Episode 95: Ruth Chou Simons

When we ended this interview, we already could not wait to share this episode with you. If you are tired and weary today, this episode is a soft place to land. We’re sitting down with our friend Ruth Chou Simons, and we know that she will speak life into you today. Ruth is a wife and a mom to 6 boys. She is also an author, an artist, an entrepreneur, a speaker, and the founder of GraceLaced. In this conversation, we’re talking all about grace and how it is so much more than we tend to believe. We’re talking about mission, the power of telling your story, and even a bit about being an Asian American woman in America today. Oh, and we’re also talking all about Ruth’s upcoming book, When Strivings Cease: Replacing the Gospel of Self-Improvement, which is available for preorder now. We are wildly encouraged by this conversation, and we are incredibly grateful for Ruth’s voice and her wisdom. Listen in.
