You surrendered to Jesus when you were 38 years old. Can you talk about how that came to be?

What type of miracles or impact have you seen since Love Out Loud contributed to Hearts for Moms?
Single moms have such incredible strength, and I believe it’s the kind of fire that can change the world. Can you explain how your programs encourage that kind of transformation?
