These early lessons shape not only who we become as parents but also influence our leadership styles in all areas of our lives.

Join us Sunday, February 16th, at 9 am EST as we dive into the profound impact of fatherhood with special guest, Norm J. Jones PhD, an expert in organizational development, executive leadership, and human relations.

Join us this Sunday, February 2, 2025 at 9:00 AM EST as Kelli welcomes Dr. Linda McGhee.

Dr. Linda McGhee will join us in a transformative conversation about how self-love is the foundation for everything we do—how we heal, how we connect, and how we show up in the world. When we neglect ourselves, we feel it—through exhaustion, anxiety, and the silent weight of responsibilities. But when we honor ourselves with care, compassion, and healthy boundaries, we create space for clarity, joy, and the ability to love others more deeply.

This is more than a conversation—it’s a reminder that love begins within. Before we can fully give to others, we must first give to ourselves. Let’s come together this morning to reaffirm our worth, recharge our spirits, and embrace the power of self-love.

We're excited to welcome our resident therapist, Dr. Linda, ack to our SonRise Sunday Support Group Call for an inspiring session on self-love. Register here for this FREE session.
