If you’re anything like me, the busyness of life sometimes causes priorities to get mixed up, and I find myself not in the Word as much as I’d like to be. If you can relate, you’re going to love today’s guest. I’m sitting down with Gretchen Saffles, the founder of Well-Watered Women and author of Word Before World, a devotional that helps us keep Jesus at the center of our lives.

Here’s what you’ll learn in today’s episode:

• Gretchen shares her journey of realizing the impact of starting her day on social media and how she made a deliberate shift to put Jesus first.
• Encouragement to trust God’s plan and rely on him in our weaknesses.
• Practical tips for evaluating your daily habits and making intentional changes to prioritize your time with God.

Gretchen Saffles is the founder of Well-Watered Women, a ministry dedicated to encouraging women to find their identity and purpose in Christ. She’s also the author of Word Before World, a devotional designed to help women prioritize their relationship with Jesus. Gretchen’s heart for guiding women back to the word shines through in her writing and in today’s conversation.

Join us for this grace-filled discussion that will inspire you to re-evaluate your habits and put Jesus first, right where he needs to be.
