Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the darkness of our world? Social media, politics, the news, cultural divides… It’s all… just a lot sometimes, you know?

If you’ve ever felt that way, you are not alone. A 2021 study showed that 3 in every 5 girls reported feeling sad or hopeless about our world!

THIS is why I knew we needed Allyson Golden to come and share with us How to Arise and Shine amidst it all. Her latest book speaks directly to How To Be a Light That Ignites Hope in a Dark World.

You might know Allyson from her popular Instagram page, @wordsaregolden — but she is also a part-time pediatric nurse, seminary student, a wife, friend, author, speaker and more.

In our conversation, we are chatting about: 

• How to embrace the “both-and” callings on our lives.
• How The Lord can use our darkest moments + deepest sources of pain for good.
• What spiritual warfare looks like when we’re living into our calling.
• Necessary spiritual disciplines we as women are tempted to avoid.

All of this + more on this week’s episode, my friends. I cannot wait for you to hear these GOLDEN words from Allyson Golden.
