On this episode of the You Inspire Me Podcast, Hope shares a joyous conversation with Katie Walter. Katie defines inspiration as “the process through which we recognize something that we’re called or uniquely positioned to do.” Throughout this interview, Katie walks us through her personal story in the military, marriage, and motherhood. Her love and passion for all that she does is so evident! She inspires me to be the best Christian, wife, (future) mother, and soldier I can possible be. And, I know she will inspire you, too!
