A Quiet Life

John Zeckendorf shot to fame by being the first Tasmanian to climb Mt Everest. He has talked in many venues about his experiences, but I wanted to learn more about the rest of his life.

John tells us how breaking up your relationship with a non-Christian may just be the way to bring them to Christ.

We talk about witnessing to Jewish people, witnessing in the workplace, and praying those special conversations in to being. And we also talk about the many ways that mountain climbing is a metaphor for life.

Romans 7:19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.

Jenny tells us about losing her mother to breast cancer at 16 and how that affected her own journey into motherhood. From her own experiences Jenny has a heart for mothers, especially those who are feeling lost or lonely and who don’t have people to turn to. To meet this need she has started a blog and podcast that can be found at www.treasuringmothers.com.

We talk about the journey to the development of the podcast, and the long apprenticeship that God took her on, building her skills so that she is now able to reach out in this way.

We also talk about women standing alongside men, working with them to build the kingdom. Jenny encourages us not to hold back, but to use the skills that we have to do what God is calling us to do.

Jenny Transcription

Today’s podcast is just me, answering the questions that I set for others. I thought it was time that I shared a bit about myself, and also that I challenged myself with the questions.

I talk about my long journey of always knowing God, but also committing myself to him at different levels.

I also talk about the various jobs I’ve had through my life, and my trials in finding a career choice that was congruent with my personality. I share about how I bring my faith into what I do now, as an author of novels as well as an author of more solid Christian books.

This is not the whole story. There are so many things that God has done in my life that I don’t share about here. But it’s a little about myself in the short time available.

Ephesians 6:18 ‘And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.’
