Danica's story beautifully illustrates this daily walk, as she candidly reflects on how faith began to take root in her life through small moments and divine encounters. Their conversation is both uplifting and relatable, offering practical wisdom and encouragement for anyone looking to live out their faith with intention and impact, no matter where they are on their journey.\n--\nResources from the episode:\nJesus Calling\nBible Recap Reading Plan\nPre-order Danica's new \"I love you 100\" book\nFor Danica's other math books, check out her website\nCheck out Great American Pure Flix for some of Danica's movies\nLearn more about Rolling Hills Community Church.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/_VhUL9ELgl0zs5gwQAjpsT8Xk3tB820AC3Y_hj3EiwE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85ZTAx/Y2RmZDk1ZGY0ZWM5/MWRhMGRkMDUyM2Nj/MzU0OS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
