Sarah Schwerin shares her story behind The Willow Still Sings and tips to equip your writing. Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. I'm your host, Linda Goldfarb. Each week, I bring tips and strategies from writing and publishing industry experts to help you excel in your craft. It's great to have you listening in. During this episode, we continue the new addition to Your Best Writing Life, The Story Behind the Stories series.Today's guest, Sarah Schwerin, a former homeschool mom, is an author, a speaker with Stonecroft Ministries, and a mentor with Word Weavers International. Her writing has appeared in publications including Mature Living, Bible Advocate, and The Upper Room. Her 1950s historical novel, The Willow Still Sings, is available now on Amazon.Tell us the story behind The Willow Still Sings·      The Willow Still Sings is loosely based on my mother's journey with polio. Her faith and compassion in the face of hardship helped me become who I am today. The end of my book includes my mom's story in her own words. I'm awed that her story can encourage and inspire others just as it did me. ·      In The Willow Still Sings, Florence struggles with misplaced guilt from her childhood, which shapes many of her reactions in the novel. My journey mirrors Florence's in that I have struggled with shame but have embraced the hope and healing only God provides. ·      After homeschooling my two sons, I began to pursue writing and speaking full-time. At my first conference, I felt overwhelmed by my lack of knowledge and the eventual rejection. At my second conference, God taught me an important lesson when I lost a contest and had to accept an award for a friend. Be happy for your writing friends and enjoy the journey. Every writer's journey is unique. Your day will come. It won't look like someone else's. But your writing will do just what God wants it to do. ·      Writing The Willow Still Sings helped me realize the truth that there is nothing new under the sun. Polio outbreaks were similar to life during the COVID pandemic. People had to quarantine, and there was widespread fear and confusion. We can learn a lot from our past. Three tips for writers.·      Research helps a story come alive for readers. Research can be conducted in a variety of ways, including my favorites: interviewing others and taking field trips. ·      Events in our lives and the lives of family members can encourage others and provide a way for our loved ones' legacies to live on. ·      Events in our lives and the lives of family members can provide “story seeds” for our current and future projects.  What will the listeners gain from your book? ·      Listeners will learn the importance of perseverance. Like Florence, we must continue to choose to love and to remain in God's calling, even when life is difficult. ·      Listeners will learn to use stories from their lives as a seed to begin or enhance their own stories. ·      Listeners will learn about the importance of research in their writing projects. Free download – Giveaway | Sarah SchwerinLINKS·      Website: sarahschwerin.com·      Amazon book link: https://a.co/d/065Jtq26 ·      Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SchwerinAuthor/·      Instagram: InstagramVisit Your Best Writing Life website.Join our Facebook group, Your Best Writing LifeYour host - Linda Goldfarb#4 Podcast 2026 "Million Podcasts Top 30 Christian Writers Podcasts"#1 Podcast 2024 "Top 50+ Must-Have Tools and Resources for Christian Writers.Awarded the Spark Media 2023 Fan Favorites Best Solo PodcastAwarded the Spark Media 2022 Most Binge-Worthy Podcast

But many believers quietly assume it's just a poetic suggestion, or it doesn't really work here on earth.In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle invites you to rediscover what Scripture actually means by delight in God. It's not emotional hype or religious performance, but a steady satisfaction rooted in who God is.Through biblical theology and practical rhythms, you'll learn how delighting in God:·      reshapes suffering·      quiets restless striving·      anchors your identity in God's unshakable delight in youLearning to delight in God is the quiet revolution that reshapes how we endure pain, love others, and understand our own hearts.Awaken Delight is a theologically grounded spiritual formation book for thoughtful believers who feel spiritually fatigued and are ready to embrace the reality of Psalm 37:4.·       Delight in God is identity-shaping, not emotion-driven.

Fifteen New Zealand restaurants now hold a coveted Michelin star, with one Queenstown restaurant being awarded two stars at a glitzy ceremony in Auckland last night. Undercover inspectors for the Michelin Guide have been secretly visiting restaurants in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown for almost a year. 110 eateries made it into the guide, with Michelin saying it's rare to award so many stars in a country's inaugural launch. Amy Williams reports.

The country's only two star Michelin chef has been left speechless over the achievement. Essence in Queenstown was the only New Zealand venue awarded two stars at last night's Michelin ceremony. Fourteen New Zealand restaurants received a single Michelin star including Kika in Wanaka, Ortega Fish Shack in Wellington, and Ahi at Auckland's Commercial Bay. Essence Head Chef Paul Froggatt told Mike Hosking it's a huge honour, and they'll still be striving for excellence. He says they're only as good as the last plate they served.

What did you think of this episode?What is your therefore factor in your writing? Today's guest shares the story behind her book and tips to empower your writing.Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. I'm your host, Linda Goldfarb. Each week, I bring tips and strategies from writing and publishing industry experts to help you excel in your craft. I'm so glad you're listening in. During this episode, you'll learn the story behind Serah and the First ChristmasToday's guest, Tama Fortner, is an ECPA award-winning author of more than sixty titles, including her latest, Serah and the First Christmas (Zonderkidz, 2026). She has collaborated with leading voices in Christian publishing to create inspirational books for all ages and lives near Nashville with her husband and two feisty pups who are convinced they're people too.Tama, please share the story behind Serah and the First Christmas.1. What was the inspiration for Serah and her story? How do the biblical stories of Rachel and Rebekah factor into both the inspiration and the plot of the story?   2. Why does Serah feel invisible? How is feeling invisible a universal feeling? How does Jesus rescue us from invisibility?  3. What is the “therefore” factor? How should it affect our approach to the stories of the Bible, as both believers and as writers?  4. When we struggle with feeling invisible ourselves, as writers, what hope can we take from Serah's story? Tips for Writers:1. Turn off the noise. Allow time and space for stillness. It's in the stillness that God speaks and creativity blooms.  2. Don't be afraid to write ugly. The best writing happens in the rewriting and editing process.  3. Embrace the power of the question “What if?” and ask it often! (What if lots of women were shepherds in Bible times, not just Rachel and Rebekah? What if a little girl wanted to be a shepherd so that she didn't feel so invisible? What if she snuck out to the fields one night and heard the angels' message about Jesus? What if she found not only Jesus that night but discovered a whole new way to live?) What will the listeners gain from your book? My hope and prayer is that readers (and writers reading the book) will remember that not only are we and our efforts never invisible to God, but we also have the joy of seeing others and helping them know that they, too, are never invisible to God. Listener giveaway…https://www.tamafortner.com/freebiesSerah and the First Christmas.

What did you think of this episode?Has it taken you forever to write your book? Today's guest shares her story behind writing her debut novel 63 Hours in Hell.Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. I'm your host, Linda Goldfarb. Each week, I bring tips and strategies from writing and publishing industry experts to help you excel in your craft. I'm so glad you're listening in. During this episode, we continue a new addition to Your Best Writing Life with The Story Behind the Stories series.My industry expert, Susan L. Davis, is an award-winning Christian author, speaker, and blogger who loves diving into Scripture and sharing what she's learning. Her debut novel, 63 Hours in Hell, blends biblical mystery with fiction to explore the three days between the cross and the resurrection. She lives in Illinois with her family.Susan - Tell us the story behind 63 Hours in HellBehind My Story  I came to faith later in life—at a funeral in my 40s—during a season of deep grief, family struggles, and searching for purpose. That moment changed everything.Before that, I devoured fiction. After accepting Jesus, I felt nudged to step away from it for a season and dive into nonfiction—Scripture, theology, and the writings of those who had gone before me. It became a time to build a strong biblical foundation and truly understand what I now believed.One question sparked the story that would eventually become my book: when Jesus said, “Today you will be with Me in paradise,” where did they go? Jesus didn't ascend to the Father until three days later. That question wouldn't let me go.Over time, everything I had been studying began shaping a story. I eventually returned to fiction—but I wasn't the same writer. I drew from that foundation to share what I had learned through 63 Hours in Hell in a way that isn't preachy, but invites readers into the story.It took me thirteen years to write this book. Looking back, I believe that's because God was shaping me as a writer just as much as He was shaping the story itself. Three tips for writers.1. Your first draft is a discovery draft.You're uncovering the story as you go—so just get it written. You can't fix a blank page. The real magic happens in the editing, so don't get overly attached to those first words. Stay flexible, because you'll revisit that manuscript again and again—and each pass makes it stronger.2. When you're stuck, step away—but stay engaged with the story.When I hit a wall, I don't force it. I step back—research, read Scripture, pray, take a walk. That's often where clarity comes. The key isn't quitting; it's staying connected to the story in a different way until the next piece falls into place.3. Borrow confidence from writers who are ahead of you.Surround yourself with people who know more than you—join a writing group or plug into an online community. Seeing what's possible and hearing their journey helps light the path for yours. Sometimes their belief in you will carry you when your own confidence is shaky. And if you're able, investing in a writing coach can accelerate your growth. What will the listeners gain from your book?    Listeners will be encouraged to keep going. This story shows that stepping into your calling doesn't mean everything suddenly falls into place—there can be resistance along the way. For anyone pursuing a dream, it's a reminder not to give up when things get hard. Sometimes the struggle is part of the journey, not a sign to stop. Not every closed door means no—sometimes it's an invitation to trust the process, keep moving forward, or be open to a different door. Listener giveaway: A free Booked and Busy guide—a 41-page printable, fillable resource with curated lists of Christian fiction to help listeners discover and track their next great reads. https://drive.google.com/file/d/15Z2niQPEYdf_viBatP9f7TKTRp8D7QqH/view?usp=sharing63 Hours In Hell the book LINKSWebsite: https://www.susanldavis.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SusanLDavisWriter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susanldavisauthor YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SusanLDavisAuthor555 X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/susanwrites Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/susanlandatodav/Visit  Your Best Writing Life website.Join our Facebook group, Your Best Writing LifeYour host - Linda Goldfarb#1 Podcast in the "Top 50+ Must-Have Tools and Resources for Christian Writers in 2024".Awarded the Spark Media 2022 Most Binge-Worthy PodcastAwarded the Spark Media 2023 Fan Favorites Best Solo Podcast

Get ready to hear today's story with Lori Stanley Roeleveld. Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. I'm your host, Linda Goldfarb. Each week, I bring tips and strategies from writing and publishing industry experts to help you excel in your craft. I'm so glad you're listening in. During this episode, we continue a new addition to Your Best Writing Life with The Story Behind the Stories series.My industry expert, Lori Stanley Roeleveld, is a writer, writing coach, speaker, devotional firestarter, and certified disturber of hobbits. She helps Christian writers find their voice, finish their books, and follow Jesus into the hidden places where real transformation begins. Her work is biblical, brave, merciful, and delightfully dangerous to the darkness.Tell us the story behind - God's Abundant Mercy: 40 Days of Living in His Compassion.Three tips for writers.a.     Write WITH God, not FOR God. Don't imagine that writing is holy, but branding and marketing are not. You can approach brand and market in a soul-satisfying way.b.     Manage your mindset and your energy, and your time/calendar will then come into line.c.     Abandon deficit thinking in favor of an abundance mindset in writing and in life. Trust God has given you everything you need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). What will the listeners gain from your book? Writers who experience God's Abundant Mercy will see what it looks like to write about Scripture with confidence and authority but without answering “all the questions” or presenting formulas. Each chapter ends with questions that my research and reflection left me asking.Readers will come away with a fresh perspective on God from the beginning of the Bible into eternity and a deeper appreciation of God's mercy for each of us and how truly receiving that mercy shapes us to reflect it to others. LINKSGod's Abundant Mercy 40 Days of Living in His Compassion: http://bit.ly/4tGGqe9You can find out more about Lori below.Coaching Website: https://www.takeheartcoachingandfreelance.com/Author Website: https://loriroeleveld.com/Substack: https://substack.com/@loriroeleveldFacebook page: https://www.facebook.com/lori.roeleveldFacebook author page: https://www.facebook.com/lorisroeleveld/Facebook page for Take Heart!

This Saturday, the inaugural Schnitzer Prize of the West will be awarded to Brad Parry, vice chairman of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation, at a ceremony at the Portland Art Museum. Parry was one of nearly 100 people from 12 states nominated for the new award, which includes $50,000 and will be given annually by the High Desert Museum in Bend in partnership with the Jordan D. Schnitzer and the Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation.    Parry is receiving the award because of his leadership of the Wuda Ogwa Cultural and Land Restoration Project, located on the site of the worst massacre of Native Americans by the U.S. military. In 1863, a U.S. Army colonel led an attack on a campsite near the Bear River on the Idaho and Utah border where the ancestors of the Northwestern Shoshone would gather in the winter. An estimated 400 people were murdered, including dozens of women, children and infants.    In 2018, the Northwestern Shoshone purchased the 350-acre property from private owners and began the painstaking process of restoring the site to what it looked like before the massacre. That includes replacing roughly 400,000 invasive Russian olive trees with willows and native plants; creating 15 acres of wetlands; bringing back beavers, trout and other native wildlife; and restoring a tributary of the Bear River to send an expected 10,000 acre-feet of water annually to the Great Salt Lake.     Parry joins us to share the significance of winning this award and the lessons he’s learned that could apply to other conservation efforts in the West.

What if everything you see, feel, and experience isn't the real world at all, but instead a meticulously rendered simulation? In this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, we dive deep into one of the most mind-bending questions in science and philosophy: Are we living in a simulation? Join Speaker A as they break down the latest Nobel Prize-winning physics experiments that challenge our basic assumptions about reality itself. From the quantum strangeness of the double-slit experiment to the mind-boggling implications of entangled particles, we explore why the universe may operate just like a video game—and what that means for everything you think you know. Get ready to have your understanding of existence turned upside down and discover why the odds that you're living in “base reality” are vanishingly small. What's up, everybody?
