Kristen Hogrefe Parnell: The Importance of Controlling How We Respond to Our Circumstances

My guest this week is Kristen Hogrefe Parnell. We’re talking about the importance of controlling how we respond to our circumstances, even though we cannot control the circumstances themselves. We also talk about waiting on God for what we’re longing for and keeping our eyes focused on who Jesus is and what he’s already done in our lives.

Kristen writes suspenseful fiction from a faith perspective for women and young adults. She also shares her own suspense story involving her now husband. I enjoyed our conversation so much, and I know you will love Kristen’s perspective on faith and how she applies it in her stories.

I know what Kristen shares will encourage, inspire, and challenge you, so listen in while I have a chat with Kristen Hogrefe Parnell.
