“Jennifer has been a great resource. I wanted to study the Bible together, and she customized our meetings to fit my schedule, goals and personality. Because I like to ask a lot of questions and try to really understand what I’m reading, the approach was organic and flexible, which was great for me. Jennifer also provided many resources for books and podcasts so I could get closer to God, and she helped me see the importance of community.”
