In this reflective episode, I take a moment to revisit the profound insights and lessons shared by various guests from around the world. From the power of hope and the strength of community to the unwavering belief in a higher purpose, I delve deeper into the wisdom imparted by my guests, drawing connections to our own lives and shared experiences.
I highlight four significant conversations:
1. Angela Guy discusses the essence of a blessed life, emphasizing the importance of surrendering to God and the transformative power of faith.
2. May Alirad shares her harrowing experience of sexual assault and the loss of her child, and how she found hope and healing through faith and therapy.
3. Margaret Gathanu reflects on the faithfulness of God amidst her journey with endometriosis and the joy of motherhood.
4. A heartfelt memorial for Pastor Wamary, celebrating his life and unwavering faith even in the face of illness.
There is so much to glean from the conversations I have had so far and I help you do just that in this episode. I invite you to find a quiet corner, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and join me on this introspective journey.
