Learning to Dance with Change [podcast]

In this edition of the Beyond Laurelville Podcast, we speak with Shirley Hershey Showalter. Shirley is a blogger, writer and consultant now living in Brooklyn, New York. She previously served as Vice President-Programs for the Fetzer Institute and President at Goshen College.

Last April, Shirley served as the keynote speaker here during the Laurelville Spring Association retreat, exploring the topic of Dancing with Change. Now we pick up where we left off as we continue to discuss God's invitation to dance with changes and transitions.

In this podcast conversation, you will explore:

• How Shirley has embraced the role of a grandmother living in New York City
