In this episode, we’re at the Southern Baptist Convention talking with Donna Gaines! We loved this conversation with Donna as she shares her heart for serving her community and emphasizes the significance of biblical literacy and having a deeper prayer life. She highlights the stories of women in the Bible, such as Eve and Huldah, and how they can encourage us in our own Christian walk.
