In September 2015, Jim VanSteenhouse had a near-death experience that changed his life completely. He was attacked by a grizzly bear in the deep wilderness of Canada. Some could say he is very lucky to be alive. For Jim, however, that was the ultimate sign of how God’s pre-determined plan is infinitely clearer than any effort or resolution he may have. Jim’s story is a Toolbox favorite and a great opportunity to grab a friend to join you for lunch.
