Erica has brought Brooklyn back, a student at Edmonds Woodway High, to talk more about how she is actively sharing her faith in Christ at school, and her efforts to share Jesus with other kids who come to the Warriors for Christ Club. She hosts weekly pizza parties from donations that have been given, and she and others share their faith and pray. She is an incredible young woman and we're inspired by how she boldly walks through life in her faith.

Lisa Holt is basically running a detective agency for dogs!

Author Stacy Reaoch and Erica are spending time today learning how to view ourselves a little differently. Stacy's book, "Beautiful Freedom" stresses the importance of valuing our bodies as gifts from God, advocating for self-acceptance, physical fitness, healthy eating, and serving others. It's about learning to find fulfillment in Jesus rather than our appearance or diet, embracing aging positively, and appreciating food as a divine gift. We can choose to see our bodies as tools for honoring God.

It's a great convo! Click PLAY to listen in.

Sherri and Sarah talk about being on a mission to sprinkle faith with a big dose of laughter and joy for Christian women at the upcoming Snacks & Good Company LIVE Women's Event.

Together, they share how God sees the beauty in imperfection, aiming to spread love and happiness among women through events that mix humor with heartfelt messages.
