Great episode! Thanks Kat! Been thinking about this all day!
So glad you liked it Heather!
1. We know the butler is Alfred from Larryboy and Veggie tales 🙂
2. Wow, I needed this. I was just talking with my therapists about how I KNOW that the purpose of life is to know God not do for God but all my ministry has stopped and I feel I am supposed to wait and rest for a while and it is so hard! Great to hear this.
3. It was great to get to hear the whole God Day song, that was a fun surprise.
Keep up the great work!
1. Smart! Thanks for clarifying. 🙂 Now the theme song is stuck in my head.
2. So glad it encouraged you.
3. Glad you liked it! Such a great song…
Oh, man, I cried through much of this episode. I was all alone, cleaning toilets and thinking that I would just listen for some simple Mom encouragement, but instead God spoke directly to my heart. Hearing Jenny’s honest heart, just cracked my strong “I’ll push through it” attitude. My heart is raw with disappointment. It’s time to grieve these things, and ask God to teach me to embrace the road he has put me on.
Thanks!
Listened to half of the episode on my way to work and can’t wait to go home to finish it! I listen to “Stories” all the time when I need to relax and get some peace. “This Little Light of Mine” is one of the songs I sing to my baby at bedtime. 🙂 Thanks Jenny for sharing your story and thank you Kat for your heart to inspire moms! xoxo
After a few really crazy months of life, my husband gave me the afternoon off. I was able to clean (without interruption!) and catch up on your podcast. It was truly totally refreshing for me to listen to Jenny’s story and be able to relate 1000% — although, without so many dramatic events. I can’t wait to read her book. Thanks for all you do, Kat!
