In Episode 43, Mary Armand joins the podcast from New Orleans, Louisiana, to discuss the vital importance of knowing your true identity. Having grown up attending Spanish churches with her Honduran mother, Mary met Jesus early, but struggled in her twenties when she tried testing worldly substitutes to find her way.
Listen in as she shares her lifelong pursuit of true joy, discovering that our identity must be firmly anchored in Christ alone. Drawing from her book Uniquely Made, she shares the beautiful metaphor of the "Katrina Rose"—a flower that survived a devastating hurricane simply because it was deeply rooted in the soil. Mary also discusses her online ministry, ButterflyLiving.org, and her passion for helping children in Honduras through Compassion International.
