What if the strongest bonds aren't just formed in marriage, but in the shared journey of faith and friendship? Join us on the More Faith, More Life Podcast as I, Kathy Gray, along with my dear friend Heather Eschenbaum, explore this intriguing idea.

What does it mean to be called to greatness by history itself? Join Kathy and me as we unravel how historical figures like Winston Churchill and Queen Esther became pivotal forces in their eras. Explore how the current historical landscape offers profound opportunities for us all to step into roles as doers of the word, embracing challenges that shape us into history makers. We discuss the possibility that even those who see themselves as ordinary can rise to prominence by embracing the unique challenges of our time.
Can laws truly change the human heart, or do they only shape our actions? In this eye-opening segment, Kathy and I dissect the complex relationship between legislation, personal transformation, and the church’s vital role during times of societal transition.
