Patrick and I recorded an episode three months ago, but he informed me he had more to say and it took us a while to reconnect. He's a proud husband and dad living in Burnet now. One day Patrick walked straight into a locksmith shop and then walked out with a career.

Amanda truly has a heart for helping people which, in a surprise twist, led her away from a ministry-related role she was in so she could be involved in education. We were close friends as far back as seventh grade and some of our inside jokes have survived all this time.

Leslie lives in Midland, Texas, and is currently tackling parenthood, full-time work, AND getting her master's degree. She is a person who naturally emanates a sense of confidence and positivity, so it was really fun to catch up with her. We talk about the importance of community (in our respective churches) and reminisce on some music we loved back in high school. This conversation moves fast, so buckle up!
