BONUS: How Fiction Can Grow Your Faith (with Tim Shoemaker)
We’re back with another bonus episode! These shorter episodes are always a fun way to bring you some extra podcast goodness as a way to say thank you for your support of this show. After recording this week’s episode with Tim Shoemaker (such a good one if you haven’t listened yet!), we started having a conversation about the power of Christian fiction on our faith, and I just had to hit record! Honestly, this is something I’d never been able to articulate before, but Tim broke it down so clearly. Nonfiction is written to our heads, with the hopes that part of it will trickle down to our hearts.

Loved her episode 72 on decision making (great timing at new year as we all strive for perfection) and also episode 69 on people pleasing with Karen Ehman. Highly recommend you tune in!
