Summary

Friends, for a conversation on embracing your story and all its dirty parts, we could think of no better gal than our friend, Mary. In this episode, we’re diving into how to push past the shame of your story to embrace the wisdom gained and the strength of God found right there. God’s power is made perfect in our weakness, and that means we can fully embrace our stories, amen?

Mary Marantz is a Yale Law School graduate and the first in her immediate family to go to college. Her newest book, Dirt, is about growing up in West Virginia, and you are absolutely going to want to grab a copy.

We pray this episode equips and encourages you to tell your story, no matter how messy. God is mighty in you, and He’s using it all for the good of others and the glory of Himself.
