Hello All! We have a lot to get through today, so hold on tight! First of all, we have a new author to add to our roster, our Movie Reviewer, Sarah Daniels! Sarah Daniels works as a staff member of her church in New Hampshire by day, and toils as an aspiring author by night. She’s a movie nerd who’s stuck in the 80s and grew up with classics like Star Wars, Back to the Future, The Goonies, and The Terminator. She’s currently funneling the life lessons she learned from them into a movie devotional and hosts monthly movie nights at her church to teach people how God can speak to us through movies and other aspects of pop culture. She’s passionate about hearing the voice of God and encouraging people to break out of the Matrix and embrace their true identities as sons and daughters of God, and how to partner with God using their unique creative giftings, whatever those might be. Show Sarah some love on social media or check out her website for a preview of what is to come!
