Author & DJ Cara Whitney, “Fields of Grace: Sharing Faith From the Horse Farm" Morning Cup of Faith
-
- Religion & Spirituality
Humorous and down-to-earth Author and DJ Cara Whitney "Fields of Grace: Sharing Faith From the Horse Farm" grew up on a cattle farm in Northern Wisconsin. After spending a decade as a radio personality in markets that included Las Vegas, she found herself in search of that simpler life everyone talks about. She soon discovered that there is no such thing as a simple life, but instead your best lived life is one that includes a relationship with Jesus Christ. Cara reflects, “I wasn’t always a believer, but I got saved. My relationship with the Lord changed my life, and I want others to know that they can have that peace too. They are forgiven; they don’t have to live in fear. I wrote things about my faith on social media and someone approached me about writing a book and incorporating horses.” Cara lives with her husband, Dan (“Larry the Cable Guy”) and two kids on a horse farm in Nebraska. Cara advises, “Marry a man who lives for Jesus. They’re the best kind." Cara shares charming yet powerful stories about how ordinary people can share their faith in extraordinary ways. Cara explains, “We don’t have saving power. We just make the introduction.” She passes on lessons from her amazing horses, cows and racally dogs such as how caring for baby calves teaches us the value of letting go and what a floppy eared dog can teach us about loving our neighbor. Cara laughs, “God has a sense of humor. We see it in all of the critters!”
