Molly Grollimund: Nothing is wasted, and every voice matters

Some stories stay with you long after you hear them—not because they’re loud, but because they speak to the quiet places of the heart. This week’s episode features one of those stories. Meet Molly Grollimund: a homeschooling mom of four, a gala auctioneer, a former personal trainer, and wife to a pilot. Her days are full and her roles are many, but woven through all of it is a thread of purpose she never expected—one that led her into the sacred work of honoring life. Molly serves with He Knows Your Name, a ministry committed to giving abandoned and unclaimed babies a name, a burial, and dignity. It’s work most people never imagine exists—and yet once you hear about it, you can’t forget it. In our conversation, Molly shares: * How nothing is wasted * What it feels like to stand in the gap for lives the world overlooks * The emotional weight—and privilege—of saying “yes” to hard but holy work * The reminder that God sees every life, even the ones the world never knew This episode is tender, raw, and deeply moving. It reminds us that purpose isn’t always glamorous—it’s often quiet, hidden, and profoundly sacred. Join us for a conversation that will challenge your perspective, strengthen your faith, and soften your heart. Because every life matters. Every name matters. And God never forgets the ones we don’t see. Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2525960/fan_mail/new]
