In this episode of the Behold-Her Beauty Podcast, I’m joined by my friend and Atlanta-based author, Eve Harrell.

Eve shares her powerful transition from a self-proclaimed “non-writer” to the creator of the Revealed series. We dive deep into the reality of navigating family trials—including her son’s incarceration—and how those “broken” moments became the soil for a ministry focused on helping young women find their worth as the Imago Dei.

In this episode, we explore:

* Surrendering Control: Moving from “helicopter parenting” to trusting God’s plan.

* Overcoming Anxiety: Finding peace and identity in Christ amidst heavy family trials.

* The Creative Calling: How God transformed a “non-writer” into a fiction author for His glory.

Join us as we explore what it looks like to move from broken to beloved and watch our regrets become seeds of hope.

Read, listen, and soar. 🕊️✨

About Our Guest

Hi! I’m Eve, an author and encourager who loves words and The Word. I am a daughter of the King who believes in God’s great Love and His desire to draw us near Him.

I love to take long walks through the garden of God’s creation with the Master Gardener and find the little blessings He leaves for us. It is my prayer that you will, too.

My favorite things are playing board games with the Fam, singing sweet tunes of inspiration, writing, and helping others find freedom in Christ as they realize He loves them. My passion includes helping the next generation find Jesus as we encourage them that they were made for such a time as this. May we all bloom where we are planted!
