Season 8 - Episode 26 (Special Episode 4)

Welcome to Special Episode #4 of our Christmas Break Series. This week, we have a word from Sherri DeWalt, who has been dedicated to connecting, encouraging, and teaching women to grow in their relationship with God and others for over twenty years.  Her home, where she welcomes friends and family alike, is a hub of shared life, conversation and celebration. Sherri recently published her first book, "Let's Huddle - friends, faith and fun at the table," a guide for Christian women to host gatherings and create meaningful community, so that friendship can flourish and faith can take root or deepen.  It includes discussions on topics such as beauty, awe, and gratitude, as well as instructions for fun, creative projects. Passionate about justice and humanitarian issues, Sherri is an attorney and founding board member of Chariots for Hope.  Chariots provided long-term physical and emotion care, as well as education and Christian discipleship, to over 850 children in 8 communities in Kenya.Learn more about Sherri, the book, Huddles, and Chariots...www.sherridewalt.comwww.rookeryresources.comwww.amazon.com/author/sherridewaltwww.chariotsforhope.orgsherridewalt@rocketmail.comSong by Laurel Taylor, who is an award-winning artist, female producer, singer/songwriter, and trailblazer in the emerging Country Trap genre.
