I have been an admirer of Jill’s since she was so kind to visit privately with me at a small conference in 2017 and then in follow-up conversations after. I was thrilled when she launched her podcast and have been a consistent fan since the very first episode. She covers a wide variety of topics that resonate with mature women, and I can’t begin to count how many episodes I have shared with friends and family throughout these past four years.
Hi Kari! I’m so glad God connected us so many years ago. Thank you for sharing podcast episodes with others!
Congrats on your 4th anniversary and 200th episode! I’m so grateful that the Lord orchestrated the events to you launching this podcast. And thank you for your love for Him and for serving the body of Christ.
Your testimony of your painful journey and truthful transparency of are wonderful examples of Matthew 16:25- “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.” And also of Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
I have found many podcasts to be a waste of time, or borderline. But yours have been God honoring and interesting and helpful. May the Lord continue to make His face to shine on you, lead you in the paths of life everlasting, and bless your desires for His kingdom.
Thank you so much Amy! I’m so glad to hear that you’ve found the podcast to have great value. That means a lot to us!
