Lisa Anderson, founder of Grace's Table, shares her own story and the way that it led her to come alongside others in the midst of theirs. She shares her heart for teen moms and the importance of reminding them that they are seen, known, and loved.

She also shares the importance of cultivating the desires that God has put within us, and how giving our dreams to God allows him to do more than we can ever ask or imagine. Plus...we talk about breaking down the walls of shame, opening our doors to those around us, and the beauty of doing life around a kitchen table.

What She Said:

"I wanted to give teen moms a place where they could belong before they believe."

"He doesn't give the same gifts to every person, but he does give each person the gifts that they need to accomplish his will."

"Our mission is to move moms from isolation to community as they move toward self-sufficiency."

"Sometimes the best thing that we can do for someone when they are struggling is just to sit in silence with them."

"One of the most powerful conversations we can have with our kids is letting them know when we've missed the mark."

"When we are not doing what God has called us to do, we begin to live in a place of turmoil or unrest."

"The Father calls us by name, and so often we run the other way when what we should be doing is running toward him."
