About this episode

Tennessee’s First Lady Maria Lee and Brooke Taylor share their personal journeys of faith and resilience, emphasizing the importance of showing up in our weaknesses.

What starts as a single “yes” can influence a lifetime. In this episode, we speak with Tennessee’s First Lady Maria Lee , who shares how a short summer of ministry in Nashville turned the trajectory of her life—from teaching in a classroom to serving alongside her husband in public life—and taught her that true impact often comes from simply showing up and seeing others.  Speaker and radio personality Brooke Taylor ’s story takes a different turn when a sudden stroke changes everything, forcing her to relearn how to live and let go of perfection, only to discover that God could use her brokenness to reach people in a deeper, more meaningful way. Together, their stories reveal a powerful truth—that even in the most unplanned moments, God is guiding us with compassion toward connection.  Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned : Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Anita Renfroe Upcoming interview: Trey Tucker Jesus Listens for Moms Maria Lee Bill Lee Christ Presbyterian Academy My Utmost for His Highest   COVID   Covenant school shooting Tennessee Serves Project Brooke Taylor…
