Do you ever feel that life is more challenging than it used to be, and wonder why? Our guest, Brenda Yoder, offers some age-old wisdom to help bring us back to the basics of an uncomplicated life.
Following the Covid-19 pandemic, Brenda noticed how God used the many threads of her home, career and Airbnb to weave together the pages of a book she recently published called Uncomplicated, Simple Secrets For A Compelling Life. Brenda shares some of her journey and practical tips to live more simply so we can model and teach this to the next generation!
