Julie’s vulnerability helps us understand she’s been where we’ve been. Looking at the emotions we experience from time to time – guilt, shame, fear, lack of purpose – through a biblical filter always provides greater peace and clarity. Julie guides us to do just that: to reflect on our situations in light of God’s truth – and what a perfect time in history to have this as a resource!” Lisa T. Grimes, Managing Director, Habergeon LLC, Board Chair, Knowing God Ministries, Co-author, Remember Who YOU Are and 25 Days of Christmas for Your Heart and Home. “Julie has such a beautiful way of talking real life issues, dignifying those issues and ultimately bringing them into Biblical wisdom.
