Be Love. Do Good. with Kristi Hayes

Kristi Hayesrss.com

Has something simple ever changed your life? A lunch box note changed mine. A few years ago, my husband wrote a timely message to our son that said: BE STRONG, PROTECT THE WEAK, LOVE EVERYONE. Those six words ignited our family's mission to love others well.

Each week on Be Love. Do Good. podcast, we'll share ideas, encouraging words, and stories that inspire you to love outside your comfort zone.
