Open the Door with Sarah Meador

Got Beloved Rascals?  Now that school has been in full swing for about a month or so, it feels like we can all spot them.  We are so thankful WBT has a game for that!

This week, Rhonda and I sit down with Sarah Meador and discuss the game Open the Door.  It's so simple, but it gets to the heart of what we need to be establishing with our most Beloved Rascals... RELATIONSHIPS!  Sarah discusses the importance of just that and walks us through this amazing WBT strategy!
