Be Who You Are at The Gap at Sawmill Meadow

TJ shares about what he learned about himself and how that has informed what he wants to pursue AFTER The Gap.

Joshua shares how he has grown throughout his time at The Gap and about his plans to stay in South Fork for 3 more months.

Summarizing time at The Gap in a 20 minute podcast is not an easy task. But, Eve shares about the lies she was believing about herself before coming to The Gap; a rough experience her first job here in South Fork; the beauty of living in community; and then how she made the Catholic faith that she grew up with her own while at The Gap.

Hear from Nancy as she recounts the story and the "why" behind her encouraging Eve to forego college and attend The Gap at Sawmill Meadow. She also talks about how she raised her girls in the Catholic church and how she has celebrated how Eve has made her faith her own while at The Gap. She also can't believe that Eve can cook, chop wood and tend a fire!

If you are a parent who might be in a similar position of introducing the idea of a Gap Year to your own new adult, Nancy shares some wisdom reminding us not to be afraid of pushback, that life is not a race, and hope is not a strategy.

Wow! This was such a fun interview because it touches on ideas Jay and I are both passionate about. Jay runs a business called LifeAfter12th and he coaches new adults when choosing their career path. We talk about the "guess and go" approach to choosing a career vs an approach that is rooted in wisdom, information and discernment. And how confidently choosing a career path starts with knowing yourself well. Jay loves new adults and has a passion to see them thrive as an adult. He is the perfect partner for The Gap at Sawmill Meadow.

With less than 40 days left for Herd One, we have lots of reflections! On this episode, Rob, Terri and I talk about the value of dedicating the first fruit of time in a new adult life to practice the ways of Jesus.

Hear Ashley talk about what it has been like with 2 of her adults children at The Gap!

Hear from Laura who mentors one of the members of Herd One and recently returned from South Fork after meeting her mentee for the first time in person. She has great encouragement for mentors in general and we love what she says about her observations from her time at The Gap.

Eve is starting to share just how impactful being at The Gap and understanding how God created her to be is changing her perspective.

Over 4 months into the program and Joshua shares how old thought processes kept him from fully embracing the magnitude of God and how his mentors are helping him see that.
