Intricate Faith Webs
In this heartfelt episode, Kelly reconnects with Erica Dvorak, founder of Faith & Gather, to explore the intersection of faith, motherhood, and entrepreneurship. The two reminisce about their first meeting through the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce and how life’s unexpected connections reveal God’s intricate web.
Erica shares how her faith, instilled at age six, waned during her young adulthood but later became the foundation of her life and career. Her entrepreneurial journey began during maternity leave when the overwork of corporate life spurred her to explore new options. A turning point came after turning down a high-profile Silicon Valley role, leading her to discover her true calling.
Key moments in Erica’s journey include leaving her corporate role after the birth of her first child, joining a startup, and eventually launching Faith & Gather. These experiences solidified her mission of pairing faith with the pursuit of dreams.
Erica reflects on the challenges of entrepreneurship, motherhood, and balancing time with family. She opens up about the mental toll of launching a business, her Type A tendencies, and how God “refined” her heart and mind to align her work with His purpose.
Her advice? Trust God, live with purpose, and spend your time wisely with those who matter most.
