270. Saying Yes to God's Call pt. 2 (with Grace Heinrich)
Grace Heinrich was raised in the town where Jesus was born...kinda. Same name. Growing up in Bethlehem, PA, Grace would sense at a young age that God was calling her to bring the news of Jesus across the world. She said "that's crazy"... But she kept thinking about it... And in this episode she sits down with our mutual friend Jill and I to talk about her time making pottery and sharing Jesus in Romania.
