Chasing Dragonflies

This week, Jayne sits down with award winning author and illustrator Hannah E. Harrison. Hannah shares her journey of finding her talent of writing and drawing as a child all the way through to a 10-year process to publish her first book. Hannah’s latest work, The Good Farmer and the Worried Donkey tackles the worry we all struggle with to perform well and be “enough” both as children and adults. You’ll be blessed to hear Hannah give glory in all things to the One whose yoke is easy and burden is light.

This week Jayne sits down with the new superintendent of MISD, Dr. Tiffanie Spencer. As a graduate of Mansfield High School, Dr. Spencer shares her long-time love of this community, along with its parents, students, and teachers. Listen in as they discuss topics such as strategies to tackle declining enrollment, leaning in to help struggling schools, honoring kids as individuals, and what it’s like to be a parent of a kindergartener with the top job in the district. It’s an episode you won’t want to miss.

What if walking through grief is more of a process than a destination? This week, Karen Ehman joins Jayne to talk about the grief all of us experience…from losing loved ones, jobs, relationships, dreams, or even our health. Karen shares some principles of leaning on God as we live with grief and gives us a preview of her latest work, Hope for the Heartbroken, co-authored with Ruth Schwenk and Amber Emily Smith.  

Whether you’ve just moved into a season of grief or are finally moving out of one, this conversation will encourage you to keep doing the little things to be restored daily by the God whose mercies are new every morning.
