Show Notes

In this heartfelt episode of the Faith Conversations Podcast, Jessica Cabrera interviews her mother, Jan Smith, about her journey from growing up in church, to drifting away from God, and ultimately rediscovering a personal relationship with Jesus.

Jan shares how, even during seasons when she was not living for God, she could still see His protection and guidance in her life.

A life-changing Walk to Emmaus retreat helped open her eyes to the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus, and over time, Jan grew in faith through mentorship, prayer, and daily friendship with God.

This episode highlights the power of spiritual mentorship, the beauty of taking baby steps in faith, and the reality that we never know who may be impacted by the way we live out our relationship with God.
