Windows on the Way is a storytelling podcast about the grace, ache, humor, and hidden meaning tucked inside ordinary life. Writer, pastor, and soul-care companion Jay Simmons tells true stories about relationships, grief, faith, foolishness, beauty, loss, and the strange ways grace sometimes appears where we least expect it.
One story each week. A few minutes to look more closely, see life more deeply, and walk it more faithfully.
Children grow up, and the little girls who once thought Daddy could fix almost anything eventually discover that there are things Daddy cannot fix. And sometimes Daddy is the thing that needs fixing.
