As Pat Trice shares with us about her journey to faith in Jesus Christ, we hear about her early life in New York City and her life as a young, married woman. As Pat recollects these years, she points to looking for a sense of safety and belonging. She encourages us to get alone with God because He is available. Many things may lead us to that moment of surrender to Jesus, but His love is what will remain with us in the days and years afterwards.

Join us as we have some good laughs with our new Pursue Missions Director, Nikki, and talk about everyone's current favorite things!  You are going to hear about everything from new music to hair products to clothing rental subscription.  This is a fun one, Ladies!
