Welcome! Today we are talking all about perseverance. Sometimes we have to go through difficulties and challenges in order to grow.

Mama Z's beauty pageants are a lot of work and, in fact, we'll be doing it again this year! In this podcast, Mama Z shares 3 stories about overcoming contest challenges to be successful.

We discuss how persistence, hard work, and great coaching helped us get through these events and how we even used them to teach our children. We also touch on how we persevered through busy seasons and marital challenges!

We'll also share plenty of Bible verses that have inspired us along the way to help encourage you. Join us today to learn how you can survive difficult times with grace and maturity!
