We have all been wronged by people in our lives at some point: family members, friends, bosses, even complete strangers. Most of us carry around the hurt and resentment, which can rob us of joy, ruin our future relationships and affect us emotionally, physically and spiritually. But our guest today, author Brian Williams Sr. shows how to overcome the bitterness and anger in order to free your soul and begin living life again, to the fullest. Brian is an elder and administrator at Victory and Christian Center in Philadelphia PA and president of three successful businesses.
