MEET CHARLOTTE
“I’ve always felt like God was calling me back to him, but I was so resistant. Even though I felt like I was missing something, I wanted to do things on my own, in my way, in my time. But I still felt lost. I made every excuse not to go to church in-person, but online, I had no more excuses. So I decided to watch Epic Online and give it a go.”
