In this episode Bill Wolfer argues that failure is an important part of the learning process, an unavoidable feature of the road to success.

This episode has a special feature, a message from the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference President, Elder Ted Wilson. He thanks the Andrews community for our service to humanity, our actions to bless others in our local community and around the world. And he encourages us to continue to find new ways to serve others as an expression of our faith.
