Ruth, I stumbled upon your podcast. I’ve heard about you and gracelaced for years, I even have your book foundations. Yet I’ve never read or listened to what you had to say. I did today to your summer series with gentleness and it spoke to me. Christ spoke to me through you. Thank you so much. I always perceived you as gentle and to see you admit the other attributes that would describe yourself as, I related to so much!! (Also as boy mom, only of 3 though😉) Thank you for your honesty. I can’t stop listening- you’re pointing me to Christ. Thank you so much.
So Refreshing
