This is Closet Conversations, where we ask the darkest of questions and dare to answer them. Using conversation as a form of healing, your host Shante Cooks, seeks to give permission to everyone to be their unique-selves. "Safety is the prerequisite for Becoming." Knowing your identity in Christ frees you, so much so that your willing to walk into the darkest closets (where the "boggy man" is...) only to find out ain't nothing in there except growth and vulnerability. Join Shante every Friday evening, as we create space to love while having Closet Conversations.
