We named our podcast after the concept of a 'steel magnolia' which is a southern term for someone that has walked through great adversity with grace. So, we would like to introduce a Steel Magnolia we love: Glenda Sutton. 

Glenda Sutton and her husband run Family Affair Ministries here in Nashville, TN. We are excited to occasionally create more episodes like this to introduce even more magnolias to y'all!
