## Resource

In this episode of The Pulpit & Porch , we sit down with Amanda Marr for one of the most honest and personal conversations we’ve had on the show. Amanda is a top-producing Realtor with Keller Williams, a member of the Agent Leadership Council (ALC), the newly elected Southeast Regional Director for KW Cares, and this year’s recipient of the prestigious Eagle Award, an honor given to just one agent each year. But this conversation isn’t really about awards. It’s about resilience. Amanda opens up about growing up with trauma, navigating hardship and constant turmoil, and what it looks like to keep showing up with compassion, generosity, faith, and empathy after life continually throws difficult seasons your way. We talk about: Traumatic events throughout childhood How pain can shape you without hardening you Leadership, success, and serving people well Faith in difficult seasons Choosing generosity instead of bitterness What resilience actually looks like in everyday life This episode is less about achievement… and more about who you become through adversity. The Pulpit & Porch — real conversations about life, faith, and purpose.
