DEBORAH HENNE, a speech-language pathologist by day and an author by night, a wife, mother, songwriter, and Jesus lover, from Pennsylvania, will join us to discuss her unique experience with the Lord at age 12; her newest book release, "Gentleness: It's Not What You Think"; her podcast show, "Sounds Like Freedom", and the release of her single, "Hallowed be Your Name". FROM HER WEBSITE: I'm almost always found typing away at my computer after tucking my kids in at night. But...I don't always write at my computer. Sometimes I can be found writing with an old-fashioned pen and paper at my keyboard. I have written prophetic songs, songs inspired by biblical revelation, and worship songs. I love how music unlocks our hearts and can transport us into the presence of God. I also love digging deeply into the Scripture, unearthing gems through word studies and putting the writings of the Bible into context. I also do tend to geek out a little on science. Many ask me how, since I am a woman of faith. My answer? Science helps us understand the natural world. Faith empowers us to live in the supernatural. Sometimes it helps to understand practical tools and steps as we take each step in our faith journey. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Sometimes, it can be both.  In my book, Gentleness: It's Not What You Think, I bare my soul to share my journey of conquering obstacles and challenges in life by pairing faith and evidence-based principles supported by science and the Bible. It is my prayer that my book inspires and encourages others to take practical steps to overcome in their lives too.  ​Life isn't about staying the same. It's not about being perfect either. It's about being "ever changed." I believe in using every tool available so we can live as overcomers and in freedom. There are tools that have been researched by scientists. There is also faith. Both have value. But in my experience, it is when we taste and experience the glory of God that we are truly transformed. It is my passion to allow God to work through me in order to connect people to His presence and glory so we can all be forever changed.  https://deborahhenne.com

M.D. HOUSE, an author from Utah, joined us to discuss his latest release, "Crossroads of Awakening Memory".  "To young trainee Rain Barynd, becoming a Council Guard in bucolic New Haven will secure a positive future that involves neither farming nor any real fighting. Impressing his girlfriend's skeptical parents and overcoming a handful of bullies among the trainees—along with the inexplicable intensity of his trainer, a decorated warrior from the East—are his greatest challenges. Or so he believes. A rare and ruthless bandit attack marks the beginning of the mayhem that engulfs Rain's childhood home and sets him on an unimaginable path that includes … his own magic? Talismans that enable travel to other worlds? Griffons and dragons, ancient nemeses thought to be long extinct? Strange metal beasts that spit bellowing fire? And even elves of fairy tale, as real as the dwarves? Amid a besom of chaos and doubt, Rain must work with members of a mysterious ancient order to piece together a growing convergence of clues long prophesied. All while trying to figure out his place in the madness. Only one thing is certain—he is not ready." FROM HIS WEBSITE: "M.D. (Mike) House semi-retired from a successful career in Corporate Finance and Business Leadership in late 2020. While most of that time was spent in the Midwest of the United States—primarily in the Chicago area—he traveled to many parts of world as he supported design, production, marketing and selling of large manufactured products like Ford vehicles, International trucks, and Sullair-branded industrial air compressors. He also did a stint in Reno, Nevada working for a gold mining company, and has been deep inside an underground mine in South America. Interesting experience. Since semi-retiring, he and his wife have lived in Cache Valley, in northern Utah, and love it there. Mike is not from Utah (though he was born there), but his mother hails from nearby Weston, ID. He has driven by Glenn Beck's ranch entrance several times, wondering if he'll ever get to see over the hill. A natural teacher and storyteller, Mike has been able to take full advantage of his semi-retirement by engaging in his love for fiction writing. He started many years ago with some science fiction, but has since expanded into Biblical and Book of Mormon historical fiction, and also fantasy. Adding his keen interests in economics and politics to life-sustaining faith, he aims to make a positive impact on the world with powerful stories of people both real and imagined. He doesn't expect to ever match “the greatest short story ever told” (Jesus's Parable of the Prodigal Son), but he'll continue to do his best." ​www.mdhouselive.com

CHASTITY DAWN, a Christian author from Georgia, will join us to discuss her latest release, "From the Wilderness to the Narrow Path: A Journey of Surrender and Course Correction Paperback". FROM HER BIO: "Hello! My name is Chastity. I'm originally from the Midwest but now l live just outside of Atlanta, GA. My book, "From the Wilderness to the Narrow Path: A Journey of Surrender and Course Correction" is a story of how God got my attention, simplified my life, and showed me what it means to not conform to the pattern of this world, which included stepping away from organized religion. In addition to sharing my personal story, I include actionable steps that may help others on their journey. Truthfully, my personal story doesn't involve overcoming anything that would be defined as extreme or extraordinary - it's just a real-life regular story that I believe others may relate to in some way or another. I share details from childhood through adulthood, multiple marriages, an affair, heartbreak, and ultimately surrender. The journey to writing my book revved up when I asked God the question, "If you can't lie, why would you tell me to pray 'Thy kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven' if it seems that I can't really have it?'" He answered, and my book is the result of that answer. When it comes to our spiritual journey, there are so many paths to explore and it can be confusing and overwhelming. Religion has turned people off with all of the corruption, deception and layers of issues running rampant in churches. I believe fully in God's Word (The Bible) but I do not call myself a Christian. I am a follower of Jesus Christ and live solely based on His instruction to "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness." Basically I am on a journey that involves continually stripping away all of the things we have been conditioned to believe about how we should live our lives, and I let the Holy Spirit lead. It's not for the fainthearted, but my life sure is a lot more simple. I love to laugh, and although the subject matter is serious business, I'm human and navigating this world just like everyone else. Walking in full relationship with God doesn't mean you need to be religious with a holier than thou attitude. I learn more and more each day what it truly means to be in this world but not of it." https://chastitydawn.com

M.D. HOUSE, an author from Utah, joined us to discuss his latest release, "Sophia", the first spinoff to his Barabbas Trilogy, which included, "I Was Called Barabbas"; "Pillars of Barabbas" ,and, "The Barabbas Legacy". From His Website:  "Thanks for showing some interest in my bio - hopefully my writing and speaking are far more interesting. I enjoyed a successful "first" career in the mysterious world of Corporate Finance, but creating and telling stories (and not about Finance) was my true love. My first full-length novel was the product of several years of very early mornings before work. It was a sci-fi work called Patriot Star, a hefty 800-page tome. ​My second novel, I Was Called Barabbas, had a very different genesis, growing as a list of scenes written at various times over several years and then finally organized into a coherent whole. Few efforts were made to utilize a mainline publisher for Barabbas, and it was ultimately published on Amazon in paperback and ebook formats using some design and editing talent from reedsy.com (from Lance Buckley and Robin Patchen). The audiobook version was soon added, voiced beautifully by Jim Cooper. One book turned into two (Pillars of Barabbas) and then a capstone to a trilogy (The Barabbas Legacy), which has been a wonderful and unexpected journey. I've raised two children with my very patient wife, and we have two grandchildren. I knew it would be fun to have grandkids, but it's even better than I expected. ​I also enjoy watching and playing sports, which is good, because it means I'm not sitting all the time … and politics, which is probably bad. Politics are fascinating and painful, and they permeate more aspects of our lives than we could possibly ever realize. Human nature is what it is, and it hasn't fundamentally changed for thousands of years. Real life is at least as strange as fiction, which is why historical fiction is so interesting to research and write. Writing is my second career, and I have a lot of stories rumbling around in my head waiting to get out. Sequels to Patriot Star are coming, as well as spin-offs to Barabbas. Several other projects, including The Barabbas Companion (a study guide) and a Christmas story, are also underway." ​www.mdhouselive.com

FROM HER BIO: "Through extensive research and personal experience, Rebecca Woulfe has discovered the importance of raising children punishment-free. She has over 30 years of parenting experience having raised four daughters without using punishment to discipline. She has shared her expertise through parenting workshops and published a 'how to' book on the topic. In her book, The Gift of a Punishment-Free Childhood: A New Way to Parent for a New World, Rebecca provides evidence of how punishment not only negatively affects the parent-child relationship, but how it also has far-reaching negative consequences for our children, ourselves, and our society.  Additionally, her book provides parents with specific examples of how to discipline children and teach them to be good humans without resorting to punishment to control their behavior. She uses humor and a non-judgmental approach to support parents, grandparents, and anyone who engages with children on how to positively interact with children and teenagers. Rebecca empowers readers to trust their instincts, address each child's unique needs, and uncover solutions that work for each family. She provides practical guidance for each stage of development so whether you are parenting a toddler, tween, or teenager, you can apply Rebecca's techniques.  Rebecca brings an engaging and lively approach to conversations about parenting, relationships, and changing the punishment paradigm to make our world a better place. She does not shy away from controversy, recognizing there are those who think punishment is critical in raising children, and is enthusiastic about engaging in this debate." rebeccawoulfe.com/home

RYAN PENLEY, a gentleman who is currently living in Florida, will join us to discuss how he got into the world of drugs and alcohol; almost died; and how he found his way out to survive and thrive in life. we will also discuss his new release, "Man Up. Sober Up: Eight Powerful Steps to Reclaim Respect, Conquer Isolation, and Thrive in Recovery". FROM HIS WEBSITE: Ryan, now 42 years old, knows the highs and lows of life like few others. Raised in Florida and having lived in both the bustling nightlife of Las Vegas and the serene landscapes of Colorado, he faced trials that led him to the brink, from homelessness to lying in a coma. Along the way, he tasted financial success but also the bitter pill of losing it all. At the age of 13, he fell into the treacherous world of drugs and alcohol. For years, he prioritized the fleeting pleasures of a party lifestyle over meaningful connections and self-responsibility. After hitting rock bottom, a moment of awakening guided him to a new path—one of sobriety, self-respect, and a dedication to aiding others in their recovery journey. With more than four years of hard-won sobriety, Ryan has transformed his life's adversities into valuable lessons for those still struggling with addiction. Today, he lives a life that is unimaginably blessed, exceeding even his own expectations. His debut book, "Man Up. Sober Up.," serves as both a testament to his resilience and a practical guide for those seeking to reclaim control over their lives. More than a survivor, Ryan is a beacon of hope for those still battling their demons.

LISABETH THOMAS, a media and marketing "whiz kid", as well as the founding president of "Texas Women in Business", will join us to discuss the horrifying activity of child trafficking, and what she and her colleagues are doing to combat this evil practice.  FROM HER WEBSITE: "We cannot protect against what we are not aware of. Did you know that between 2018 and 2022 the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) saw a 567% increase in reports relating to sexual enticement of a child? Not on Our Watch Texas (NOWTX) is rallying all women in business to raise awareness of online abuse, exploitation, and sextortion to help protect children and youth. It will take all of us to educate our families, schools, churches, and other communities on how to defend our children from online predators. Most parents think they can keep their children safe from predators who are “out there.” But most parents don't realize these abusers are not “out there,” increasingly, they are inside our children's bedrooms, via smartphones, computers, & gaming devices. The smartphone is the new white van." notonourwatchtx.com lisabeththomas.com

KIM A. LARSON, a Christian author from Minnesota, joined us to discuss her book, "Unraveling Fairy Tales - Learning to Live Happily Ever After". FROM HER WEBSITE: Kim Larson writes in a variety of genres, for the youngest to the oldest of readers. Her debut picture book, Goat's Boat Won't Float, will be released in the fall of 2024. She's published a devotional-style Bible study, Unraveling Fairy Tales: Learning to Live Happily Ever After, and a dozen poems and short stories in regional anthologies. When she's not writing, you may find Kim working in her garden or playing Sequence with her husband. I grew up on a farm in Minnesota with loving parents and four younger siblings. Life in the 1960s and '70s was much simpler, and my parents let us roam freely. The hayloft, farm animals, and my goofy siblings kept me entertained. Maybe that's why I didn't enjoy reading as a child—despite what this photo depicts. Thankfully, that changed in fourth grade. My teacher, Mrs. Zimmerman, read wonderful books to the class. Two of my favorites were Charlotte's Web by E. B. White, and From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg. Sensing my reluctance to read on my own, my teacher suggested I read The Boxcar Children series by Gertrude Chandler. I loved these stories so much that I imagined becoming a writer someday. That dream lay dormant for many years—until I had children. Every night I read to my two boys before bed. I also made up stories, casting Jordan and Jesse as heroes. During the daytime, I helped people's dream of homeownership come true by originating mortgage loans. When my boys were grown, it was finally time to pursue my own dream! When I'm not writing, you may find me searching my flowerbed for monarch caterpillars. (Watch one emerge from its chrysalis here!) I collect flower and vegetable seeds in the fall to plant the following spring. I'm frugal and a homebody, so strolling no farther than my garden for fresh lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes brings me joy. But nothing is more important to me than my faith, family, and friends. https://kimalarson.com

GAYLE WEILL, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from Maryland, will join us today to discuss mental health, as well as her specialties, which include anxiety, relationships, parenting, and adoption. FROM HER WEBSITE: "You know there's something keeping you from your best life. I'm here to help you figure out what that “something” is. I work with women who want to overcome feelings of anxiety, kick parenting stress to the curb, navigate issues related to adoption, and learn how to communicate better with the people they love.  You may have spent a long time working through these things on your own: you've journaled, reflected, and tried to understand what's going on under the surface. Now, you're looking for someone who can help you go deeper, to provide the perspective & feedback you need to change your life and relationships. You're not expecting a magic wand—you're expecting someone who will dig in with you. ​That's exactly what I'm here to do." gayleweilllcsw.com

MARK STOUFFER, a career-long engineer, and now an author of Biblical books, will join us to discuss his latest release, "Hesed: Does the Tanakh Foreshadow Jesus?" FROM HIS WEBSITE: "Mark graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering from Ohio State in 1983. However, the economy was bad at that time, and he was unable to get a job in engineering. Over the next 14 months, he struggled working such jobs as door to door sales and maintenance work at a country club. It was not an easy time, but it was the time that G-d chose to reach out to Mark. Despite Mark's selfishness, thoughtlessness, arrogance, and other character flaws, G-d pursued Mark to rescue him. G-d held Mark's heart in His hand and said, “I am here.” Mark received Jesus into his heart as his L-rd and Savior, and everything changed. In 1984, Mark took a job with the Ohio Department of Transportation and has worked in engineering ever since. He has worked on multiple high-profile highway projects and other public works projects. One of his ongoing responsibilities has been to write engineering reports and manuals. In 1990, Mark married Noushi and his life took another turn for the better. Mark and Noushi have had the privilege to be parents to both a son, Paul, and a daughter, Leila (pictured above). ​Mark has led home churches with his wife and taught the Bible for many years. A few years ago, he felt the urge to write a book. He thought he would write a book about the Bible to Muslims, as he has studied the Qur'an for many years. Then one night, at 3:00 a.m., he awoke with many thoughts on his mind. He got up and typed out an entire chapter. But it was not for Muslims; it was for Jewish people. In that moment, and ever since, Mark has felt led by G-d to write this series of books. May it be a blessing to you." https://lovingkindnessofadonai.com

FAITH C. ECHO, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from Connecticut, will join us to discuss her horrifying time with an abusive and narcissistic partner; her escape; how she is now helping others; and her book, "Rising From Ashes - A Testament of Strength and Survival After Narcissistic Abuse". FROM HER WEBSITE: "With unflinching honesty, I've written a memoir called Rising From Ashes - A Testament of Strength and Survival After Narcissistic Abuse. It recounts the hell that nearly destroyed me and my children - a four year relationship with a malignant narcissist. My very personal narrative is blended with information, advice, and tools that will give hope to any victim of similar abuse. If I can help at least one person, then my mission will be complete.  ​Hearing other victims' stories is what helped me hang on and recognize what a narcissist is and finally see that I was in a toxic, abusive relationship and needed to get out to survive. My experience needs to be shared to help other victims, possibly saving their lives and those of any children involved. People need to know about this insidious disease and how detrimental it is. NPD destroys lives and can even be deadly." www.faithcecho.com

She discovered early that humanity is a tangled mystery, and that to understand our fellow travelers, and to thrive in difficult relationships, it helps to acknowledge truth, and then proceed accordingly. To support her writing habit, she became a nurse and settled in the realm of addiction and psychiatric medicine. She finds people-in all their complex and varied lifeforms-completely fascinating.  She lives in Utah with her husband. Her four children, who have multiplied at an impressive rate, keep her happily engaged with a whole new generation. So, fun fact about me: I'm a messy writer and I like it that way. I'm super tidy everywhere else in my life, but my office is exactly how I like it. I don't like interruptions or noise, but I have a noisy hubs...who interrupts...a lot. Sigh. I love him. Fun fact number two: I was ten when I wrote my first story. It was about a 4th grade substitute teacher I had while my beloved Mrs. Peeler went off and had a baby. (How could she!) I shocked myself with the degree of bottled up dislike I had for this poor guy, but in all fairness I can still, lo these many moons later, recall his effect on me. I wrote a story about him wherein he ended up dead. Dead! I know! What was wrong with me? And it filled me with such consuming turmoil that my pure little conscience could not take it. I'm not kidding, I could not erase fast enough. When I recovered, I gave the old meany a full-body rash and no fingernails which was infinitely easier to live with (for me, not him). But, oh the power! I was utterly addicted. At ten, I held life (and tormenting skin conditions) on the end of my trusty #2 pencil. I never looked back. I was a writer. A little twisted, obviously, but a writer. Have you ever gone all in on something? Something that means the world to you, but not all that much to anyone else? It's a tricky place to be—that jumping off place into whatever-happens-it's-on-me. I've always found it much easier to hand responsibility to someone else, and blame them when it fails. At least where my books are concerned. That's my comfort zone. My job was writing. It was definitely not the mechanics of publishing, marketing, hustling, and selling myself. I've been quite happy to leave that to agents and editors and publishers and publicists and live my life as the semi-introvert that I imagine myself to be. And that worked out fine until my great agent left for an unturndownable opportunity, and my amazing editor abruptly left Simon & Schuster and Simon & Schuster didn't know what to do with me because I had no editor.  ​So...my novel and I became casualties of an industry peopled by people with bigger fish to fry. What was I going to do. Well… Here's the deal: The Duzy House of Mourning is my fish. So, I got myself to that tricky place... And lived to tell about it. If anyone is interested in my self-publishing journey, I am happy to share. Email me. www.kahancock.com

CHASTITY DAWN, a Christian author from Georgia, will join us to discuss her latest release, "From the Wilderness to the Narrow Path: A Journey of Surrender and Course Correction Paperback". FROM HER BIO: "Hello! My name is Chastity. I'm originally from the Midwest but now l live just outside of Atlanta, GA. My book, "From the Wilderness to the Narrow Path: A Journey of Surrender and Course Correction" is a story of how God got my attention, simplified my life, and showed me what it means to not conform to the pattern of this world, which included stepping away from organized religion. In addition to sharing my personal story, I include actionable steps that may help others on their journey. Truthfully, my personal story doesn't involve overcoming anything that would be defined as extreme or extraordinary - it's just a real-life regular story that I believe others may relate to in some way or another. I share details from childhood through adulthood, multiple marriages, an affair, heartbreak, and ultimately surrender. The journey to writing my book revved up when I asked God the question, "If you can't lie, why would you tell me to pray 'Thy kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven' if it seems that I can't really have it?'" He answered, and my book is the result of that answer. When it comes to our spiritual journey, there are so many paths to explore and it can be confusing and overwhelming. Religion has turned people off with all of the corruption, deception and layers of issues running rampant in churches. I believe fully in God's Word (The Bible) but I do not call myself a Christian. I am a follower of Jesus Christ and live solely based on His instruction to "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness." Basically I am on a journey that involves continually stripping away all of the things we have been conditioned to believe about how we should live our lives, and I let the Holy Spirit lead. It's not for the fainthearted, but my life sure is a lot more simple. I love to laugh, and although the subject matter is serious business, I'm human and navigating this world just like everyone else. Walking in full relationship with God doesn't mean you need to be religious with a holier than thou attitude. I learn more and more each day what it truly means to be in this world but not of it." https://chastitydawn.com
