Summary

Many women in the Church across the globe serve in Church Communications callings, or volunteer positions, building key relationships and performing bridge-building outreach to government, academic, and interfaith leaders and organizations in their communities. In this episode, we talk with Julia Fellows from Alabama, U.S.A., who serves as the Church Communications Director for the North America Southeast Area. Julia shares how she saw the Lord prepare her for this demanding calling, and how women can see and feel the Lord’s love and guiding hand in their lives. She shares inspiring examples of Church outreach throughout the southern United States, including to the Black and LGBTQ communities, and shares how Church members everywhere can better share the love of the Lord in their own communities.
