Be bold, be brave, trust in the Lord, and then take your faith and put it into action. So says Eden Gordon Hill, communications specialist. Zach Clinton visits with Eden to learn more about what drives her to go into the public arena to carry the good news and engage people directly as a Christian. Earlier in her career, Eden served as a White House staffer and a TV news contributor. But today Eden derives her identity not in what she does, but rather in who she is as a Christian living boldly amidst a very challenging culture. Eden's advice- slow down, put your phone down, engage whom ever and where ever possible, and never forget to read your Bible. Always remember who you belong to. In Him, all things are possible.
