Retroactive Grace with Tiffany Bluhm

Have you ever wondered if you are going to see the end of the story? Will there be grace up ahead?

Tiffany Bluhm is a speaker and the author of The Women We’ve Been Waiting For, Prey Tell, and other books and studies. With over 15 years of experience in ministry and nonprofit leadership, she speaks, writes, and leads at the intersection of justice, women’s issues, and faith for conferences, churches, and companies. Her work has been featured in Publisher’s Weekly, the YouVersion Bible app, Sojourners, Propel Ecclesia, and more. She lives in the Pacific Northwest  with her husband and two sons. In this engaging conversation, Tiffany shares her journey from a young girl with a passion for writing to now becoming a published author and advocate for women's empowerment. She reflects on her own life experiences with poverty, cultural identity, and the importance of self-care and community. Tiffany discusses her new devotional, 'The Women We've Been Waiting For,' emphasizing the significance of women's roles in scripture and the need for a holistic approach to self-care that connects to social justice. I so much enjoyed Tiffany's personal stories, combined with her wisdom that she brings to the table.
