Summary
Gwen Smith is a popular conference speaker, author, worship leader, podcaster and volleyball enthusiast who lives in sunny North Carolina and has been married to her hunky college honey, Brad, for 25 years. They are tired parents to three tall, competitive-sport-playing young people who keep them on their toes and on their knees. Her online friends meet at GwenSmith.net where she helps women know and trust God more. Her podcast, GRACEOLOGY with Gwen Smith, has fun, faith-focused, grace-filled interview-style conversations with practical tips and honest discussions to encourage women in meaningful ways to live out and lean on the grace of Jesus in the midst of cluttered, messy days. Gwen speaks, leads worship, and eats potato chips at women’s events everywhere, and she is a co-founder of the conference and devotional ministry Girlfriends in God.
Connect with Gwen on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter where she hangs out as @GwenSmithMusic.
Mentioned in Podcast
If we want to have a FAITH BEYOND our FEELINGS, FEARs, and FAILURES we need to stand firm when our emotions threaten to overwhelm us and courageously believe God for big things. We need to be women who KNEEEL.
I came up with this simple ACRONYM to help us remember how to stand firm in faith when our knees knock:
K – Know Him
N – Notify: My Heart, My Enemy & My Girlfriends
E – Express the Mess
E – Exchange My Will For God’s Will
E – Expand My Heart In Worship
L – Learn the Word
