Today on Flourish-Meant, we dove deep into the power of discipleship for wandering souls. I'm Tina Yeager, and I had the pleasure of interviewing Aspen Kennedy, star of the upcoming Kendrick Brothers film, The Forge.
Aspen emphasizes the transformative impact of mentorship and faith. This episode explores how we can guide lost souls by leading with love, responsibility, and relentless trust in God's plans.

This episode is packed with practical insights and heartfelt stories that will inspire you to deepen your faith, embrace mentorship, and see the potential for ministry in all areas of your life. Whether you’re new to the faith or looking to grow deeper, Aspen’s journey and reflections will offer you a fresh perspective on trusting in Jesus and living out your purpose.
