Narcissism is more than a diagnosis; it is a spiritual event horizon where pride hardens into denial of truth—and only humility before God can call the soul back.

Today marks 2 years since our partnership with Coach Tom Pryde of Psalm 82 Initiative officially began. We are most grateful for the people we have witnessed being helped and prayerful for those on their journey to being helped.
