Embracing ‘Unwanted Seasons’: Ruth Chou ...

BILLY GRAHAM EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION
About this episode

Ruth Chou Simons shares her inspiring journey of immigrating from Taiwan to the U.S. to becoming an author, artist, mother of six boys, and founder of GraceLaced—a Christ-centered art company.

Ruth explains that she’s always loved being a mom, but struggled through times of frustration when it came to growing a business on top of managing her household. It was during that time when Ruth came to understand the importance of being faithful in the moment. Her story will encourage you to pursue your passions and trust in God’s plan, no matter where you start.
