Welcome to The Woodshed. This is a place where people find the promise in their pain, strength in their suffering and hope in the healing. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Elizabeth Oates. She talks about growing up in a divorced home, importance of strong community, and raising emotionally healthy kids. We went to college together and she continues to be one of the most consistent people I know.

Elizabeth serves as the Minister of Discipleship: Women & Marriage at First Woodway Baptist Church in Waco, TX. She completed her Ed.D. in Community Care & Counseling: Marriage and Family Counseling at Liberty University.

Imagine a tree cut down in the woods left in pieces. It is impossible for it to ever go back to being what it once was. It's a mess. Now imagine someone coming along and collecting all of those pieces and covering them in a woodshed. These same pieces have a bold purpose to bring light to darkness. This is the picture of life. This is the way to live. There is a bold purpose to the pieces of your life. 

Our mission is about helping people find a bold purpose in the broken pieces of their lives by sharing stories that shape perspective, pass wisdom, and encourage souls. This is Stories from the Woodshed.

There is a bold purpose in the pieces of your life. @woodshed.live
