Episode 76: a conversation with one of our 2024 Single Moms Retreat speakers, a Minnesota Assemblies of God Executive Presbyter, and the lead pastor of Cornerstone Church in Austin, MN, Rev. Dave Simerson, and our podcast host, Mykelti Blum. In this episode, Pastor Dave shares about his growing up with a single mom and the strength he saw her carry during challenging seasons. They also discuss how to find joy in the midst of difficulty and how to be content while also pursuing betterment.
