Today, Janell sits down with May’s cohost Becca Schultz. Becca grew up in rural Pennsylvania & Ohio with her mom (a catholic) and her dad (a protestant) and two sisters. She is currently studying science with the intent to be a middle school science teacher. Even though her university is one if the most known party-schools, Becca has found a great biblical community on her campus.

She has been learning what her faith means to her. For a while, she was putting on a fake face and felt pressured to stay with her upbringing, but now is letting her faith become her own. She started attending a non-denominational church in high school. In the context of the non-denominational church, she appreciated the ability to be open and honest about her story and she had the opportunity to be discipled.
