Mud Stories is a podcast dedicated to bringing you inspiration in your muddiest moments, hope to make it through your mud, and encouragement for you to know, you are not alone.
Today I’m talking with Wynter Pitts, wife to Jonathan, and mom to four daughters ages 10, 8, and twins who are 5— all residing together as a family near Dallas, Texas.
Wynter describes herself as loving coffee and cookie dough, and enjoys her days amidst play dough, carpool lines, and moments of giggles with her girls.
Wynter writes for a variety of ministry sites and is passionate about our kids learning Christian values, and providing tools to make it relevant, interesting, and fun.
In this episode Wynter and I discuss:
- Her growing up years with a single mom in the inner city of Baltimore
- Her heritage growing up in church
- And the disconnect that developed between what she knew about God and how she lived
Wynter shares:
- How relationships made her face her selfishness and pride
- How she came to terms with her trust issues
- The scariness of learning to become vulnerable and choose to stay and not run
- And how she made a choice to let go and surrender her control to God
It is out of Wynter’s life story that her ministry began–driven by a desire to help her own girls connect the Bible in their practical everyday lives. Wynter has founded a quarterly magazine for tween girls and their parents, and just released her very first book entitled, For Girls Like You: A Devotional for Tweens
Mud Stories 035: We grow when we get vulnerable, trust, kill selfishness, and surrender. [Tweet that]
