On episode fifty-eight of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I spoke with Meredith Clemmens about sharing the faith.

Biography:
Growing up in South Carolina as the youngest-of-four, Meredith was raised deeply in the catholic faith while also gaining much from the southern traditions of sincere hospitality, knowledge of scripture, and college football (#gotigers). She's frequently convicted by the Holy Spirit's invitation to share Christ's goodness through some combination of her halfway southern/smiley and obnoxiously professional accents. Now working as a systems engineer in the DMV (DC/MD/VA) area, Meredith loves the nebulous world of consulting and the opportunities it provides to strengthen unity between business and IT folks. With the Spirit's guidance, Meredith often finds herself chatting with colleagues at the office or strangers at a party on the theology of suffering, the necessity of virtue, and the beauty of Argentine Spanish. She loves climbing trees, has a heart for prison ministry, and gets super annoyed by the Devil's absurd mission to steal away the infinite peace and joy offered to each of us by the Creator of the Universe who loves us so much.
