Interview with Eden
I had the absolute privilege to sit down and interview a friend of mine, Eden Brihan, the founder of She Abides Collective. When I sat down with her, it quickly became clear that She Abides is about far more than fitness.
With her background in biochemistry, Masters degree in Public Health and strong faith, she brings both scientific knowledge and personal conviction to the conversation. Rather than viewing health solely through the lens of medicine, she's passionate about the wider determinants of health—the environmental, cultural, and lifestyle factors that shape our well-being. For her, faith naturally belongs within that conversation.
That belief fuels She Abides, a growing community built around sisterhood, movement, and worship. Importantly, she stresses that no one needs to have an established faith to attend. Whether you're deeply rooted in Christianity, exploring it for the first time, or simply curious, everyone is invited.
She describes caring for your body as an act of stewardship and, ultimately, worship. Looking after ourselves isn't about chasing perfection or appearance; it's about respecting the gift we've been given.
Prevention is another principle she feels strongly about. With chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes affecting younger people more than ever before, she believes prevention and education have never been more important.
Like many founders, however, her journey wasn't without doubt. She spoke candidly about the fear she experienced before launching She Abides and the uncertainty that came with taking those first steps. After facing multiple venue rejections, she chose to trust God rather than give up—a decision that ultimately led her to the perfect venue and reinforced the importance of stepping out in faith, even when the outcome isn't yet visible.
By the end of our conversation, it was evident that She Abides isn't simply encouraging women to exercise more. It's inviting them into a community where faith, health, and genuine connection come together, reminding women that caring for their bodies and nurturing their spiritual lives are not separate pursuits, but two parts of the same journey.
Ade: Hello Eden. I hope you're well. Thank you so much again for taking the time to have this brief casual interview just to hear your perspective, know more about what you're building and just everything to do with just your belief about fitness, health, wellbeing. So first of all, tell us a bit about yourself.
Eden: Of course. Yeah, of course. Thank you so much, Ade. It's lovely to be here. A bit about myself, my name is Eden as you said and I am the founder of She Abides and we are a Christ-centered health and wellness community for women. I can go into a bit of what we do there in a second but in terms of my background and in terms of my passion I work in public health policy. I'm really passionate about improving health outcomes for everyone and I've studied public health and biochemistry. So, I kind of I studied the science behind things, but I really like to integrate my faith into what I do and kind of the professional and academic side of what I do as well. So that's kind of where a lot of my passion stems from and what I believe I was called to do.
Ade: Nice. Wonderful. That's really interesting to hear. So when do you feel like the first seed or inspiration came, that set you on this trajectory.
Eden: Trajectory for the community that I founded or just in general faith in health and things?
Ade: In general. Your degree which then obviously led to your job which obviously then led to She Abides what was the first moment?
Eden: That's a really good question. I feel like I've always been someone who's always keen to help people. I always want to serve others. Even when I was younger, I feel like that was just kind of my heart posture. Even before I came to Christ, I feel like that was always kind of my heart behind wanting to work in an area where I was improving health for others and helping people better their lives. I think we all know the impact that health can have on your life. It can really affect your day-to-day life. And I think there's so much power in knowledge and awareness and prevention, which is where kind of a lot of my passion and that steer towards biochemistry to public health came. So, when I was doing the biochemistry degree, I was like learning about all these pathways and proteins and all these things which is so fascinating, but I just knew that there was something so much bigger than that going on for a lot of people's health.
It's not just the metabolic pathway in your body, but it's what does your environment look like? What does your culture look like? What does your lifestyle look like and how are all these things influencing your health? Because this has a huge impact for so many people. And the professional term for it is like the wider determinants of health and there's a whole study on that and how that actually influences people's lives. So that's kind of where my passion came from to help people improve their health. Looking at wider things than just the actual metabolic pathways and the medicine of the body.
Throughout that time I started growing closer to the Lord and understanding what it actually meant to live a lifestyle of worship and how that actually included everything in your life. Not just on a Sunday or not just the things that were related to our spiritual life kind of directly but everything that we do is supposed to glorify him and be an act of worship. So I think that naturally just stuck to what I was doing in health and wellness and at work with kind of improving health outcomes for people because yeah God wants justice. He wants people to have access to good things. He wants people to be aware of what they're doing to their bodies, what they're accessing, and what's available to them. So, yeah, that's kind of a bit of the heart behind it. I hope that I hope that answers your question.
Ade: No, absolutely. Thank you so much. That's really helpful! Something you said about the wider determinants really piqued my interest. So for the average person, what do they not know about the wider determinants of their health that they should know about?
Eden: Okay. Yeah, I think I could talk about this for so long, so I'm going to try and answer it in a nutshell, but so our wider determinants of health include things that can influence our health and our health outcomes that aren't necessarily directly related to your physiology of your body. So, this could start off really small.
There's an ecological model where it starts off in the center where it's direct things and then it can go even wider and wider where the very wide things is like the political state of society and how people view certain very wide systemic changes that can happen. But, in between that you have things like you know your culture and your family, your beliefs, things like what school you went to, what area you grew up in, access to healthy food, access to so many different things like how far your GP is away from you, how far any medical support is away from you or even just what your friends do peer pressure.
So many different things that can influence your health. And it's important to be aware of these things and how they can actually affect us and how even though you may not live in an environment, maybe for example, someone might have grown up in a food desert, which is what is classified as somewhere that doesn't have access to access to affordable fruit and vegetable, which is actually a lot of places in London where you would have to go quite a journey away to actually find affordable fruits and vegetables and healthy foods. And although you may not live in a food desert anymore, you may have moved out and you live in an area that's very different to where you grew up in because your body was trained to kind of only look at certain foods and certain lifestyles and certain things. You may not actually access the things that are now maybe closer to you. So it's it may not actually why the determinants may not necessarily be something that's in your current situation. It might actually be from your past as well. So yeah, it's very complex but super interesting. I hope I've done it justice. I feel like that's what I've got off the top of my head.
Ade: No, you have definitely. Thank you. Cuz yeah, it's something that I'm very aware of now that I've gotten a bit older that actually accessibility is a huge part of people's health. And even just the fact that the more you know, the better-informed decisions you can make.
It's something that even as simple as actually reading the ingredients of what you're buying or looking at nutritional information or just having a bit more of an understanding of what is a healthy diet and or even something like we were talking culture; the proportions that we eat in terms of your carbohydrates, your vegetables, your protein. That's something that culturally for me who is Nigerian has been completely turned on its head as I've got older and I've learned a bit more.
Let's pivot a bit to talking about She Abides which I'm sure you have so much to say but to someone who's completely new to She Abides collective what would you describe that as
Eden: Yeah of course so I would describe She Abides collective as a community space so we are a Christ-centered health and wellness community for women our focus is really at building sisterhood, bringing people together to build community while honoring our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit. And that includes physical exercise and health and wellness, but also wider than that as well. Health is so much more than just going to the gym or exercising and eating healthy. It's also taking care of your mind. It's taking care of your well-being.
So to date we have had two Pilates and praise events which have been amazing and we've got one next week as well which currently preparing for. But following that we're actually going to have an event in the autumn that's going to be more a mindfulness event. So I won't say too much more, but it's going to be much more creative and kind of just allowing people to really be with their thoughts and be still with the Lord while also building that community. So yeah, it's been an amazing journey. There's been so many people who have come to our events and I'm so appreciative of all the support and I'm so grateful that the Lord kind of led me on this journey.
Ade: Tell the people a bit more about the start of the journey because I know we've talked about it a little bit how there was times you had to kind of overcome this fear of right could I actually do it or put just putting your face out on social media. Do share a bit cuz I think hearing stories that, hearing testimonies like that, it really does help people who are on the precipice of doing something or feel like there's a dream in their heart, or the Lord has told them to start something but they're just a bit stuck or a bit fearful. How would you speak to that person relating to your own story?
Eden: Yeah, of course that's a really good point. And I think as I completely agree I think there's so much power in sharing testimonies and journeys when it comes to how the Lord has moved.
When it was January this year where I feel like I finally took the leap of faith but before that the Lord was definitely speaking to me that he wanted me to host and create a community and he wanted me to create community to help people build sisterhood. I didn't know what it would look like. I knew that in the end I definitely wanted it to be focused on women's health.
My personal passion is women's health and improving health outcomes for women. But I thought let me not go too big too soon let me just start with just small events right and just start with something small. But I was praying on it and I was fasting in January with my church and during that time I was just seeking the Lord and asking him to reveal what he wanted for me to do and he was yeah just telling me that he wanted me to start. I think for me what was really difficult was actually just that first step cuz it's you want to have everything ready I've got I'm making lists of things I need to get sorted people I should speak to things like that should be done before I say anything or do anything, but I know that in my spirit the Lord was just telling me just move just do one thing and when you take that first step that's when he's able to meet you there and ultimately me delaying it was disobedience right. He's asking me to do something when I'm not I'm saying I don't trust you and that's no good. So, yes, eventually I did, you know, I was obedient and I took a step out in faith and I planned to do a Paint and Praise event.
I wanted to do something with Pilates. That was actually my first kind of dream event, if you will. But I just didn't think that I would actually be able to find a venue that I could afford and have affordable tickets for. So, I thought, you know what, let me just start with a Paint and Praise. I'll meet somewhere in the middle. So, I was on a prayer walk during my lunch break and I was just going around to lots of different venues asking if I could use their spaces for a Paint and Praise and I was obviously getting lots of rejections. But, you know what? That's always going to happen. So, I just I would say I'm a pretty confident person, but rejection is still not nice. So, I think after the third or fourth one, I was like, "Lord, I'm tired. I don't want to do anymore." He just kept prompting me. The Holy Spirit was just saying, "Keep going. Keep going. Turn left, turn right." And I was just "Okay, fine. I'm walking. I'm going. I can only do what you follow, what you tell me to do.” And after I think the fifth rejection, I saw a studio that was new that had opened on the on the across the street. So, I went in and honestly I had completely forgotten that I wanted to host a Pilates event. I went in and asked if I could use their studio to do painting and they were "Let's give you a tour of the venue." They were such lovely people. And I kept saying "No, I've had enough rejection. Just tell me your price and tell me your availability and I'm going”. I didn't want to hear it and they offered to give me a tour four times and I was like okay fine I will have a tour. Cuz I just thought it's my lunch break as well. I'm trying to go back and eat my lunch before I go back to the office. Right. So I went in, they gave me a tour and I literally saw the most pretty pink Pilates studio and the Holy Spirit was just like “Eden this is where I want you to host the event.” And I was like, "Oh my gosh, I can't believe this." I just couldn't. God is so good. He's so intentional. It's the fact that I came and he led me to this studio, the fact that they had affordable pricing that I could use to make affordable tickets. It was just something that I could not have possibly thought prepared myself for.
And it's so funny because sometimes we forget that the Lord sees the desires of our hearts because the Lord knew that I wanted to host a Pilates event, but I thought I was asking for too much and I just thought, let me just settle for this and we'll do that in the future later this year.
I spoke with the person there and the owner was actually a Christian woman as well. She knew my church. So, we started connecting over faith and it was just so beautiful and we hosted two events at that venue and it's been amazing. He's genuinely been so faithful. He's asked me to take one step and He makes the rest of the way. And I think it's so sometimes when the Lord asks us to do things cuz I still experience it today. We forget how big our God is and we forget that he's actually in control of everything. He wouldn't ask you to do something if he wasn't going to be with you and show you and guide you the whole way. That's what his promise is to us that he will never leave nor forsake us and he's working all things out for our good. So, I think that fear was such a barrier and a hindrance at the start, but I think seeing his faithfulness just made me believe even more.
And even today when I'm planning this next event next week, there's definitely things where I'm like “Lord, I need you to come through. This is no joke. Please, I'm praying.” And then I just have to remind myself of who He is and what He's already done and He's that same God who's done it before. Why wouldn't he do it again? Right? So yeah, that's how it all started.
Ade: Wow. Such a wonderful testimony. It never I'll never get tired of hearing it. Really just shows how relational God wants to be with all of us; that he sees the things hidden in our hearts, the things that, you know, we really want to do but might have a little bit of fear about. But God is faithful. Thank you.
Eden: Amen. Amen.
Ade: So, what kind of preparation goes into the events? In terms of your intention and your heart for when people walk in, what kind of atmosphere they're going to experience. How do you make sure, that say someone who's completely new or doesn't know anyone or comes by themselves, that people get the kind of experience that you're wanting them to have?
Eden: Yeah, of course. I think a big part of the preparation is prayer and seeking the Lord of what what He wants. So just a bit about our events. So we have Christ-centered Pilates for about an hour and before that we also have praise and worship and we have praise and worship after the Pilates as well. And in addition to that there'll be ice breakers and games and then lots of time for people to chat and get their free drinks and everything. So that's just a little bit in terms of what the events include because I don't think I said that.
But as I mentioned previously, prayer is a huge part of this. So, for all the events I've hosted, there's kind of been a heart and a verse that the Lord has put on my heart for each event. And that is something that we'll all meditate on together during the Pilates session. So, we'll have some meditation time before and after the Pilates to really just be still with the Lord before we get into it. And I do try to do that when I personally work out as well because I think the Lord wants to be included in everything. So meditating on who he is and his goodness before you start something and after you finish I think is so powerful. So that's a big part of what we do. And again of course having praise and worship in there glorifying the Lord. It just creates an atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to dwell and really just touch each and every one of his daughters.
My prayer for every event and everything we do is that the Lord would bring His daughters that He wants to be in that room there. And you know, if finances are a struggle, people will reach out and we will make a way for them to be there because we never want that to be a barrier for people not accessing the events and being able to access the community. So many people say in interviews and afterwards, I could literally feel the Holy Spirit the whole time in the Pilates, during the worship, during the games, they can tangibly feel the presence of the Lord in that room and I think there's just something so powerful about that.
I think the Lord wants to be included in every single thing we do. And of course, having Him in the room when we're in church on a Sunday is fantastic, but He wants to be in the room when you're working. He wants to be in the room when you're working out, when you're cooking, when you're singing, when you're in the shower. Holy Spirit wants to be with you all the time. And he is with you all the time, but he requires for us to welcome him in, right? So, I think that is like a big part of what we do, praying before and after the session, having a time for intercession and for people to connect.
Most people do come alone. It's actually very rare that people come in twos and threes that most people actually come alone. And I think that really helps people to come together because you know we all know we're all sisters in Christ. So it's there is that love, there is that understanding. We also always have volunteers helping out on the day. So if anyone is super nervous there will be people who will come up to you and welcome you and bring you in. But genuinely when I come and speak to people when everyone's mingling, having their drinks, I'll assume people came together. I'll be like "How do you guys know each other?" And they'll be like "We just met today." And it's like "What? No way." You wouldn't be able to tell. People get along so well. Everyone is so friendly. So yeah, I really love that about the events for sure.
Ade: Nice. I'm really glad to hear that. You know, I think with a lot of people who are starting events, you know, it's one thing to say that this is an inclusive space - it’s another thing to actually work it out. And I think that it's really important when you're thinking about people that they come away knowing that they're part of something that shows them that they're wanted, that they're needed there.
And I think what I’d like to ask is someone who doesn't know God, who doesn't know the Holy Spirit, doesn't know what it's like to be touched by the Holy Spirit, and thinks surely it's just about Pilates. How would you describe that to them? What it means to be in God's presence even in doing something as Pilates? I know that's probably a bit of a hard question.
Eden: I was going to say how do I describe being in God's presence? Wow. I think just to preface by saying the events are obviously focused on the Lord, but we welcome everybody. It's not a thing where it's you have to be Christian, you have to be going to church. Several people who've come have been people who maybe grown up in a Christian household, but don't necessarily have the relationship they would desire to have or would like to have in the future. So I just want to preface by saying that She Abides is for all women.
I think there is nothing like the presence of the Lord. I was actually thinking about this this morning when I was journaling. So it's funny you asked. There is nothing that compares to the presence of God. I cannot equate it to anything that is of this world. But I think what we can kind of what the best way I would describe it is that there is nothing else that matters when you're in his presence. I think it completely takes over you, your heart, your spirit, your mind. That peace that surpasses all understanding, that love, that joy that He brings. There's nothing else that will ever compare. And I think for a lot of us, when we were in the world, we thought we had the best version of love, of peace, of joy, of you know, happiness, and all the things that we thought fulfilled us. But then when you experience the presence of the Lord, it just shows you that yeah, that it was nice, but it was never anything that compares to the presence of God. So yeah, that's kind of how I'd describe it.
Ade: That's really good. That's really good. And I think that's important to put out there for someone who maybe is curious or is not very used to you know, the church or God or anything like that. I hope it plants a seed of okay let me be a bit more curious, maybe check it out, let me see because you said it's nothing you can really describe to any other physical feeling or anything the world can give you. Yeah, definitely that's really important to know.
I think I've got one more question which will be about what do you think the connection between - and I'm going very deep here- but what do you think the connection between your spiritual health is and your physical health?
Eden: That's a very good question. I definitely think there is a strong connection between your physical and spiritual health. And I would I wouldn't even just say physical but I would say mental and physical your; body's health in general. Because I think of course our spiritual health is so important but kind of what you were saying before the way I see it is that the presence of God is where we have everything we need, right? And it's I think there is where we find healing, where we find restoration, redemption, and everything that we need. But I think it doesn't make sense to me that you could have or in my opinion I don't think my spiritual health can be on 100 if I've completely neglected all other areas of health in my life. I think the Lord wants you know obviously when it comes to physical body right we say our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and we are to glorify him in everything we do and I think that applies to all areas of our life. So, you know, whether that is like how you take care of your physical body or your mental well-being or even just rest as well. I think that's a huge thing.
Maybe your spiritual health is great. Maybe you've been in the word, you've been fasting and all these things, but are you resting? And it's all these things accumulate and I think they all kind of connect to one another. Of course, the Lord is in the center of our lives and everything else revolves around that, right? He is the most important thing. He is the one that we center our lives around. But in my opinion, you can't have just that and then not everything else. It kind of all will fall into place. It's when we are seeking the Lord, when we're seeking his face, when we're seeking his kingdom first and we prioritize him in everything we do, naturally these other things like prioritizing your health, prioritizing your friendships and relationships and being more Jesus in everything you do will naturally lead to you falling into healthy spiritual habits, healthy lifestyle habits, healthy mental health habits, all these things.
It's not easy. I'm not going to sit here and say oh, once you give your life to Christ, everything will become healthy. No, no, it's a journey. And I think that's why it's beautiful. And I think it's very normal for there to be ups and downs as well. You know, some weeks your spiritual health will be on 100 and then the next week it might be on 20. And that's actually okay. And that's normal because we're human beings. And the same with our physical health and all these things.
Something I'm also a big advocate speaking about as well is like women's hormonal cycles and how that really impacts our spiritual life as well. We're not the same every single week. And the same way that for example when people cycle sync, which is basically looking at how you can adapt your workouts, your eating, and your lifestyle to each week of your cycle or each stage of your cycle, they're not all a week long. The same applies to your spiritual cycle as well. The way that I'm able to pray one week of my cycle and the way that I have attention span and focus is not the same as it would be another week. And that's perfectly normal. God actually created this cycle within us and he doesn't expect us to always be the same. So I think that would be my key thing around spiritual, physical, and mental health is that they're not always going to be on 100 and that's okay. It's more so just about seeking him first and trying to be more Jesus in everything we do and trusting that he will help you to kind of build that balance along the way. So yeah, I hope that answered your question. I went on a tangent but…
Ade: This is a very interesting, very interesting take about the spiritual health being kind of having a cycle as well as the hormonal cycle. It's really, it's really cool. I will think about that more.
Just to finish you know with the idea behind ‘Tend Your Temple’, for me the heart of it was just helping people to care. Just through I feel being able to change the way you think about your body and your health and your well-being as something as a temple, something sacred, something that you know God created and inherently then has you know divine value. I feel one challenge I'm really trying to help people understand is like why they should care - just simply that. Even people who know may not see themselves in that way I still feel that there's enough scientific research, publications about our physical health and our wellbeing. But just to round off what would you say to someone that says “I don't really care about it. I don't think it's that deep”. Why should your health, your well-being, your physical health be a priority?
Eden: Wow, that's so good. Yeah, I want to say that I love everything you're doing with Tend Your Temple. I think it's amazing and we definitely need more of that within the community cuz I think it's not, in my opinion, at least, not spoken up enough about at the church. Of course we'll do series on lots of things but I think health is something that is huge and it's in my opinion taking care of our bodies not just my opinion, it's a form of worship right taking care of anything the Lord has given us and as you said and our bodies are temples they are gifts from the Lord and for a lot of people I think we sometimes don't realize how blessed we are in our health.
So I broke my ankle three years ago now and I couldn't walk for six months. When you go through something like that, I don't even think that's super dramatic, some people have been through so much more, right? But not being able to walk for six months and it was over the summer holidays as well. It was not cute. By the grace of God, I'm all fully healed now. But you recognize and realize how much of a blessing it is to have good health. Having good health, a body that functions well, a body that's able to eat food and digest it normally. The fact that you can run and jump and walk and talk and lift things up and do what you want when you want because your physical body doesn't hold you back. That is a huge blessing. And so many of us don't realize how much of a blessing it is until it's taken away, where now a doctor tells you that you can't do something. You're like “Oh my gosh, I can't, what do you mean I can't walk? What do you mean I'm not able to exercise? What do you mean I'm not able to see my friends and run outside?” We forget how blessed we are to have good health. And of course, a lot of people aren't in good health and they are suffering, but we shouldn't have to get to a place of suffering to recognize how blessed we are.
So I think my kind of my message to someone who was struggling with that would be to really just kind of reflect on how blessed you are to have good health. And how much how much of a gift your body is and how it is your job and it's actually a form of worship to steward it well. We're called to steward everything we have well. I think sometimes stewardship is only associated to money, “where it's steward your money well. The Lord will bless you with more and all these things”, but stewardship comes to your job, it comes to your friendships, to your health, to your finances of course, but everything the Lord blesses us with, we are called to steward well. I think taking care of your health, physical, mental, spiritual, everything in terms of your health is so important. If anything, like even though I know we shouldn't take care of it for selfish reasons, but prevention is huge. That's a lot of what I do at my job is like advocating for education and awareness and prevention of health problems to come in the future. There is so much power in prevention. We don't have to wait until we're at the point where we need treatment and intervention. Why can't we take care of what we have now to prevent that from happening in the future? Especially because of the very sedentary lifestyle that a lot of the world has fallen into right now it's more important than ever that we take care of our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit. So yeah, that would be my advice.
Ade: That is a brilliant answer. Thank you. You know, you got me thinking it's almost the same way you put money into a pension pot. You know, it's money that you're not going to be able to use now, but you know that by having the intention and the foresight that this is something that in the future will help you. It's the same way. Care for the things that we do for our health now because I think the reason why people may not care is because you said they've not broken their ankle yet. They've not had the thing that's put them in the hospital. They're not, you know, out of breath or just walking up the stairs yet, but it's the things that you're doing now that begin to form a strong habit in you. And then once that strong habit's there, it's as the Bible says ‘you reap what you sow’. So yeah, I want to help people sow the right things in the future. You talked about being able to walk, lift up things like I want to be able to do all of those things when I'm 80, you know, right?
Eden: Amen. Amen.
Ade: You can age gracefully, you know?
Eden: Amen. Definitely. Yeah. No, that's so good. No, thank you so much. That's amazing. And honestly, it's so inspiring to, you know, hear about what you're doing and your heart behind what you're doing as well. I hope you get someone to interview you as well because I'd love to hear the journey about Tend Your Temple as well. We need to hear that or we need to see you make content. Honestly, I don't know if you saw the data that came out recently around type 2 diabetes in Gen Z. But I think have you seen it?
Ade: Yeah. Was it specifically about women as well?
Eden: Yeah. So there's been an increase in men and women. I can't remember what the stats were for men. There was an increase I want to say 30-40%. Please don't quote me on it. Don't use this clip because I don't know what the numbers are. But for women, it was almost a 60% increase in type two diabetes in Gen Z. And that is huge. And of course it's a 60% increase. It's not that 60% of women have type 2 diabetes, right? But that is very big. That is a very big increase.**
At work at the moment we're putting together strategies and things like how to address that because it's because of the changes in accessibility to sugar and fast food and the sedentary lifestyle and even TikTok trends about certain things. And it's me too. I'm a victim of them. Me I love a Blank Street too with cookie butter on the side. I'll be so real. But it's how are we actually adapting our lifestyles to ensure that we're not gearing ourselves up to chronic disease within our 30s. You know type 2 diabetes was not a disease for people in their 20s but because it was it is largely influenced by people who are obese or struggling with overweight and have certain BMIs but in previous generations that was not people in their 20s but looking at the increase it is really stark and it's really worrying but I think it just highlights that there is such a need for this and the Lord desires justice and I think for a lot of this it's improving outcomes, helping people become more aware with more information so that they can have better outcomes for their life. That is what God wants. He wants justice. He wants good things for his children. So yeah, keep going. Keep doing what you're doing. There's a need. So please don't stop. But yeah, it's amazing. So thank you so much.
