Summary

Barbara Masoner was Sarah’s mentor during her early married years and had an immense impact on her. Barbara loves the Lord and she loves coming alongside women and pointing them to the truth. Who has mentored you? Who are you mentoring? How can you make the most of “mentoring moments”? These are the types of questions that will be sparked as you listen to Barbara share what she’s learned throughout her life.

  • When you were 7 years old how did your family heat your home? 
  • What person in your real life growing up influenced you in a way that makes you who you are today? (Barbara asked it this way: Who was the source of human warmth for you as a child?)

Our guest today is Barbara Masoner. And I met Barbara when I was probably 19. And I just started dating my husband, John. And John was being mentored by Barbara's husband, David.
