A kind gesture by a friend inspired Heather Oncken’s dream to motivate and encourage people to be more intentional in their friendships.
She knew she was supposed to do something with this inspiration. She just didn’t know what. As she continued to pray for clarity, God prompted her to simply pay attention and be faithful to the needs He placed in front of her.
Today she shares the hope that in all our relationships we have an opportunity to change someone’s day, someone’s week, and even someone’s life through our small, intentional gestures of love.
Even though Heather feels unqualified to be an entrepreneur and a podcaster, she is trusting God with the dream He has given her to inspire and motivate intentional friendships. Building an app with a friend she knew through her small group and recently launching Connecting in the Chaos Podcast, Heather is learning to recognize the signs that she’s trying to do it all on her own strength and course correct as soon as she sees it.
