In today's episode, we had the chance to catch up with Amelia Quinn, Good Friend & Founder/President of BeLoved Atlanta.  

We talked through her favorite simple joys in life like vegetable gardening and tea drinking to building a community of rescue and restoration.  Beloved is a nonprofit organization that supports women who have lived through trafficking, prostitution, and addiction while giving them an opportunity of rebuilding their life one step at a time with God. 

What would life look like if we built community and walked through long term pain with one another? Amelia shares that she has seen and experienced goodness of God through the Beloved community. While being vulnerable about wanting to quit, she shares what it has been like to trust God and to continue walking forward with Him. Join us this week as we discuss how a biblical call can be life saving and life giving for more than yourself!

Today, we spent some time with L.A. Native, Shayley Combe. Not only has she led a thriving Children's Ministry for 10 years, but she continues to love hard like Jesus and pours her heart of gold into fostering children. 

Shayley shared about the special experience the last ten years have been in her life. God's hands have constantly steered her to extend his love for the children. With the influence of her grandparents, Shayley felt God's calling on her life to teach healthy attachment, expectations, and emotions that children should experience in a secure home. Our time with Shayley magnified the importance in meeting people where they are at like Jesus and shined light on awareness of foster care.
