If you’re missing the Olympics, why not listen to this Premier interview with Julia Immonen, a Christian working at Sky who was part of the first female crew of 5 to row the Atlantic! Their epic journey raised funds to stop human trafficking. No toilets, Christmas at sea and nudity to prevent chaffing were all painful realities. Listen here to see how her faith strengthened through the trials.
