 “When you talk with God on a daily basis, He’ll teach you how to cope with life’s stresses, life’s strains. And He’ll help you – because the Scriptures also say: ‘Casting all of…our cares upon him because he cares for us.’ He wants us to talk to him.”  - Dr. Connie Ware 

From her beginning as the only female in her high school FFA class to her role today as an Innovation Specialist for BASF, a love for agriculture and a love for the Lord define Dr. Connie Ware’s life. 

Full of wisdom and practical insight, this episode is one you will want to share with others.
