Description

Adi Tilford, a Jesus-led writer, speaker, and leader, interviews guests as an intentional, compassionate response to this complex world. As a survivor of traumatic childhood adversity, inside-out-cycle breaker, and starting-small-difference-maker, Adi believes in the power of presence and authentic conversation to create positive movement in our lives. Each 8KP series is designed to help you reflect on a thematic topic in a way that invites insight, transformation, and wholehearted living.
