Earlier this year, I stumbled upon a devotional called Big Idea Food. I had never really seen anything like it. It was created for dreamers, doers, side hustlers, anyone with a goal who wants to accomplish it with support from the word of God.
Marlena does such a great job of covering the things we need to get us through the rough patches. I knew I had to have her on the show because what she shares in her devotional is fuel for your purpose.
