Exploring Faith

In this podcast interview, I share my journey of faith, the evolution of my writing passion, and the inspiration behind my new children's book, "The Dreamer." I discuss the importance of raising households that serve the Lord, the impact of cross-cultural experiences on my worldview, and how prayer can connect families to global missions. I emphasize the need for resources that cultivate a biblical worldview in children and the beauty of different cultures, all while encouraging parents to take small, intentional steps in nurturing their children's faith.
