The 95 Podcast: Conversations for Small-Church Pastors 95Network

Dana Russell had spent most of her adult life serving in ministry. However, a successful music ministry along with discipleship weekends that impacted thousands of young girls wasn't enough to heal a deep wound in her heart. The private pressure that she had been living under for decades eventually resulted in a very public extra marital affair. . . In a moment, her whole world was turned upside down.
Dana joins Dale on today's 95podcast to share how Jesus helped her trade the shadows of shame and rejection for His all encompassing shadow of peace. This is a raw and honest conversation on how the things we attempt to hide in the shadows are exposed to the light at some point in our lives.
