This week, I speak with Beth Read, a native of the Chicago suburbs whose roots now run deep in Grand Rapids, MI. She lives there with her husband, Kevin, of 19 years, their 4 kids, ages 13, 11, 8, and 6, and their 2 dogs Cookie and Jasmine. Beth's career as a nurse practitioner unexpectedly turned into a gig as a stay-at-home mom after the birth of their first child. She owns HeartWriters, a Christian company with a mission to "help grownups raise kids who live and love like Jesus." In this podcast, Beth will share how God led her down a long, winding path to discover her true identity and led to the birth of HeartWriters' first product, Fruit of the Family. We look from her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life. You won’t want to miss this inspiring episode!
