Forgiving – ACT2Win

Character is an admired concept, and many people seek to be a person of character. Sports stars, educators, business leaders, church leaders, and politicians discuss its value. Character may be desirable, but it remains hard to pin down. Building character is also unclear, with many believing it depends on tough times. ACT2Win shares another view, that though times as tests, not lessons. ACT2Win believes our actions that become our default habits define our character. This podcast focuses on the actions that could build our character as they become habits.
