Podcast Highlights:

  • “They encouraged me to consider residency after I graduated. Just seeing the ways I was gifted and just the fruit inside of my life. So, again it was just really that investment and getting a taste of that in student leadership where we are kind of tasked with discipling and reaching out to other students who are a little bit younger than us. … Just that investment from individuals in the church, especially older women at our church.” (6:31)
  • “God was just so sovereign, because I had really no plans after undergraduate. I had a general idea. I majored in psychology. So, I was pretty available, which was another reason that there was really nothing stopping me from doing it [college residency] because I didn’t have really much of a plan after [graduating from college].” (7:31)
