SIGNIFICANT Women

HOST: Carol McLeod

CAROL MCLEOD MINISTRIES

Carol McLeod welcomes a new friend to today’s episode of the Significant Women Podcast! Johanna Janssen was born in southern Ontario among rolling vineyards, fragrant orchards, and strawberry patches, where in winter, the sunlight glints off the snow. Before this, her parents left the shores of the Netherlands, boarded the S.S. Waterman with three young children for Halifax harbor, leaving family, friends and most of their belongings behind.

Johanna, now a retired nurse, writes inspirational fiction that fights for joy in the dark pages of history. The passing down of faith, of core values, throughout the generations and how that looks through fiction, inspires her work, which is loosely based on her parents’ journey through WW2 that eventually led them to Canada. The faith those early settlers took with them across the waters to the new land is what kept them. That same faith now inspires Johanna’s writing.

The Significant Women podcast is full of personal stories, dynamic hope, and sage wisdom from women who have gleaned all that they can from the ordinary days of an uncommon life. They aren’t significant because of their fame or success…they are significant because Jesus is in the details of their lives.
