Show Summary: When was a moment in your life where you were at a crossroads and you had to make a big decision that would impact your path? Emma Mae McDaniel calls those times in life “middle moments.” Emma faced a middle moment in high school when rampant cyberbullying began on her social media. The decision she made at that point in her life led to a deeper faith and trust in God, which impacted her at a more recent middle moment, when she faced a miscarriage. Join hosts, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn Emma Mae’s story and how she chooses to depend on God amidst deep heartbreak and grief.
