Beyond Qualified - A Converge Leadership PodcastS3E5 - Leading Without Compromise with Makenna Limon and Sheldon FarringtonSheldon Farrington and Makenna Limon wrap up Season 3 by encouraging us to hold firm to the values and principles that Scripture provides.

What are the non-negotiables in our Christian life that we will not let culture influence?
