Weld Found returns with a new series, “Where Water Flows Uphill”! Look for new episodes in the following weeks (made possible by the Weld Community Foundation weldcommunityfoundation.org)

In today’s show, host of Weld Found, Tim Coons, shares a personal story of belonging. When Tim took a job down in Denver in 2011, he didn’t realize that the physical distance he traversed while commuting would start to create emotional and relational distance between himself and his community here in Weld County. His story is about bridging that gap and rediscovering belonging in a new role closer to home.
