Show notes

EPISODE 276 - JD McCabe - A shockingly true memoir, psychological thriller, and an unbelievable journey into one man’s nightmare.
Book: The Third Gift: My Dance With The Devil (And Her Mother)
J.D. Danny McCabe maintained a loving relationship with his wife for nearly twenty years before the underpinnings of their marriage, family, and world began to crumble. Their foundation had always been rooted in the mantra that trust is the bedrock of a healthy relationship. Indeed, Erin had always claimed that things wouldn’t — couldn’t — work without trust.
But one day, for reasons Danny could not fathom, Erin became suspicious of his every move. Phone calls, text messages, and work emails were manufactured into proof of infidelity, drug addiction, and a network of lies.
She enlisted her mother in her efforts, and together they forged the words of family, trust and honesty into a metaphorical hammer and beat him into the ground. Their accusations accumulated, twisting reality, and eventually resulting in Danny s involuntary hospitalization.
Danny was pushed to the edge and was damn near ready to jump. Then, God intervened. Erin s shocking revelation, her Third Gift, lit the blind spots in his marriage that Danny had never been able to reconcile.

E275 - Mike ML Sutton - An Anthology from the heart - for Him, for Her and for Them - The Loss of a Spouse Nov 12, 2023

Show notes

EPISODE 275 - Mike ML Sutton - An Anthology from the heart - for Him, for Her and for Them - The Loss of a Spouse
Who is your biggest influence and why?
I cannot honestly say that I have a single influence. The influence on my life and living as I do has and is an accumulated influence from many sources; my grandparents and their examples; my love for my family; my faith in God, and my overwhelming thankfulness for all He has taken from and given back to me and my family; my church.
Tell us something we don’t know about you.
I am a simple person who doesn’t require much to be content. Just give me some space, easy instrumental music, a nearby shoreline, and a project that I can go to work on, preferably one using my hands and mind, then stand back. I love to work in my yard, read, and collect rocks.
Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.
What was your favorite book as a child? What is your favorite activity to do with the family?
I didn’t have one; we were not well off, but my grandmother was a schoolteacher, so she would bring the old set of encyclopedias to us when she received new, and I read them again and again as you might a novel. Now, as an adult, I enjoy reading the Clive Cussler Series of books.
Are you working on any other projects?
I am. Currently; I am finishing up my second book, an anthology of poems and stories of the yearning and sadness of a broken heart, the gratitude of a thankful and loving heart, fond memories being brought to life, everyday scenes, and thought-provoking observations, which I hope like this book, Mission Hope, will bring hope, enlightenment, and joy to those who read it by healing broken hearts and opening the eyes and hearts of the readers to see with compassion and gratitude, all that God has so richly blessed us with.
Where can we get in touch with you?
Individuals may reach me through private messenger on Facebook, LinkedIn or by emailing me at pearlruby9742@gmail.com

E274 - Howard Bell - Infantile Spinal Muscular Atrophy has led to a Yielded Life Nov 11, 2023

Show notes

EPISODE 274 - Howard Bell - Infantile Spinal Muscular Atrophy has led to a Yielded Life
Howard Bell
Howard Bell has lived life sharing the message that physical and emotional limitations do not have to determine identity or purpose. Instead, I have personally developed the lifestyle and belief that our identity and purpose, if well cultivated, can unlock an amazing destiny.
At the age of one, Howard was diagnosed with Infantile Spinal Muscular Atrophy. The prognosis was fatal. Doctors told his parents he would probably not live beyond the age of five... at best into his early teens. As people of faith, Howard’s parents and family chose to treat him as “normal” and encouraged him to believe he had a divine purpose and that his identity rested in what he believed, not in what others said about him.
Now, more than four decades later, Howard has taken his life’s story around the world to help encourage and inspire others. Seeing others succeed, is what continues to fan the flames of purpose in his life that is unlocking the destiny in people everywhere.
Despite physical challenges, Howard has accomplished many professional and personal goals such as receiving a bachelor’s degree from ASU with highest honors. He also went on to receive a his doctorate. He has been appointed by governors and mayors to serve on various community and political boards. He has been a spokesperson for the Easter Seals Society. He has been the Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for various corporations. He is a published author and has been featured on TBN, 700 Club, and several radio programs throughout the United States. He also hosted the “More Than A Conqueror” radio program for four years.
Today, Howard travels and speaks to businesses, churches, institutions, schools and at various community organizations throughout the world. His mission is to reach the globe with the message that there are no limits for those who believe.

E272 - Benecia Ponder - Inspiring Authors, Creative Slumps and Tips To Build a Story Nov 09, 2023

Show notes

EPISODE 272 - Benecia Ponder - Inspiring Authors, Creative Slumps and Tips To Build a Story
Coaching Authors To Publish

Since 2006, I’ve been on a mission to help individuals just like you prosper with purpose. I am the best-selling author of six inspirational books of my own, and I’ve also helped my clients produce works that have generated more than $20M to build and grow their businesses and ministries.

Although writing, publishing and marketing books seems like second nature to me now, it has not always been this way.

I remember the moment I decided to write and self publish my first book. After receiving the inspiration and getting excited about the possibilities, I went into full-blown panic mode because I had NO IDEA what to do next. I spent a whole year paralyzed with the overwhelm and stress of it all before I finally reached out to a mentor for help.

Why did it take me so long to get help? Well…I thought I could do it by myself. After all, I was an attorney with a law degree, a business degree, and lots of success writing for my clients. Unfortunately, all of that experience and expertise didn’t stop the confusion when it came to writing and self publishing my own book.

It took some time for me to figure it out and nowI’d like to keep you from having to go through the same panic and paralysis when you get ready to create and publish YOUR book.

E269 - BettyJoyce Nash - Crafting A Story, Creating Characters and In a World of Environmental Change Nov 06, 2023

Show notes

EPISODE 269 - BettyJoyce Nash - Crafting A Story, Creating Characters and In a World of Environmental Change
BettyJoyce's novel, Everybody Here is Kin, forthcoming in 2023 from Madville Publishing.
Here's how writers describe BettyJoyce's book:
"In her beautiful Everybody Here is Kin, BettyJoyce Nash has laid bare the ways our blood betrays and restores us. The book is a powerful exploration of love's shadowy forms, and the ways our relationships are as shaped by desire as they are by the places we've called home, the places we keep running from and toward."
—Bret Anthony Johnston, international best-selling author of the novel, Remember Me Like This, and the short story collection Corpus Christi. He directs the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas in Austin.
"In Everybody Here is Kin, BettyJoyce Nash tells a coming-of-age tale that challenges notions of motherhood, both familial and as guardians of the earth. Lucille is a girl on the brink of adolescence whose intelligence is matched only by her intuitive knowledge of the natural world—where she's been left to monitor her two younger step-siblings. This story transcends time and place and will be a joy for anyone who loves this transient world.

E268 - Becky Burroughs - This is Next Chapter Living - resources and services to equip and empower you as a leader Nov 05, 2023

Show notes

EPISODE 268 - Becky Burroughs - This is Next Chapter Living - resources and services to equip and empower you as a leader
This is Next Chapter Living
I have held a variety of leadership roles for 40+ years, as a small business owner, non-profit leader, and in several different church ministry roles. I know first-hand that your leadership role is hard work. It is not enough to be good at what you do; you have to also know how to lead and develop those under your leadership. I became a certified life/leadership coach to help other women, like you, along the journey of leadership.
As a leadership coach, I serve as a guide, helping you identify the strengths and weaknesses in your leadership and navigate a path to fully living into this call to lead. We begin with inner work, because you must first learn how to be the BOSS of your self-destructive thoughts so you can give your best before you can effectively be the BOSS who influences others to give their best.
As a life coach, I work with those of you navigating Life’s Next Chapter. A few years ago, I had a full-blown identity crisis when all of the roles and titles I held were stripped away. I realized I had placed my identity in all of these roles and did not know who I truly was without them. The dream I had always had for my life was shattered and I had no idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Since then, I have learned the value of my story and I can honestly say I have never felt more authentically me than I do in this moment! I have a clear calling, a strong passion, a definite purpose and am living the dream of this next chapter of my life, and you can too.
Your God-given identity is the only one that will be with you throughout your life. Prayerfully discern why he thinks the world needs what only you have to offer and become passionate about that!
Book: Elevate Your Voice - 14 Women courageously share a personal story in the hope that it will inspire other women to own and share their stories
Book: Come Back Home To You - Whether expected or unexpected, a life transition can knock you off your feet. Even planned changes, such as moving to a new city, are hard—but changes you didn’t ask for, such as divorce or loss of a loved one? Those can be devastating.
Like many women, Becky Burroughs loved her husband, enjoyed being a mom, and had a successful career. Then, within a few years, her parents died, her position was eliminated, and her husband left their forty-year marriage. Her children were already grown, and she was alone for the first time in her life.
Shattered by grief and unable to shake her fears, she realized that she’d immersed herself so deeply in her various roles as daughter, wife, mother, and professional that she no longer knew who she was without them.
But changes don’t have to be paralyzing. In Come Back Home to You, Becky draws on her personal experience and conversations with dozens of women, as well as her expertise as a life coach, to help you navigate your own life changes, anchored in your true identity as created by God.
You’ll learn about the importance of mindset, how to deal with fear, how to intentionally incorporate joy into your life, and much more. Each section ends with questions for reflection to help you honor your experience, redefine who you are, and design your next life chapter.
Becky Burroughs is a professional life and leadership coach for Christian women whose mission is to encourage and empower women to love themselves as God loves them: unconditionally. Her essay “Embrace Healing Adventures” appeared in Elevate Your Voice, published in 2022. She lives in Dallas, Texas.
