Life happens—the good, the bad, and the ugly. How does one answer the demands of life without losing themselves in the process? LaQuinta Pollard found that a loving community, honesty with herself, and transparency with others are the things that are helping her to lean more into Christ and to live by the beat of His drum and not that of someone else.

Highlights:

• Life is a daily unveiling
• What happens when life overwhelms you and throws you off your game?
• Conditioning people with your “yes”
• Finding the courage to establish balance and boundaries
• “I’m struggling. Father, show me the good in all things.” (Romans 8:28)
• Celebrating resilience over strength
• Words of Wisdom: “Life is meant to be lived in relationship. Embrace it as it is.”

Meet Dr. Darlene Ephriam:

Married 47 years to Minister Ray Ephriam, Dr. E and her husband are ministers at Corinth Missionary Baptist Church in Austin, Texas. The two are also founders of Temple Restoration Ministries, a women’s day retreat. Dr. E loves sharing with others how God restored her while in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility more than three decades ago. It was there that a young counselor led her to Christ, and from that point on she promised the Lord that she would do His work.
