“It’s really amazing to speak with the same Carole Joy you hear on the podcast and on the seminars and she is exactly the same! She’s genuine, caring, funny, she listens, she encourages, she hears you, sees you and I believe that has to be because of the Holy Spirit! I really loved how she asked about our family history and got to the root of things so that she could understand.”
