Heather Thompson Day has the gift of communication, and this has led to her writing multiple books as well as teaching communication at the collegiate level and launching her recent podcast "Viral Jesus" with Christianity Today. But she is also a woman who has experienced her fair share of challenges and obstacles in her writing and life journeys, to the point at which she found herself wondering, "God, when will it be my turn? Why is it not my turn?" What she learned from those experiences taught her the importance of community, altruism, and trust in God's goodness even when it was hard to see God's hand in her life. You'll be captivated by this vibrant, vulnerable episode and encouraged in your own faith and writing journeys.
