Don and his wife Vannessa have been married for 20 years and have two children: Sam, who is also a member of the church, and Victoria who also goes by “Tori.” In this episode you’ll learn about Don’s spiritual life growing up in Youngstown, Ohio, his path to the military and ultimately toward a commitment to Christ, and the ways that the Lord grew he and Vannessa’s faith through challenging child birth scenarios. Towards the end will talk about some of Don’s favorite things, so stick around."}
