In this insightful and faith-driven episode of Joy Inspired, Nikki Cruise explores what it means to build a Christ-centered brand. In episode 11—a number symbolizing incompleteness before divine fulfillment—Nikki reflects on how our imperfections allow God’s grace to shine through in business and life.
