Taking a leap or a move when you are married can be scary, especially when you don’t know what the next step is going to be.

Join the conversation with Clint Hatton as he shares his journey of big, bold, and brave leaps in his career, how he handled the transitions, and waiting periods when things were not moving as fast as he expected and why prayers, peace, and agreement are essential when taking a leap as a couple. He also talks about the loss of his firstborn son in 2019 which gave his family a compass and inspired him to write his book.

From Nursing to Nonfiction Author

Life is good, but it’s not without its share of struggles. Even in a Christian marriage, there will be difficulties and challenges, however, with Christ we learn how He can get the glory when we face and overcome them. In this episode, Jen Hughes shares her career journey and how she has been balancing her time as a Christian author with growing her family, the journey of being a firefighter’s wife, and advancing in her demanding career as a practicing nurse. She also explains how setting priorities can help us focus on the majors in our lives and as we pursue heavenly and earthly success.

Jen has been a pediatric nurse for the last 35-plus years and is married to a retired fire veteran chief. Their life raising their two daughters was focused on their career. They moved several times with her husband's career, which at times was challenging but worth it. Her journey as a firefighter’s wife inspired her book, Weathering The Firestorm, which draws from their life together as two first responders trying to raise their daughters in a christian home. Jen is an award-winning author who inspires her readers to escape into adventure with words of faith, love, and hope.
