An Entrepeneur's Take On The Bible: Proverbs 15

Chance & Samantha Gonnam

My name is Chance Gonnam and this is how I see the Bible. I’ve been on my faith journey for awhile now and God has worked amazing things into my life! He’s taken me from Small Town Illinois to Living In Miami in a Luxury High Rise on the Ocean. This is my first time reading the Bible. I’ve done all my learning through this journey from audio. You can read this passage below.
