Talking with Joy Beth Smith is like walking into a warm hug. She is instantly someone you want to pull up a chair next to and have a conversation with.  She is equally deep and hilarious. We talk about her journey into the writing world and her beautiful and poignant perspective about Singles in the Church. She strives to bring understanding and put skin on our brothers and sisters, but also equips us with ideas about how to love the Singles in our lives better.
