Emotionally Healthy Spirituality - Pete Scazzero on SBE (Re-Air)

Erik Guzman August 13th, 2010

From the outside, it looked like Pastor Pete Scazzero was on top of the world. The church he planted in New York was filling up with people (many of them new Christians) and the atmosphere was electric. But on the inside, Pete was secretly dying. Then he hit the wall.
