I cannot wait for you to hear this today! Whitney Capps and the incredible ladies of Point of Grace joined me at a Fresh Grounded Faith event in Springfield, Missouri, and let me tell you, there was something extra special about this day.

Maybe it was because Whitney brought such raw honesty while in the middle of cancer treatments. Or maybe it was the sweet friendship and humility that Point of Grace radiated from the stage. Or maybe it was because someone in the audience tried to set KC up with her cousin, Brenda. 😂

Either way, we had a blast answering questions from the audience where Point of Grace shared how they got together, what happened when a “cease and desist” forced them to change their name 👀, and if they ever have any girl drama!

Plus, we opened up about whether it’s okay to tell God that you’re mad, practical ways to become self-disciplined, and how to walk with a friend through cancer.

It’s deep, it’s funny, it’s real—and it’s just what you need today. So get ready! We’re spilling the beans!
