Belinda Pollard, Donita Bundy and Alison Joy celebrate four years of the podcast by going back to the beginning… our very first episode, WHAT IS GRACEWRITING?, which continues to be one of our most popular. At this time in history, for some reason God seems to be moving in a new way among creatives, using us to reach places and people that might not be open to other forms of communication. Whether you've joined Gracewriters recently or been with us from the start, we hope you enjoy touching base with who we are and what we're all about.
