Podcast Preview
In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones connects with Laura Sharp-Waites from South Carolina, beautifully known as "The Baking Pastor." Laura shares the heartwarming story of her uniquely purr-fect co-host and podcast producer—a stray cat named Sassy who "adopted" her family and now even runs her own online Bible study!
Listen in as Laura discusses her podcast, At the Counter with the Baking Pastor, centered around a physical kitchen counter built by her great-grandfather. Using Southern hospitality to create a safe space for people to share their burdens, Laura beautifully explains how the Holy Spirit acts as the "yeast" in our lives—working beneath the surface during chaotic times to produce something magnificent. If you struggle with constantly performing for others, Laura’s gentle reminder that vulnerability is not a weakness will offer your soul tremendous comfort and peace!
