Stasi Eldredge, wife to John, mom of three boys, and Mia to 8 grandchildren joins us from the beauty of colorado with her radiant smile to expand on God’s design in a woman! She is a woman who is certain she is treasured by God and it’s contagious. You will feel it!! She describes the places of Gods heart that are reflected in a mother and even describes ways He “mothers us”. She touches on our own mothering and our response to the inevitable lack we all experience in one place or another. I left this conversation treasuring Jesus even more! Follow along with their work at… wild at heart ministries.

Julie Fowler is a mom of a beautiful daughter (now grown and launched into the world), wife to Paul, former educator, and head of You Are’s Prayer Room. She has a heart for kids, prayer, and loves Jesus more than anything. This practical and helpful conversation with Julie details her parenting journey as she mothered her daughter who is the complete opposite of her in almost every way. They are best friends today and Julie credits that to the wisdom God gave her through the years to encourage her daughter to be who God wanted her to be.
