This week on Special Episode #4 of the Christmas Break series, I speak with Arrica Hess, who is a follower of Jesus Christ, a pastor’s wife, a women's ministry leader, and a homeschooling mom of four kids ages 18, 17, 14, and 10. Ever since she had her second child, she has been a stay-at-home mom. Through raising and observing her children, God has used them to teach her valuable lessons about her relationship as a child to Him as her Heavenly Father. Arrica shares this and more on her blog, A Child Shall Lead Them. You won’t want to miss this inspiring episode!

Special episode 3 is this week. I speak with fellow Prudent woman Retreat speaker Tracy Harper who is a Christian author and speaker with more than twenty years of experience mentoring young adults through campus ministry. Her journey—from the East Coast to Hawaii—has taken her across the country and into countless conversations with young women wrestling with faith, identity, and emotional overwhelm. She holds a degree in Secondary Education/English from Towson University and completed Cru’s Institute of Biblical Studies. Now based in Maryland with her husband and three teen daughters, Tracy enjoys life by the water, a good book, and a great cup of coffee. Through her writing and speaking, she helps women let go of approval, achievement, and appearance-based worth, so they can rest secure in who God says they are and be led by Him.
