Listener Mandy Birch served in the military as an engineer for 30 years and now works in quantum computing, fields typically thought of as masculine. God has used Mandy’s love of adventure and doing the hard things to show her how to overcome obstacles, extend charity to others, learn to make allies, and embrace her own limits. Join Erin and Sarah as they talk with Mandy, whose story demonstrates that God’s design is big enough to encompass different giftings and callings.
