In this moving episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones sits down with Dr. Carolyn Wiley, a former college statistics professor turned publishing entrepreneur. Dr. Carolyn shares how God uniquely wove a love for both numbers and words into her DNA, leading her from co-authoring a textbook to founding Rose and Pearl Publishing.
With deep authenticity, she opens up about her personal journey: overcoming fear-based mindsets that kept her playing small, navigating a 14-year "prodigal son" season away from her faith , and experiencing the relentless grace of God pulling her back. Dr. Carolyn also discusses the divine perfection found within mathematics and offers a powerful reminder for anyone hesitant to speak up: if God is prompting you to share your story, He has a purpose and a plan for it.
