    In this episode of Hinges and Horizons, we hear a story from Anna Everhart. After having her third child she was dealing with some anxiety that just wouldn't lift.

And when we don't live from a place of belovedness, it is often helpful to repent...to return to the good. Enjoy!

    Virtual Voices was born in a time of need to connect with our community. Throughout the pandemic it gave us lifting stories, helped us get to know each other and provided support for others as we navigated uncertain times. The time for change is good as we pivot to a new journey for Virtual Voices as we change the podcast! We all have those moments in life where something changes and we will never be the same again. These hinge moments can be spiritual turning points, relationships that are transformative, and sometimes tragedies that change us forever. We also have endeavors and dreams and hopes for our future. When we look towards the horizon, we move towards what is next. Hinges and Horizons will focus on the stories of people…the hinge moments and the horizons.
