Together, we talk about meaningful reminders and the everyday choices that help us live on mission right where we are. At the center of it all is her family’s mission: to know God and make Him known—and trusting that everything else flows from that foundation.Come sit with us on my figurative “back porch” and listen in to two woman who love Jesus, just trying to figure it all out.
