Our Beating Heart
Our Beating Heart
The Latin root of the word courage is “cor” meaning heart and to tell the story of who you are with your whole heart. Missions are often born from experiences outside our control that shape us into who we’re meant to become. It’s in those moments that we find our “Why” and the beating heart behind our purpose.
This is our courageous, whole-hearted story.
