April Fruchey & Estie Woddard
We are Simply Edify. Our mission is to help strengthen your walk with the Lord. We are mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and wives, but what unites us most is our place in God’s family as daughters of Christ. Our goal is to encourage women as we navigate the messiness of life through biblical studies, personal stories, and practical tips that bolster our walk with Jesus daily.
