In reflection on their conversation with Jean Daly, Sarah and Erin share about how we can be quick to judge others until we're in relationship with them, but we should instead accept God's gift of repentance and be curious about their stories.

Jean Daly is passionate about helping children in need through foster care and equine-assisted learning. Today, we learn about how God called Jean to Himself, about her view of femininity growing up, and how she and her husband, Jim, became involved in foster care. Jean's love for others will leave you inspired.

Emily Long felt called to action in her local public school when she noticed that the dress code had been changed. While that didn't seem like an issue at first, she felt compelled to ask questions of the school board and discovered that several things needed to be addressed around issues of gender and that others were concerned, too. Even though it cost her greatly, Emily showed great courage in taking a stand and inspires us to rise to the occasions God puts before us.
