BUILDING STRONG HOMES podcast
HOST: CAROL ROPER
Today’s guest is the author of one of my favorite books, An Intentional Life: A Life-Giving Invitation to Uncover Your Passions and Unlock Your Purpose. I was so excited when Kara Stott quickly agreed to be on the podcast, and we became fast friends. She’s passionate about connecting women and helping them grow in their relationship with the Lord, understand their calling, and step out into the things God has asked them to do. But after working so hard building up her Pursuit of Ministry, God called her to lay it all down at what looked like the pinnacle of her success. Through that act of obedience, she began to understand what the really important things in life are. This book talks about her journey to live an intentional life that honors God, family, church, community, and yourself.
One of my favorite observations she talks about in this episode is when she says, “If Jesus spent 30 years in family and three years in ministry… we have this all backward.” That was an eye-opening statement for me. Kara also shares her heart for the family table, her husband’s struggle with PTSD, and one of the fun things she and her husband do to keep their marriage fresh and focused on each other. We cover so much good stuff in this episode I know you’ll walk away with lots of new ways to live an intentional life.
