It was a God connection. I felt very at ease to speak to Paul freely about many things over the year we shared time together as friends. Paul is like a big brother to me. I can trust Paul and he gave good advice to me. Very caring and a non judgmental approach. Thank you Paul.

Practical way hmm.. I’m not sure because shortly after I started to learn about getting rid of shame and walking in my true identity in Christ but I feel like brother Paul was the stepping stone to that starting. 🌷 I don’t know if I’ve answered this right 🙏
