No matter the why or how or when behind our story, it’s crucial to start well. We need to trust in our Lord and to surround ourselves with good people. In this episode of the YM Transfer Podcast, guest Kim McMillan shares her unique story of starting and then having to restart after being in the same parish for years. If you’ve ever wanted to know how to reinvent yourself and build a solid foundation in ministry, then check out Kim’s story.
