&lt;p&gt;The second segment, Allison shares how she's super famous now because of TikTok and how her and her son are going to LA to become actors and why she loves it all so much!&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Allison Sullivan joins Taylor for the three year anniversary show!!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taylor took a 9th grade theology test and...it didn't go well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our guests this week are Janine McGann and Liz Sams to share about the film they created "Speaking to Sparrows." (speakingtosparrows.com) This was created for young women to reaffirm their worth in God and help them through their trials.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The final segment is, as Allison put it, "the squirreliest segment we've ever done." She tries to speak about what the Lord has revealed to her about waiting but instead they incessantly make fun of each other. It gets off the rails quick. Enjoy! 😊&lt;/p&gt;
