Stay to the end of this fun, interesting and, at times, amazing interview to discover how Dare 2 Share intersected with Arthur's life in a personal and powerful way!
After the interview in his basement we drove to a nearby park where I was privileged to carry the cross with Arthur while his iPhone streamed onto his Facebook channel! Be sure to watch it too!
He interviewed me about my story, Dare 2 Share Live and the need for a teen-led revival! He deeply desires to see the next generation mobilized for the mission of Jesus and to unleash them to "carry the cross" of Christ to their peers in a powerful and personal way!
Arthur and his lovely wife, Denise, are one of a kind and I count it an honor to have carried the cross with them!
