Sometimes things don’t work out the way you’ve been told they’re supposed to ... or how they seem to be turning out for others.  No matter how well you follow the rules.  No matter how faithful you are, sometimes life just happens, and you have to figure out how to make sense of it all. In this Fair Trade episode (Part 1 of 2), Jennifer Toone shares her faith journey, starting from her childhood in California, where she encountered ostracism at church, and in school and leading into adulthood where the challenges kept coming... despite her strict adherence to church teachings. Join host Blake Smith as he sits down with Jennifer's to hear her story of struggle and transition.
