Bj Foster is a Broadway actor, Women's Ministry Leader, Jesus follower, and now an author, who happens to be a black woman in America. Her book, Rebound: Staging a Spiritual Comeback (https://amzn.to/3aoLmMS) just released in January of 2021. She and I talk freely about how nothing is wasted, tearing down and building up, what it is to live as a black women's minister in a mostly white church, and all along the way, she is dropping nuggets of wisdom. Listen to find out how to redeem hard times for goodness, truth, and beauty; how to shift from survival to showing up wholehearted and holy; and how suffering is like croutons.
