Jill Tolles, a former Nevada State Assemblywoman, is a communicator, a life builder and a personal friend. Through seasons of single life, marriage and family, business ownership and community building, she has learned how to navigate the faith life through the toughest often crushing times. She’ll share how sometimes you have to disassemble your faith to rebuild it for the long haul. She shares her firm belief that we don't walk with God, God walks with us through the good and bad. He never lets go of us. Her testimony will inspire you that there is hope around the corner. For more of Jill's talks, you can also hear her sharing on a Ted Talk and at a Grace Church Ladies night.

WELCOME LADIES! So glad to introduce you to my friend Teige Morrell, a 26 yo semi-pro basketball player currently playing for the Joondalup Wolves in Perth, Australia. Much of her life story, as we uncovered it, is a life of surrender, and watching God's blessings come in. We talk about the reality that for those who believe - surrender is a huge key and there are a lot of little surrenders along the way. Letting go of what you think you are and what you think you should/could do and be to make room for who God says you are and what He wants to unfold for you - it's a key to your believing life. We talk briefly about the act of practicing the Sabbath. Thank you Teige for sharing your story!
