What if the answer isn't to try harder, but to zoom out?

My friend, Shane Kimbrough, returned for another conversation on the podcast. As a retired NASA Astronaut, he has spent more time looking at Earth from space than most of us can imagine. In this conversation, he shares what that perspective taught him about faith, leadership, family, and finding your identity beyond your accomplishments. Together we explore why kindness matters, how to navigate change, and what it looks like to live with a bigger view of the world.

This week on the podcast, Bob sits down with singer-songwriter Matthew West for a conversation about grace, identity, availability, and what it means to live a life that actually lasts. Together, they talk about everything from faith and family to baseball hats, prison phone calls, work ethic, and the quiet courage of taking small steps forward.

If this conversation resonated with you, Matthew’s latest music and newest book carry many of the same themes: learning to stop performing, receive grace, and stay faithful one step at a time. Be sure to check out his newest album, Don’t Stop Praying, recent songs like “Good” and “Jesus is King,” and his new book Don’t Stop Praying, available now.

Writing a book can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. In this Writing Room conversation, Bob Goff, Kimberly Stuart, and Allison Trowbridge talk about what actually helps, focusing on one reader, one clear idea, and the courage to start messy and figure it out as you go. Along the way, Allie shares how her work with Copper Books is helping authors navigate the publishing process in a more thoughtful, supported way.

If you’ve been thinking about writing a book but aren’t sure where to begin, this episode is a great place to start. And if you’re ready to take a step further, Allie is hosting a Book Fair in Nashville on May 8, a one-day gathering designed to help aspiring authors understand the full journey from idea to publication and connect with others doing the same.

Life isn’t either joy or hardship, it’s often both at the same time. In this episode, Bob and Liz Bohannon talk about how to stay grounded in the middle of it all by building deep, authentic relationships. They share why vulnerability matters, how to find safe people, and what it looks like to be the kind of friend you’re hoping to have. It’s a thoughtful, encouraging conversation about showing up fully and helping others do the same.

Whether you’re knee deep in a book project or still trying to find your starting point, Bob and Kim would love to help you take the next step. Join them for a Writer's Workshop at The Oaks or learn more about Writing Coaching.

This week in The Writing Room, Bob and Kimberly sit down with Jason VanRuler to talk about what it looks like to stop overthinking and start writing.

They cover everything from building simple frameworks that hold your ideas together to knowing when it’s time to stop researching and just begin. Jason shares how to capture the stories that matter, find your own voice, and let the process unfold in a way that actually works for you.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect plan or the right moment to start your book, this might be the nudge you need. Turns out, sometimes the best way forward is just to put it down on paper and see what happens next.
