Episode Details

Sadie and Emma go way back, and in today’s convo, Emma opens up about a powerful moment tied to a photo they once took together — and the wave of online bullying that followed. She remembers the world feeling like it stopped as she read all the hateful comments about “the girl in the middle.” In the days after, Emma had a choice: keep torturing herself by reading every comment and believing the lies, or lean into what she knew was true about who she is as a child of God. Her strength and wisdom seriously shine through in this conversation with Sadie. Emma reminds us that we all have our own “girl in the middle” moment — so when that time comes, what will we choose? To boldly live out our faith in the love of God, or to stay in the comfort zone? Get your copy of Emma's book, "The Girl in the Middle" available now!
