Permission to Pause with Pat Layton
Join Author and Speaker, Pat Layton for a few minutes of hush in the middle of your hustle.
As a busy wife, mom, grandmother and international ministry leader, Pat understands how easy it is to get wrapped up in the messy of the day-to-day and miss the part that matters most. Our faith. Our rest. Our hope.
Let's protect a quiet pause to acknowledge and enjoy the presence of the very one who holds it all together.
This is a 10-15 minute devotional style podcast for women who love Jesus but struggle to find time to get away with Him.
