On this episode of the By His Grace Podcast, I interview Jodie Berndt. Jodie is a wife, mom, and author who is passionate about teaching women to pray through the scriptures. In this episode, Jodie and I discussed her newest book, talked about strategies for consistently abiding in God’s love, and the importance and necessity of surrender in the lives of believers today.
