Today on the podcast I will be ending season 3 by sharing about my recent book deal with Moody Publishers and some of the life changing lessons I learned on the journey to traditional publishing. I will also talk about how I gave up on my dream in exchange for what God had assigned for me and the role that played in where I am today in my writing journey.

Today Rachel is speaking with Amy Carroll. She is a speaker and writer with Proverbs 31 Ministries, a coach, and author of 3 books. She is also a wife to the man she’s loved madly for 30 years and a mother to two amazing sons. She feels that God is calling her to use her voice for Him in winsome, compelling ways, and she is still learning.
Amy shares with us how she entered into the writing world as a reluctant writer, submitted several book proposals that were rejected and the story behind her first book “Breaking Up with Perfect” and how perfectionism was the thing that almost kept her from making the leap in her life. A leap that would challenge her faith, test her obedience and develop a saturated prayer life. If you are sensing a leap may be on the horizon and want to know how to manage the emotions, and resistance that you and your family may feel then this episode is for you.

Today on the podcast Rachel will be chatting with Robin Jennings. He is an author, speaker, and teacher. As Rector of St. Francis in the Fields in Louisville, Kentucky, from 1983 until his retirement in 2014, Robin has years of experience encouraging countless churches and parishioners to cast a vision — to develop their personal life plans — equipping them with the tools necessary to participate in the divine nature of Jesus Christ. He evokes a deep level of participation, for the participation he engages Christians in is not about passively exercising one’s faith. Instead, Robin believes that when we participate in Jesus’s calling in our lives, we are energetic, involved, ever-changing and actively growing through our everyday, ordinary activities in life. He charges others to see the extraordinary revealed by the grace and knowledge found through our participation in the divine nature of the very real kingdom of God.
