Leslie Leyland Fields is not only an award-winning author of ten books, but also a commercial fisherwoman for four decades working with her husband and six children in a salmon fishing operation on their won island off the coast of Kodiak Island, Alaska.

So when someone like Leslie writes about the storms that might come and looks at the gospel stories of the disciples with Jesus out on the Sea of Galilee, she just might know what she is talking about. In her book, Crossing the Waters, she writes about following Jesus through the storms, the fish, the doubt, and the seas. I won’t give it away, but she shares a life-threatening story on the podcast that brings us both to tears.

If you are in the middle of a stormy time, give Faith Conversations a listen this week!
