In this heartfelt episode of Echos of Impact, Briana Gray and Cherise Thompson sit down with Precious Warren—a writer and homeschool mom passionate about helping families rediscover wonder. Living in Kansas City with her husband and two children, Precious shares how play and prayer often intertwine in her home, and how God literally renamed her Precious, transforming how she sees herself and her purpose.

Precious opens up about healing from past trauma, moving from people-pleasing into freedom, and learning to receive God's love apart from performance. She invites moms—especially the burned-out, unseen, and overwhelmed—to create again with God, one small step at a time.
