Walking by Faith, Not Sight: Kayla Jenkins' Inspiring Journey on The Blind Chick Podcast In this episode of 'The Blind Chick,' hosts Moses and Penn Street bring to the fore stories of resilience and the triumphs over life's hurdles, particularly focusing on living with vision impairment. The narrative unfolds with Moses and Penn encouraging audience engagement through feedback and announces the addition of a new podcast, 'Game Changers,' about adaptive sports. The highlight of the episode is an inspiring conversation with guest Kayla Jenkins, a young woman who, despite an aggressive form of glaucoma that led to significant vision loss, earned her law degree and is pursuing seminary studies. Jenkins, the youngest of twelve siblings, shares her journey from aspiring lawyer to founding Blind Faith Ministries, a platform rooted in faith and resilience against adversity. Throughout, the hosts and Jenkins touch upon the importance of self-advocacy, the distinction between sight and vision, and the role of faith in navigating life's challenges.
