Dad, if you’re like a lot of men, you may not always realize the value of sharing your life story with your daughter—which includes telling her about your successes, as well as things you’ve learned the hard way.

My guest today, Sarah Stump is a role model that any girl can look up to, not just because she’s won beauty pageants, but due to her inner beauty. At only 20 years old, she has already proven that she can rise above hardships (which includes being bullied for not having a portion of left arm), while exuding grace towards those who have hurt her. She radiates the love of Jesus in profound ways and today shares how her dad has empowered her along the way! @imperfectlysarah #thedadwhisperer
