Meet my Guest:
Kim Jonas is one of my fearless friends. She is as at home in a group of people “working the room” as she is ministering to the one. She is fearless defender of motherhood and her role as teacher and role model for her children. Kim’s family have developed traditions that bind their family together that include sendy things like traveling to Europe on bikes with her husband and five children, the youngest at only 9 years old. Taking opportunities to teach their children every day about things their family values, the Jonas’s deliberately take moments to build courage, resilience, and humility in their children. I learn so much from my friend, Kim in this episode. Enjoy our chat! Isn’t it fun to be a spider in the room?
