On this episode of Group Answers, Brian and Chris sit down with author, Robin Dance, to talk about her new book: For All Who Wander.

A former marketing and PR professional, Robin Dance now encourages others in life and faith as a writer, speaker, and small group leader. She’s a founding contributor for (in)courage, DaySpring’s online community for women, has been featured in HomeLife and Mature Living magazines, and advocated for children in poverty as a Compassion International blogger in India.

Robin believes listening well, laughter, and generosity are indispensable superpowers, and there might not be a sweeter ministry than a warm delivery of sourdough bread. Married to her college sweetheart and mom to a daughter and two sons, Robin currently lives in middle Georgia and online at robindance.me.
