Season 2 Finale: Reflecting on the Encouragement That Transformed Our Lives

As we wrap up Season 2 of Living Transformed, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the incredible journey God has led us through this year. Our 2024 goal was to encourage women beyond the studio walls, and launching this podcast has been a beautiful way to extend that mission.

Has it been perfect? No. Have there been challenges? Absolutely. But through it all, God has been faithful, and because of you—our incredible listeners and subscribers—this dream of walking alongside women in the "how-to" of living a transformed life has become a reality.

Join us as we give God all the thanks and praise for this sweet season, and share some of our favorite takeaways from the past eight episodes.
