Welcome back to a new line-up of incredible women with inspiring stories to start of the 2024 year. I am thrilled to showcase these phenomenal women this year. To start off the new season if you’d like, I had the opportunity to speak with Jennifer Blehm.
Jennifer shares her journey from aspiring missionary to motherhood and the challenges she faced along the way. She discusses the closed door of missionary work, the emotional impact of pregnancy loss, and the traumatic experience of her son's birth. Through these experiences, Jennifer found a new sense of purpose and created a resource to help parents teach their children about Jesus and the Bible. Jennifer Blehm shares her journey of discovering her gift and passion for apologetics and how it led her to create the Kitchen Table Apologetics platform. She explains the importance of equipping parents to defend their faith and engage in deep conversations with their children. Jennifer also discusses her upcoming eBook: '10 Days to Transformation,' which provides an interactive study for families to strengthen their understanding of God and the Bible. Take a listen as you will love this episode with my guest, Jennifer Blehm.
