Lydia McLaughlin | Freedom Through Faith...

THE GIRL NAMED BLAKE
About this episode

Wife, mother and previous star of "Real Housewives of Orange County" Lydia McLaughlin joins Blake to talk about how God gave her a platform through reality television and the ways in which she has used it to bring glory to Him. She spent two years writing a 6-week Bible study for the Believer that has been in the Word for 20 years or someone who has never read the Bible. Listen in as they talk about how our lives can be transformed through the power of God's word and what it looks like to be overflowing with joy from the Spirit of God.
