Episode 71: Understanding Your Strengths w/ Portia Allen

Episode 71: a conversation with pastor, speaker, consultant, and writer Portia Allen and our podcast host, Mykelti Blum. You will hear Portia sharing about our strengths as ways God has uniquely designed us. The two discuss submitting our gifts back to God and not letting our strengths or growth-areas define us. Portia also encourages those who feel they were told they are “too much.” You will also hear her heart behind her new consulting agency, Imago Dei.
