Mick Duncan is a speaker and author who has walked through many tough seasons in his life, including job uncertainty, death of a child, a prodigal child that was on drugs, needing to say sorry when he got it wrong, yet he’s experienced God’s grace and mercy carry him in every circumstance. By means of a live stream video link, Mick will share helpful strategies to get you through tough times. Or, if you know someone experiencing difficult circumstances you will learn how to more effectively help them.
