Chanel Dokun: Life Starts Now

Hard-earned lessons on letting go of the life you thought you’d have and embracing God’s gift of now.

Kicking off this week’s episode, Heather is joined by her husband, Seth, for another round of #Blessed.This time the pair explore the idea of buying social media followers. Is it ever a good thing? Is it even ethical? Have you ever thought about buying followers? Make sure to let us know your thoughts on the topic by typing in ViralJesusPod on Instagram or Twitter and using #blessed.

As our pod-class journey on healing continues, (don’t forget to listen to pod-class one with Katelyn Beaty last week) Heather sits down with author Chanel Dokun to learn how we can stop waiting for the lives we wish we had, and start living the life we have right now. Chanel’s expertise as a life coach and marriage and family therapist uniquely qualifies her to help us get a grasp on what we truly want out of life, and the energy to start going after it.
