121. Navigating life’s multifaceted callings – Meredith Boggs
We are created in the image of a multifaceted God. So why do we think our majestic God would make us any different? To believe that there are only one or two dimensions to us or the callings He may place on our lives is a little silly. We’re built for many “such a time as this” moments with the numerous hats we wear. Meredith Boggs is an author, mom, critical care transport nurse, and sexual assault forensic nurse examiner. She is a multifaceted soul who wears numerous hats with grace. When thinking about interviewing Meredith, I could have gone in many directions, but the most interesting Holy Spirit-led thought was for Meredith to share her intriguing roles in life and how faith is woven into every aspect of her life. From being a devoted mom to navigating the intricate world of forensic nursing, her faith serves as a guiding light in it all. So, join Meredith and me as we uncover the beauty of faith interwoven in every role we embody, discover how we can maintain harmony amidst life's varied callings, and how to have your faith influence all you do.
