EP. 101 | Dr. Deb Shropshire [The Impact of Everyday Heroes]

The Messy Table with Jenn Jewell

Everyday heroes. They sometimes fly under the radar and often avoid recognition, but if you’re willing to take a closer look, you’ll find them—serving on the fringes and fighting for what matters.

Jesus, of course, is our ultimate Hero. But He’s dispatched an army of everyday heroes to flood the darkness with light. And Dr. Deb Shropshire—a seasoned pediatrician and the Director of Child Welfare for the state of Oklahoma—is a stunning blaze of brilliance.

“We all can help, but we all need help at different times in our lives.” —Dr. Deb Shropshire
