Today I am so happy to share with you the story of Jamie O’Donoghue. Jamie is someone who I am grateful to know. He's also someone who I asked to join me on the show without knowing much of their story. In fact, I think I totally surprised him when I asked if he’d be willing to do an episode, but I am so grateful he said yes. Jamie is intentional with his words and thoughtful about his faith. You’ll hear him share about his life as a young boy in Ireland on his grandparents dairy farm, how loss and upheaval in his family as an adolescent left him wandering and wondering, and how the truth of the Gospel has impacted his life.. He’ll tell us not just what God has done, but what He’s continuing to do over years of healing. 

Jamie and his wife Grace live in Tulsa, OK with their son Killian. And don’t worry, I definitely asked him how a young boy from Ireland ended up married to a lovely Tulsa girl. It’s a great story all on its own.

As you listen, would you think about someone else who might be encouraged by Jamie’s story? Would you send them a link to the episode? I get the best feedback from listeners who heard one interview that somehow resonated with them at just the right time. These stories matter and God is using them in beautiful and surprising ways.
