The Biography of God | With Olga Samples Davis
Words are powerful. They shape our relationships, influence how we see ourselves, and impact how we experience the world.
In this episode of The Echoes Podcast, poet, author, and educator Olga Samples Davis shares her reflections on the significance of words—whether spoken in kindness, passed down through generations, or rooted in faith. Olga reflects on her mother’s wisdom, her journey as an educator, and her faith in the transformative power of language. Because, Olga says, kindness transcends barriers.
