S4 E1 Picking Up the Pieces

Shownotes

After any significant life event, we are often left with so much to reflect on and are often left with feelings of loneliness and emptiness. Sometimes the thought of moving forward is too much for us to handle. What can we do when we are forced to start over? How can we begin to pick up the pieces of brokenness that we feel so that we can begin again?

Join Andrea and Jennifer in this first episode of 2025 as they discuss these questions and share the connections they have discovered along the way. They also share their word for 2024 and how God revealed each of their words to them.
