Grace Jones {Special Episode}
On this Mother’s Day week, we recognize at DWITW that motherhood is not always an easy topic for our listeners. So, we have a special guest with us today, Grace Jones, who gives us an inside look into her own difficult road to motherhood, and also shares of God’s faithfulness in the journey. This episode is a sneak peak into the format of our next season, Timelapse, releasing this Fall. In this upcoming season, we will track the work of God within a person’s life by interviewing them twice over a significant period of time. For this special episode, you will hear two interviews with Grace, which were taken six months apart. You will also hear how God ministered to Grace personally throughout the grief of infertility and miscarriage, how the body of Christ can love those in the midst of these struggles, and of course, how God encouraged Grace through His Word.
Grace wants to live in a world where everyone gets to live everyday with a positive attitude, full of smiles, and infectious laughter! When she's not working in the marketing department at Dayton Children's Hospital you can find her hanging with her hubby and dog or having as many friends as possible over to her house for any occasion possible!
Her favorite Scripture is Proverbs 3:5-6, ESV: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
