We accept many roles in this life: parent, co-worker, friend. Most of us do this willingly, and yet may wonder if there is a deeper essence of spirit that exists within our selves. Today we speak with interfaith minister Jacob Watson, and Hancock Lumber president, Kevin Hancock, about the ways in which they have more intimately connected with their own spirits, and encouraged others to do the same.
