Summary

Gals, we are so excited to share this week’s episode with you. We sat down with the incredible, beautiful Ginny Owens for a conversation on mission and how to carry hope even when our story turns out differently than we hoped.

You probably know Ginny already as she is a woman on mission, using even her brokenness to tell of God’s glory. She’s a singer, songwriter, author, teacher, and advocate. She’s had three albums chart on Billboard, and she’s performed in diverse spaces like the White House, the SUndance Film Festival, and the National Day of Prayer. Her newest book, Singing in the Dark: Finding Hope in the Songs of Scripture, released this May, and you have got to check it out - it tells the story of her life and how God’s word both informs and changes our own lives. Be sure to grab a copy!

Listen in, and be encouraged. God is using your story. As Ginny says, “we don’t get to choose our circumstances, but we do get to choose the story that our life tells.” Let it be, God.
