The Being Devotionals with LaSaundra Gibson
The Being Devotionals is a contemplative space that encourages a posture of “being" rather than a performative spirituality. Join LaSaundra Gibson for conversations that inspire you to know yourself and God more intimately. You’re invited to be curious, listen deeply, explore your spirituality, and learn about the God who calls you "Beloved!" As a spiritual director, LaSaundra Gibson enjoys walking alongside others on their spiritual journeys–holding space for people to share honestly from their sacred souls.
