    Today we have the opportunity to talk to musician, motivational speaker, and Christian, George Dennehy! You actually may have seen a video that has recently gone viral of him! This is a video of George singing and playing guitar, but he’s playing guitar with his feet because he was born without arms! The Lord has been faithful to help Goerge overcome many obstacles and has taught Him how to persevere and have joy through it all. George has an incredible story and an incredible testimony that I’m so excited for you to get to hear in today’s episode!
