S6 - Ep3 - The Foundations Of Faith & Family Through The Ups And Downs Of Life - Jody
Manage episode 285045623 series 2674386
The theme of Jesus and family permeates Jody’s life. Growing up in a blended family as the youngest of 8 children whose ages spanned 20 years, Jody was blessed to have her sister share the gospel with her at age 5. As she grew up, she was known as a good church girl who resisted peer pressure and eventually brought her (now ex) husband to Christ. Although her ex-husband struggled with addictions while she struggled with pride over a “failing” marriage, she remains amiable with him as a way to exemplify the character of Jesus to their 4 children. Jody has been able to cultivate the love of Jesus within her children, as well as a culture of open communication - which has proven to be both rewarding and challenging during the American political climate and a pandemic which has created job instability for her. The central themes of family & faith remain constant for Jody as she now cares for her mother who has left a nursing home and is investigating her own health issues in the midst of the pandemic. In spite of the circumstances swirling around her, Jody’s grounded faith enables her to know who is in control and how the story ends, which is an inspiring and refreshing perspective for so many of us.
