39:41 – A Sunday talk from The Center for Spiritual Living North Jersey by Rev. Joel Fotinos.
Are you waiting until circumstances in your life change before you live fully? Are you waiting until you have more time, more money, or more energy before taking action toward your dreams? There is always something that can delay our good, if we let it. Join Rev. Joel as he discusses the ways we can stop delaying our dream, and start living our joy right here and right now.
