In today’s episode, I have a powerful conversation with Amanda Hayhurst where we explore topics such as shame, identity, and the importance of community and discipleship. We discuss the impact of fatherhood on identity, and the need for outreach to women in need. The conversation emphasizes the power of encouragement, the significance of building relationships, and the journey of faith filled with twists and turns. We touch the importance of authentic community, how to build relationships in unlikely places, the power of our testimonies, and the significance of feeling pain to find God in difficult times.
