Have you ever negotiated with God? I have. This is a short video telling you about my "obedience" or lack thereof to God.

Broken and shattered. That was me, but God took my broken pieces and is turning them into a beautiful masterpiece.

I was so excited to talk with my new friend Kim Hardy today. This episode dives deep into mental health and how to recognize the incorrect narratives we have for ourselves. She is an author and speaker passionate about giving women hope through Biblical truth. She seeks to inspire, renew, and restore hurting women so they can thrive and live joy-filled lives.
