Chelsie and I have conversations about life on a regular basis. She is one of those people that is really great at going deep with people fast, and from our first conversation, I’ve been impressed by her love for God and her desire to do God’s will in her life. Still, I recognize that there is an added element of vulnerability required to share deeply personal parts of our lives with complete strangers.
