“It is a profound gift to have someone steward discernment, Biblical wisdom and the tender eyes of the Father and apply those like balm to a weary heart. Rick Pierce has given that gift to my husband and me — along with countless friends. Our lives and our family are forever impacted by the remarkable ministry of HeartStrong.”
