Lyndy Phillips, Agspiration
Having been born into a farming family and raised on the farm, Lyndy
Phillips knows first hand what agriculture families and communities deal

Our speaker is an
original Freedom

friend was brutally murdered. But he turned
the page and began writing new, more
fulfilling chapters in his life – chapters filled
with healing, hope,
