- Bonus Ep. 11 Wrapping Up Jacob chp. 8
We've read a lot about Jacob, but as we wrap up his story I was reminded once again that we don't have to be perfect to be used by Him. Jacob is improving and growing in the ways of the Lord, and that's what's important. Personally, I was disappointed that after all these years he was still showing favoritism to Rachel; It frustrated me. But Jacob doesn't need to meet my expectations. He is complete in the Lord!
I pray that you enjoy this FREE audio version of The Relevant Old Testament.

31 min - You're Already Seen
Jen and I have a good healthy dose of REAL TALK in this episode. We talked about how unrealistic expectations hold you back, feeling unworthy, anxiety, disordered eating, the perks of self-publishing, the benefit of a healthy perspective, and our relationship with Christ! There is something for everyone in this episode. Jen said something during the interview that I felt fit all of these topics under one umbrella, and it was the concept of already being seen, and being known.
Whether we acknowledge it or not there is a strong desire in each of us to be known. I know I have felt it and still do, but the truth is we are already known. We are already seen by our creator, and this is good news! Holding this healthy perspective helps us to battle and conquer all of our struggles.
Jen says:
I was born and raised in New Jersey where I still live today with my husband, kids, and dog. In addition to this, I have been a special education teacher in the same school for over fifteen years now. While I have been writing my entire life, I started to work on this two part series, The Art of a Messy House, eight years ago. Then, after a time of fasting in 2019, I was prompted to let go of the past and “become who I needed when I was younger.” This turned my childhood wishes into my work and I started publishing. In addition to this, being a middle school English Language Arts teacher not only adds experience to my writing, but also passion to my purpose. My main mission in life is serving God. Inspired by my faith and love for my family and friends, I now live to bring positivity to others each day. So far, I have published How to Be Kind and How to Be Fearless, two books in The Art of the Messy House children’s part of the series. The Art of a Messy House is part of my mission to mainstream faith in a way that brings hope to others. After I was set free from decades of battling anxiety, anorexia nervosa, and depression, I promised never to stop sharing this joy and love with others as I learn to love my mess.Connect with Jen!

46 min - Lazy & Being Still- Are They The Same?
Inside today's podcast, I have with me Carrie Cotton.
Carrie and I have a great conversation about Being Still (and how it doesn't just mean doing nothing). We talked about our circle of influence in spreading the gospel, our families, and writing! There's something for everyone!
Being still is a mindful practice.
"We are just trying to toss in enough rest so that we don't die." - Carrie Cotton. When Carrie said this during our interview my exact response was "oh my goshhhhhhh!" This is how most of us are living!
Carrie is a life-long writer, exploring her passion for creative storytelling from a young age. She grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and attended East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, Texas where she earned a BA in English. She currently lives with her husband and four children in the quaint Appalachian mountain town of Grassy Creek, North Carolina. When she's not writing or homeschooling, you can find her enjoying the fresh air and sunshine on the family farm.
Carrie loves to write emotionally charged and gripping fiction, but above all, she seeks to glorify God with her words, and always point her readers towards Jesus.Get her books here!

42 min - Bonus Ep. 10 Saul and David-Chapter 7 (pt.2)
This might just be my favorite chapter in The Relevant Old Testament!! I love the message of Saul and David's story.
Are you a Saul and David? Tune into chapter 7 (pt. 2) in its audio version!!
Saul was not a bad guy, just like there are so many of us who aren't "bad people," but our relationship with Jesus is very much at a surface level. We might get heavily into our religion for a while, into our church, into outreach programs, etc., and those things are great, but if we aren't digging down deep into the pit of our hearts and revealing them to God as a form of surrender, then we are like Saul.

40 min - Bonus Ep.8 Chapter 6 Jacob
We now know Jacob pretty well, but to make sure we keep our story straight, let’s summarize. Jacob is the younger son of Isaac. He left his home after deceiving his brother Esau (with the help of his mother Rebekah) and has been staying with Laban (her brother) in the land of Paddan-aram. Jacob worked seven years for his bride only to be tricked and given Leah (the older sister) instead. Laban agreed to give Jacob Rachel too (the one he really wanted), and together they had a lot of babies!
Jacob has shown a wonderful work ethic and has done well by his father-in-law Laban. God has continued to bless Jacob and show him favor. Not everything has been easy, but through all the hiccups and snags in his marriages, Jacob has kept a good attitude, and I believe that this exemplifies the work that God is doing in his heart.
Let's see what happens in chapter 31 of Genesis!
The new free audio version is available of The Relevant Old Testament- Illuminating Lessons From Imperfect People!
I was inspired to create my own audio version of my book, The Relevant Old Testament for people who want to listen during their commute, or while doing the dishes.
It is still recommended to sit down and go through this book as it involves a lot of one-on-one writing time with God, but I believe you will still find this audio version helpful as you get started.
Each chapter will be recorded as its own episode. I hope you will utilize this great resource and share the listening links with your friends!
