Dear Daughters

Will Davis Jr. is a pastor, writer, mountain-climber, intense human, father, and my own sweet husband. Together we started Austin Christian Fellowship in 1993. He's passionate about surprising unbelievers with the credibility and relevance of Jesus' message, and teaching about the power of prayer. He's written ten books, writes online at willdavisjr.com

Even more important, he's been an incredible dad to three pretty fabulous children (including our Sara, pictured with him above … how could I not include the most recent wedding photos??!).

We talked a lot about parenting, letting go, good family relationships and prayer.

I can't wait for you to meet Will. Here's the interview on Dear Daughters Episode 42.

She has lived all over the country but loves the South (and as you will hear ... the Central Time Zone ;). She writes on the internet at www.lindseynobles.com and currently consults for non-profits.

"What does it look like to love God for the next ten minutes? What does it look like to love the person in front of me for the next ten minutes? That's the Great Commandment." ~ Jan Johnson

Jan Johnson is a spiritual director, speaker, instructor at Richmont Graduate University, and writer of 22 books (!!). She says that everything she writes or speaks on flows out of these three areas: spiritual formation, partnering with God in caring for the voiceless, and living with purposeful intentionality. Isn't that lovely? She lives in Simi Valley California with her husband, has two adult children and two little grandbabies. In Heaven we're going to try to live next door to each other. ;) I can't wait for you to meet her today on DD Episode 33.
