Send us a textIn Part Two of the conversation with author Nijay Gupta, Janell and Nijay discuss women in the early church, highlighting influential figures like Lydia and Junia. Nijay encourages listeners to follow the breadcrumbs of their faith to find their own ways to serve God's kingdom. Nijay says, "One of the ways that our eyes get in the way of our gifts and our calling is by looking at what we perceive to be limitations, rather than looking at what God has called us to do and who God has called us to be." Learn more about Nijay K.
