The Mom Next Door: Stories of Faith

Are you a musical family? Considering an instrument for your child? Today Jennifer Galicinski shares from her experience of being a mom of 10 musicians. We chat about beginning music, singing together, listening to music, practice, sacrifice and investing in not only ministry but in our children's futures. Your family may not be hitting the road or traveling internationally but Jennifer's testimony of raising musicians will be an encouragement to you. Wherever God has called you, work unto the glory of He who sent you. If you would like to e-mail Jennifer directly, [email protected]

Jill's journey of life in the church gives a good perspective of how we can be authentic in our walk and our role in the body of Christ. If you are a leader or the wife of a leader in the church I think this will be blessing to you. If you desire to encourage ministry women, this will open your eyes to ways that you can speak words of life into them.
