Raw, Real and Ridiculously Right on

Many times in Christian circles, “expectations” of you as a Christian can trump the ability to be real, transparent and brutally honest. This is a tragedy. Only reality moves the needle, REALLY moves the needle, that brings honest-to-God hope.
Jennifer’s story reminds me of the Lord’s exhortation to the people He loves: “Be strong and courageous.”
In her brutal honesty and courageous story telling, she achieves what few would guess if they judged it by her title alone. No spoiler alert here. Why? Because it’s worth listening to, beginning to end.
Thank you Jennifer, for moving the needle.

Where is episode 10 part 2.

Great podcast. It’s like listening to an audio book, not that I ever have but I imagine this is what it would be like.

Weaving Influence ,

Entertaining and heartbreaking

I love Jennifer’s honest confessions, her masterful storytelling, her resilient faith, and her artful suspense building. Helpful for both cheaters and fighters. Music adds such unique originality!
