How do you view yourself? If you could see life as a metaphor, what would it be?
I am so excited to highlight on the podcast this week, Joy Clarkson’s book, *You Are A Tree: Other Metaphors To Nourish Life, Thought, and Prayer. We are going to dive deeper into Psalms 1:3. “That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither -- whatsoever they do prospers.” I love that the Bible describes us as trees. You know how much I love to talk about deep roots, so I cannot wait for you to hear the truth Joy shares about trees!

Do you like to read fiction books?
It is interesting-- I did a survey maybe the second year of my podcast and asked what people want to hear about. One lady wrote, “I want to hear more fiction book recommendations.” At the time, I responded that I really did not read that genre; I mostly read nonfiction books.
Well that all changed when I was introduced to Francine Rivers and her books. If you have not read one of her books, then I am so glad you tuned in today for this episode because I am sharing with you my favorite books written by Francine Rivers. I have so many favorites to tell you about.

Are you raising emotionally strong kids? Are you helping them learn how to develop their emotional literacy? This is an important part of parenting and sadly, this is one area I was lacking for many years. It took me walking through my divorce for me to see the importance of emotional literacy.
So I am excited this summer, I am going to be recommending some books to you and to start it off since Father’s Day was just yesterday, I want to do a parenting book. This is such an amazing book; I wish I had it when my kids were younger. It just came out a couple of years ago, and it is called *Raising Emotionally Strong Boys by David Thomas.
The subtitle is Tools Your Son Can Build On For Life. Now let me say, all of these things can be shared with your daughter too, but David points out that so many times we are not teaching our boys this and honestly, it is so important. I would like to highlight some of my favorite parts of the book as well as share some personal stories too! I believe this parenting book is life-changing for your kids!

Has God ever answered, "No" to one of your prayer requests? Did you have a hard time accepting when God's answer was "No." I don't know about you, but I think that is a really hard one when we pray fervently, and God does not answer with the way we want him to. I remember that with my friend, we were praying for a miracle for her to be healed, but sadly she wasn't. It was really hard to accept that "No".
I am excited to have Hadassah Treu on the podcast this week because she is going to share her story of a time when she had to accept when God answered, "No." I think it is a very powerful episode. Her book is called *Draw Near: How Painful Experiences Become the Birthplace of Blessings. You do not want to miss the truth Hadassah shares; there is so much goodness!

Happy New Year! I am so excited you are joining me in 2024.
Have you ever stopped and evaluated the roles you have in your life? The ones that God has given you?Today, I thought it would be fun to talk about the roles we have in life and how we can embrace these roles. I love that my mentor models this so well. She recently said to me, “Sometimes you need to step back in one role, so you can step up in another.” I love this quote, and so today, I want to encourage you to make a list of your roles, pray and ask God what roles He may be asking you to add to your list and what roles He may be encouraging you to let go.
I recently did this and I share on the podcast what I felt God was asking me to do!
You don’t want to miss my big announcement!I also encourage you to do this too- the beginning of a New Year is an excellent time to ponder how you want to spend your 2024 and in what capacity!
