Ep 98 // Why Should Christians Ask God for a Word of the Year? Insights with Jenny Fulford

In today's episode, we have Jenny Fulford, the innovative mind behind "Name Your Year: A Prayerful Word of the Year Companion Journal." Together with our host Megan Nilsen, we'll explore Jenny's journey from a non-entrepreneurial background to launching a stationery and journal business inspired by a calling from God.

Jenny shares her mission to help Christians hear God's voice more clearly and engage in spiritual growth through her thoughtfully designed journal. We'll delve into the significance of choosing a "word of the year," the role of intention in goal-setting, and the impact of anchoring one's spiritual journey in scripture. Our conversation also touches on Jenny's personal experiences with healing prayer and the power of community in overcoming life's challenges.
