108 || How God Uses Brokenness to Shape Your Dream || April Matt

Send us Fan Mail In this week’s episode, April Matt, co-founder and director of the Pennsylvania-based nonprofit Along the Way, reveals the value of asking good questions as you prepare to pursue your dream. And, more importantly, she reminds us to listen to the answers; in doing so you might uncover something you never considered. You’ll also hear why your dream is worth pursuing, even when it gets hard, you have bad days or feel like quitting. Finally, April teaches us the importance of knowing your strengths and weaknesses so you can partner with people who have what you lack. And, as you surround yourself with people, they can help you see when you’re attempting to do it all on your own strength instead of resting in the Lord and His. April is a wife and mother of one spunky daughter, and she has lived in the Souderton, PA, area for most of her life. She has worked for two non-profits for over 13 years. April was a single mother at one time and is wired with plenty of energy which she uses to engage in acts of mercy and justice in order to make her community a better place for all. You can find April being creative through sewing or graphic arts, surfing the Jersey waves, working out, and being playful and spontaneous daily!
