Introduction

Hey, welcome to Mission Hills. So good to have you with us here on the first weekend of the new year and the first weekend of a new series designed to help us get the most out of this new year.

But when those exact same obstacles come up in someone's life who doesn't have momentum, those obstacles don't just slow them down, they stop 'em in their tracks.
