  • This Man Is Different

    This man is one unique human being and I know without a doubt that God shattered the mold after Stuart was created. This man is energetic, passionate, called, clear-minded and open-minded. I enjoy his podcast/radio show and the work it does to free people from religious bonds and to heal people from religious trauma.
