Jen Hatmaker’s escape from the hate lane

THE CLEARING WITH KATHERINE MAY

Jen Hatmaker’s escape from the hate lane

00:00
00:00

Hello,

As someone whose life was turned upside down by an unexpected divorce and a subsequent move away from the evangelical church, US author and podcaster Jen Hatmaker has learned, and earned, a wisdom that is tangible.

In this episode of The Clearing Podcast, Jen transports me to her grandparents’ 1970s cabin in the snowy Colorado mountains to share the many ways she has come to terms with life’s challenges. Against a blissful setting of vast windows, low lighting and a crackling fire, Jen describes letting others “drive their car in the Jen Hatmaker hate lane”, the comfort of feeling small, saying yes to everything and how Me Camp changed her life.
