Coming out of a school counseling career in November 2020, this conversation put me right back in the halls of my school. Jess talks about rootedness in Jesus as the number one key to survival these last 16ish months. Listen in for an encouraging, inspiring conversation on faith and schools and leadership and Jesus.
