COACH MAHR's BLOG
Coach Mahr's Blog started May 2017 out of the desire to continue to share latest content that was being developed in his role as character coach. A simple expression will catch Coach’s ear and upon reflection and discernment the Holy Spirit gains a greater foothold in his consciousness and guides his words to create a woven thread.
A new blog is typically posted every 10 days.
