No matter how much some try to hide away from the world; the truth is they need human connection and they crave it despite their mentality to reject it. God created us to be with one another through relationships of various forms and to be a support system for each other throughout our lives. Audra Williams, along with Gary Vaughan, discuss the importance of using our words, creating new relationships and why we should always be seeking others who need God in their lives.
