The evening offers stories of strength and inspiration from people that live lives of service dedicated to sharing the real answers they have found in dealing with "living life on life's terms". Be ready to be amazed, deeply moved, and bent over in laughter by these characters and their testimony from the trenches. You might find some answers to 'issues you are doing time on in your own life...'
