In this interview, she recounts how her anxiety levels rose during the pandemic and what she implemented to move her throughout the day. As Christians, we often find ourselves constantly running and pouring out until we are totally empty. It is time for some daily self-care as the second greatest command of the bible tells us.

Ralph Estep, Jr.: My Business Is My Mission Field

When he turned age fifty, he felt empty inside. He had everything he needed and much of what he wanted. He had multiple titles and was considered a success by the business world, but none of it could brush away the emptiness. What was missing? He realized that his faith was not at the center of his life. He got to the core of who he was as a person, which resulted in the marriage of his business and Christian faith. He says that his business is his mission field, and his goal is to reach at least one person daily. Tune in to hear the story of Ralp Estep, Jr.

From agnostic to atheist to Christian, she finally found her truth, the one true God, and herself. Tune in to hear the story of Audrey Dutton.
