S1E51: Serving in Love and Loving to Serve - with Pastor Jean Overman
Today’s episode truly embodies the heart of the Show Me the Way podcast. What began as a space to share my son’s journey and the perspective he has given my husband, our older son, and me has grown into a platform where anyone can share their challenges, pivots, lessons, and growth.
This week’s guest is Pastor Jean Overman. As I often say, when you know, like, and trust someone, the best connections come through referrals—and that’s exactly how Jean and I met. A networking partner suggested we connect, and while I wasn’t sure where our conversation would lead, it blossomed into something truly beautiful.
Jean so eloquently shares her life story—from growing up in a large family, raising sons, and building a long career, to navigating retirement, the loss of her husband, becoming a grandmother, facing health challenges, and ultimately following her calling into ministry.
Pastor Jean is remarkable. She radiates joy, faith, and deep gratitude for every day and every opportunity to serve. This conversation felt like a true “divine appointment,” and I can’t wait for you to hear Jean’s story and experience the love she so effortlessly exudes.
