In today's episode my dear friend Stephanie Gray Connors—renowned pro-life apologist and global speaker—joins me to share the behind-the-scenes story of how she found love at 40 (yes, I played matchmaker!).
Stephanie gets real about the heartache of waiting, the tension between her calling and her longing for marriage, and the unexpected ways God showed up—through deep friendship, purpose-driven work, and eventually, a saintly husband.
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late for your dreams, this conversation will remind you: God’s timing is perfect.
