Cole Ranck
As a new and exciting chapter of his life is coming closer, Cole cannot help but wonder about things like his purpose or goals. Recently, that has been all he can focus on. The type of family he wants, the type of job he wants, and the man he wants to be are all ideas that are flooding his mind and consuming his thoughts. These thoughts have caused his faith to grow because he has realized that without God’s guidance he cannot know what he really wants.
