Welcome to Season 8 Episode 087, where we're exploring the theme "Who Told You No?"! In this episode Kim and Sandee chat about the challenges of publishing her writing and what her no season looked like.

Sandee Macgregor, was educated and trained as a teacher, but she is also an inspired writer, and the creator and founder of the popular web site Sovereign Radiance. It is a hope-filled place for mothers where they can be encouraged with the truth of the gospel, while reminding them they are not alone in their journey. She is the author of two top-selling devotionals, A Mother-Daughter Devotional and Shared Journal Experience for Psalm 119 and A Devotional for Mothers and Sons: Walking in Wisdom Through Proverbs, which both encourage and enable the building of a deeper spiritual bond between a mother and her daughter(s) and her son(s) through reading Scripture devotional segments together. Now she has blessed us with her new delightful children’s illustrated book targeted at younger children, Can I Take It To Heaven.
