Jeff Strange - an entrepreneur, business owner, eternal optimist, and risk-taker for the kingdom of God is on the podcast today. The story of who he is and where he has been is inspiring and motivating. Listen in and discover what it looks like to understand that your money truly is not your own, that everyday rhythms are more impactful than you know, and that there is a deep need in our world for men to be more. This conversation left me with a dose of energy and encouragement and I hope it does the same for you!

Motherhood is one of the sweetest things I believe a woman can experience. Raising little infants, seeing them grow and have their own thoughts, dreams, and plans is such a sacred experience. Parents, it's a beautiful thing to get to know your kids! Something I am learning is that my kids are individuals, hand-fashioned by God with their own perspective of the world. And when they are given the space from us as parents to openly explore their identity in Jesus and to answer questions about their heart, we just might find out all of the intricate details that make them THEM! 

So, today we have none other than my firecracker, 8 year old daughter, Miss Olivia Griffith! Just remember, no mother and no parent is perfect. But we can ALWAYS take time to know our kids better and instill them with encouragement and truth. Easton and Olivia bring so much joy and purity to my life and I am so blessed to be their mother!
