29 - Building Community Through Networking (and Coffee): Meet Jac and Jess of St. John’s BFF
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Jac and Jess didn’t set out to just host events—they set out to build community. In this episode, Tiffany and Donna chat with the founders of St. John’s BFF about how their group came to life, the heart behind their gatherings, and the faith that continues to guide their mission. From supporting local organizations like Isaiah House to collaborating with other women-led businesses, their story is one of intention, generosity, and purpose.
Just like Jac and Jess, Tiffany and Donna believe there’s room for everyone at the table. Bond and Beyond Network and St. John’s BFF may be separate groups, but they’re built on the same belief: collaboration over competition always wins.
And if you listen in, you’ll also find out which of us were team Barbies, who loved their baby dolls, and who’s been loyal to stuffed animals since day one—can you guess who’s who?
Check out all things St John's BFFs!
