In Episode 58, Lauren chats with newly retired and affectionately named "mama Beth," who served both in higher education and in the military. Beth shares how training for military battles is parallel to training for life's battles, strategies that have helped her navigate tough seasons, and ways to connect with God in the midst of the struggle. Beth married later in life and shares how her long season of singleness brought her into a depth of intimacy with Jesus that she treasures and how we can make the most of single or lonely seasons in our lives. The episode ends with an encouragement over your identity and how specifically formed and fashioned you are by a God who loves you deeply. Get a cup of tea and a cozy blanket as "Mama Beth" encourages your heart and strengthens your spirit to enjoy this one big beautiful life you've been given.
