In the spring of 2016, a young woman named Sarah wanted to do something to help this broken world full of hurt, pain, and darkness. She knew she was not the only one who longed for "something or someone to remedy this pain and bring some kind of joy into our world". So at the age of 14, Sarah Gentry set out to create "Project Virtue" with a clear mission to inspire girls to take a stand for Christ.  "I wanted to point other teen girls to the One that would bring them the joy and fulfillment we are all longing for, and to equip them with the knowledge and inspiration to share this with others."

A lot has happened since Project Virtue began. Sarah has now earned her degree in elementary education and is teaching. Sarah loves life. "When I’m not working or blogging, I love spending time with my family, running, reading, and playing music. I may have a slight coffee addiction and love trying new coffee everywhere I go. I love sunflowers and sunrises and bluegrass music."

I met Sarah at a Ladies' Bible Study I taught to the women of congregation in Casey, Illinois who invited me to come to speak to them on the topic of how to gain spiritual strength before a storm of life comes, and what we can do to endure during the midst of those darkest days. Between sessions, Sarah approached me to introduce herself and her amazing mission and invited me to share some of my ideas along these lines on her Project Virtue podcast. I was so encouraged by her vision, I was eager to oblige, and this recording is the result of that invitation.
