Prepared to Sail: Gaining Confidence and Joy from Scripture’s Boat Builders (Ep. 70)

In this episode, Jenny and Lee explore three iconic boat-building stories from scripture—Noah, Nephi, and the brother of Jared—not as ancient tales, but as living lessons in personal preparedness.

From capsizing sailboats to spiritual storms, they share real-life experiences and scriptural insights that reveal how preparation is a process filled with joy, trust, and divine guidance.

Whether you're feeling behind, overwhelmed, or just unsure where to start, this conversation will remind you that God prepares us line upon line—and gives us time to become who He needs us to be.

Tune in for a heartfelt, hope-filled journey toward readiness.
