Use this album to continue the conversation.
You do not need perfect words to begin a meaningful conversation. Sometimes the first step is simply sharing something that encouraged you.
You might send a song to someone and say:
“This made me think of you. I’d love to hear what you think.”
“This song reminded me of a conversation we had.”
“I’ve been thinking about faith lately, and this helped me put words to it.”
As you listen, we invite you to think about one person in your life who may be open to a meaningful conversation about life, faith, or God.
