On today’s episode, I’ll be speaking with this incredible mama, Stephanie Thompson. This past October at our Women’s 1-Day Conference, I asked some women to immerse themselves in the story of a woman from the Gospels who encountered Jesus and share what they learned. Stephanie chose the woman with 2 coins. It's a more obscure story, but one that has changed her perspective profoundly. Ladies, what ache in your heart have you spent days, months, or years crying out to Jesus about? Stephanie wants to tell you how the Good Father loves you deeply, restores & redeems ALL things, & invites you to lay everything at His feet, expecting He will come through in miraculous ways. Because the women who attended shared how powerful all these messages were, I wanted to record them and share them with all of you.

Because the women who attended shared how powerful all these messages were, I wanted to record them and share them with all of you.

I want to ask them about their own spiritual journey and have them give an overview of their discipline that connects model. So listen in for practical wisdom that might just change your life too!
