Today's guest, Linda Goldfarb, is both a Bible nerd and a joy-filled story teller. She knows this beautiful combination of interests and abilities is God's doing.

The tough challenges Linda's faced throughout her life were not wasted as God intentionally used them to equip and empower her to write vbooks, to speak messages that encourage believers, to host a podcast that provides tools for authors and speakers, and to offer Christian coaching to help believers reach their goals.
