What happens when your life takes a totally different path than you expected—but ends up exactly where God meant you to be? In this episode, I talk with my friend Denise about growing up as a missionary kid in the Philippines, her early dreams of following in those footsteps, and how God gently rerouted her calling. From launching a cookie business to coaching business leaders, Denise shares her story with honesty, warmth, and wisdom.
