She Lives Purposefully
As Christian women, sometimes we can feel lonely in our walk with Christ. Do you feel that way? Spoiler alert: it’s not true and this is the podcast to prove it. I’m Megan Edmonds, your new Christian friend who cheers you on in your walk with Christ because I believe God has given you this one life to know Him, love Him, and live for Him purposefully. Each week, we will chat about all different areas of life from a Jesus loving perspective - relationships, faith doubts, emotions, parenthood, health and hormones, anxiety, and more! I share my own experiences and practical ways to grow in our relationship with God. Join me every Thursday as we take this walk with Christ together!
