Emma Hope Jacobs, age 9

In this episode, I chat with my nine-year-old sister, Emma Hope Jacobs. We cover three things that matter most to her, talk about vacations, and share insights.

Eyes on Inner Peace

In this episode, I sit down with my grandfather, Dean Jacobs, affectionately known as Papa Dean, a man of deep faith and wisdom. Having been widowed twice and blessed with 8 children and numerous grandchildren, Papa Dean shares how his unwavering commitment to his identity as a disciple of Christ has shaped both his professional life and his role within our family. We dive into his experiences, exploring the profound impact of religion on his journey and how it has guided his actions as a father, husband, and individual. He also offers valuable insights on finding inner peace in today’s turbulent world, grounded in his spiritual beliefs.
