MOMENT'em FOCUS

"Even the mess-ups were necessary to get me where I am today". This episode is a continuation of our PODCLASS series, and today's guest is Shaun Quarterman. This candid conversation is about the invitation to make the commitment to allow God to guide your heart and mind through the twists and turns in life.

My relationship with Rachel goes back to our earlier years of Zumba and inviting God into that space and letting Him help us lead our Classes well. She and I met in a Facebook group that allowed us to exchange music and choreography and music translations so that we could uphold the integrity of our classes, our character and the well-being of every body that walked in the room.  In this episode we get to look inside the journey that took Rachel from the dance floor to the pulpit and all the beautiful places in between. Lean in friend, I am sure you'll find something relatable. 

Part of the As For Me Podclass series, this interview was recorded in 2020 and well, that year deemed to be some of the greatest lessons, losses and leadership opportunities most of us never would've planned to experience. Listen as Adrienne describes "hearing this is giving me life". Sometimes we need to hear our own words spoken back to us. I pray this blesses you as it did each of us then, and even more now. Stay tuned for more episodes and an opportunity to join the online community discussion and workshop series!
