Welcome to the Journey Women Podcast. I'm your host, Hunter Beelis.

Life's a journey we were never meant to walk alone. We all need friends along the way.

On the Journey Women Podcast, we'll chat with mentors about gracefully navigating the

It is such a joy to have her talking with Hunter on today's episode. Her deep abiding

trust in Christ overflows as you'll see in this conversation and as you can see from

her decades-long life of faithfulness. If you don't know her, Johnny is the founder and
