Our ability to endure, persevere, and thrive is the fruit of God's grace that rests on our lives.So, whether you're working hard under the pressure of hustle and grind or flowing in God's grace, this episode will inspire you to keep going and trust in His plan.Shae Bynes is a passionate storyteller, mentor, and strategist who equips leaders to be catalysts for transformation in the marketplace.
