This week I have a very special guest joining me, Sydney Jones, Sydney had two events at 13 years old that drastically improved her faith and shaped her into the person she is today. She has gone on to accomplish amazing things that would not have been possible without her leaning into her faith and trusting God’s plan for her. In the midst of Tragedy Sydney and her family ran toward their faith rather than away to see what was possible and as Sydney will talk about it was the best decision they ever made!

I can’t believe it is already episode 5, I am so humbled by the support I have received already and can’t thank y’all enough for listening!! It truly has had a greater impact in 5 weeks than I have expected and I know great things are coming! This week is all about listening, being a great listener is hard. Do you listen to share or do you listen to learn? If we are open to listening we can learn something from every person we come across, but what does that entail? In this episode you’ll hear two stories where I wasn't initially open to listening but was so thankful I did. You’ll also learn how to be a better listener and then I want to encourage you to practice it this week!
