Ep.20_When the Hard Knock Life Meets the Spirit-filled Life (Barbara Walker)

Ever met someone whose life story has so many twists and turns that it seems almost too incredible to believe? Barbara Walker would qualify to be in that exclusive club.

Host Erika Seamayer-Williamson sits down with Barbara to talk all things about overcoming enormous challenges. They met several years ago at their church while serving/volunteering. It's clear Barbara, who spent years in law enforcement in the Illinois prison system, is a fighter and refuses to let obstacles arrest her faith.
 
One of Barbara's biggest challenges of learning how to lean on God's amazing grace has been in the area of parenting. After raising her own  five children, Barbara took custody of her six grandchildren after her 32-year-old daughter died of AIDS (contracted from her husband who was a download brother, as Barbara called it). During the entire ordeal, local football legend Deion Sanders heard about Barbara's story and provided incredible support for her family. This episode unpacks that divine appointment blessing for Barbara's life.

Barbara currently serves as head of security at Trinity Church (Cedar Hill, Texas). She also is studying at a local seminary to prepare herself for full-time ministry.
