Fierce Calling

Have you ever wished for just an ordinary day? When life's messiness hits hard and we discover the perfect life we strive for doesn't even exist? My guest this week is Dr. Mikala Albertson. She shares how even through brokenness, sunset moments happen every day. As she says, "perfect is pretend--life happens in the ordinary."

She also shares about difficult seasons in her marriage, her husband's struggle with addiction, her residency, raising a family. We're talking about her story and her book Ordinary on Purpose. What an amazing reminder for us to stop always looking ahead and be present right now. Because when we're looking ahead we miss what's in front of us. That beautiful, ordinary, everyday life.

I know what Dr. Mikala shares will encourage, inspire, and challenge you, so listen in while I have a chat with Dr. Mikala Albertson.
