[Ep 34] Helping the Hurting: How to Be a Light with Jennifer Brianne

Oh, my goodness, do I have a treat for you today. I sat down with a new friend, Jennifer Brianne, and we had a great chat about reaching out to those who are hurting. And you guys, we had never really talked before, so essentially, it was like we were having a virtual coffee chat and you guys just get to listen in to the conversation. And it's so good. I love Jennifer's heart to reach out to those who are often forgotten about or judged. And it really challenges me to stop and consider if I need to do something more in this area. Now, Jennifer and I didn't realize how many similarities there were between the work that we do, so there may be another podcast episode in the future where we explore that. But for today, we focus on helping those who are hurting, showing up, and being there for them in their seasons of pain. Since this is a shared podcast episode, we introduce ourselves at the beginning of the conversation. Let's dive in.
