Bir zamanlar sadece “Benim için bir resim çiz” gibi basit isteklerle başlayan bu yolculuk, bugün yazılım şirketlerinde süreç geliştirmeden proje yönetimine kadar geniş bir alana yayılmış durumda.

How can we respond to misunderstood promises? Host Tina Yeager sits down with Hannah Pierrou—storyteller, artist, author, and founder of Treehouse Storytellers—to explore the topic of misunderstood promises, especially those that shape our families and culture. Together, they discuss: Cultural Promises vs. God's Truth: How our society's shifting narratives affect both adults and kids, and what it means to reclaim biblical promises in the face of distortion. The Rainbow's True Meaning: Drawing from her new children's book, Misunderstood: A Girl with a Promise the World Forgot, Hannah shares the story of the rainbow from a God-centered perspective, and how its meaning has been reclaimed through creative storytelling. Creativity as Worship: Hannah opens up about the powerful connection between creativity and our identity as image-bearers of God, encouraging us to embrace art and storytelling as acts of worship. Helping Our Kids Stand Firm: Practical advice for parents to build strong, grace-filled foundations at home—equipping children to navigate conflicting messages with compassion and biblical truth. Finding Healing and Identity: For those who have been hurt or left empty by the world's counterfeit promises, Hannah and Tina talk about God's compassionate path to healing and the unshakeable identity we find in Christ. Resource Spotlight: Curious about Hannah's new book or her mission with Treehouse Storytellers? Visit thetreehousestoryteller.com for her creative resources, podcast, and more. Reflect & Flourish: As this episode reminds us, misunderstood promises are all around, but God's Word stands true.

There are only two words standing between you and the book you've always wanted to write, the business you want to start, and yes, even millions of dollars. Just two words. According to the University of Scranton, 92% of New Year's resolutions fail—and it's because nobody knows about these two powerful words. Here's the thing: nothing is successful on the first attempt. Nothing. Fear isn't afraid of your first try (we're a single-serve culture), but it's terrified you'll take that second step. In this episode, I'll break down the four main reasons people don't try again—from the hurt of the last attempt to mentally rehearsing failure until it becomes a tattoo instead of henna. Plus, I'll share how trying again got me through writing my 11th book after throwing away three half-finished drafts. Because here's what I need you to know: trying again isn't failure or embarrassing—it's the first gigantic leap toward mastery.In This Episode:Grab a Soundtrack Conversation Deck for that overthinker in your life today!Make sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!My new book All It Takes Is a Goal is available!

Debut novelist Christine Hill Suntz has come up with a fabulous marriage of convenience story in this Christian historical romance, The Lawyer and the Laundress. Listen in to learn about the author's unexpected connection to the surrounding historical events! note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  Christine and I chatted about how much she loves romance, about the three-day rebellion of 1837, and how there were TWO rebellions--an "upper" and a lower one." Furthermore, she shared about her next novel and how it relates to this book.  I personally can't wait to read that one, too! The Lawyer and the Laundress by Christine Hill Suntz Lawyer James Kinney isn't looking for love, and laundress Sara O'Connor doesn't want to be found. When their paths cross in a British colony on the brink of rebellion, a marriage of convenience may be their best hope of survival. Canada, 1837. Widower James Kinney knows his precocious daughter, Evie, needs more than his lessons on law and logic, but Toronto offers few options. Classes with the neighbor children seem ideal until James discovers Evie is secretly spending her time with Sara O'Connor, a kind and mysteriously educated servant. For propriety's sake, James forbids their friendship. But then Evie falls victim to the illness ravaging the city, and James must call upon Sara's medical knowledge and her special bond with Evie to save his daughter's life. When Sara's presence in his household threatens scandal, however, James offers an unexpected solution: become his wife, in name only, and help him raise Evie to be a proper young lady. If Sara can ignore the sparks she feels when they're together, his logical proposal could keep her secret secure forever. But soon, the forces of rebellion unravel their tidy arrangement. When James is accused of treason, Sara must find the courage to face a past that could save her husband's life. Clean and wholesome, marriage-of-convenience historical romance Filled with love, faith, and adventure Inspirational historical fiction that's perfect for fans of Julie Klassen, Laura Frantz, and Tamera Alexander Includes discussion questions for book clubs Learn more about Christine on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub.

Spoiler alert: I listened to Shadowed Witness immediately following. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  Suspense is a broad category, but sometimes suspense borders on thriller. Angela and I had a great chat about the world and the circumstances in which she's set her characters. Shadowed Witness by Angela Carlisle  A haunting attack. A killer in the shadows. A protective love. Murder--that's what photographer Allye Jessup knows she witnessed as she departed her studio one evening. Waking with bruises on her neck and a foggy memory, she believes she survived an attack, but everyone seems to think she simply sustained a head injury from falling down the stairs outside her studio. Plagued by an undiagnosed health condition, she is torn between the haunting reality of what she may have seen and the possibility that her mind is playing tricks on her. Without proof the other victim ever existed, Detective Eric Thornton can hardly declare the area a murder scene. Still, he adds Allye's report to his already full caseload. But when new evidence surfaces to support her claims, Eric must stay one step ahead of a ruthless killer and uncover the truth before the suspect closes in on Allye again.

In this episode of Quillette Cetera, Zoe Booth speaks with Harvard fellow and Cornell PhD Adam Szetela—author of new book That Book Is Dangerous: How Moral Panic, Social Media, and the Culture Wars Are Remaking Publishing (MIT Press, 2025). A working-class kid turned literary insider, Szetela exposes what he calls “the sensitivity era”: a cultural climate in which books are cancelled before they're published, authors are shamed into grovelling apologies, and sensitivity readers act as ideological enforcers—surveilling fiction for offence. Drawing on eye-opening examples and experimental research conducted at Cornell's Social Dynamics Lab, Szetela explains how peer pressure alone can turn readers against even canonical figures like Allen Ginsberg. He also reflects on the publishing industry's class divide, the fragility of elite institutions, and why pro wrestling and bodybuilding may offer a better education than the Ivy League. From J.K. Rowling and Goodreads mobs to the politics of soccer and masculinity—this is a frank and timely discussion about literary freedom in an age of moral panic. Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you ever felt overlooked? In today's episode, host Tina Yeager sits down with Mary DeMuth—literary agent, prolific author, and podcaster—to talk about the universal experience of feeling overlooked and misunderstood. Drawing from her latest book, The Most Overlooked Women of the Bible, Mary shares her own story of walking through pain and isolation, particularly within church communities, and offers honest insight on coping with being unseen and undervalued. Together, Tina and Mary explore the emotional weight of being overlooked, the challenge of rebuilding trust after betrayal, and how to process those feelings through both faith and safe community. Mary reminds us of our inherent worth as individuals created in God's image and encourages listeners to seek healing—not in isolation, but with trusted people who can walk through the journey with us. Stay tuned for encouragement, practical steps toward healing, and a much-needed reminder that you are not alone. If you've ever struggled to feel seen, this episode is especially for you. Highlights from this episode include: You're Not Alone: Mary and Tina talk about how common it is to feel isolated or insignificant, especially when comparing our lives to the “highlight reels” of others on social media. Honest Community: Healing often starts by sharing openly with safe, trustworthy people. Mary offered practical advice on how to recognize supportive relationships and protect your own heart. Faith & Worth: The foundation of our worth doesn't come from others, but from being created in God's image. Mary reflected on the importance of lamenting our pain, processing it with God and community, and slowly rebuilding trust. Steps Toward Healing: Acknowledge your pain, talk to a safe person, and don't shy away from grieving. Real, healthy community is a vital part of true healing. Mary's wisdom is a timely reminder—if you're feeling overlooked right now, you aren't “the only one.” There's hope and community waiting for you, just as you are. Want to dive deeper?

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! Did you guys ever see those ads for the Rejuvenique face mask? It was this electric face mask that looked like it was straight out of Friday the 13th.  The guy on the infomercials was like “imagine what doing 8 situps a second could do for your abs! Well, Rejuvenique is doing exactly that… but with your face!”  Well, apparently, years later, the FDA issued a warning about this miracle device. Turns out, the Rejuvenique face mask was actually causing their skin to sag and age *more.*  I could be wrong, but it makes me feel like it will only be another ten years before someone realizes that LED lights are *ALSO* doing more harm than good.  And this sent me down a rabbit hole of beauty devices that are secretly, silently, killing us. From UV lights at the nail salon to asbestos in hair dryers… I have some questions. So today, we are dipping our polished little fingertips into the world of deadly beauty tools. Because it turns out some of the stuff we do to feel cute - like the innocent little gel manicure - might come with a major dark side. Buckle up for the dark history of deadly beauty tools!

Racing the Shadows – CH Hooks on Can't Shake the Dust In this compelling episode of Read Between the Lines, host Molly Southgate sits down with acclaimed author C.H. Hooks to talk about his powerful new novel, Can't Shake the Dust. The story follows “Little” Bill Lemon III as he struggles to outrun a family legacy filled with hardship, violence, and resilience. From the gritty cages of The Monkey Palace—his grandfather's rough-and-tumble bar—to the questionable ventures of his parents, Little finds his escape on the dirt track every Saturday night. In a car that barely runs, he races not just for victory, but for redemption in the backroads of the South. Hooks masterfully captures the weight of legacy, poverty, and perseverance in a world where there's never enough—money, opportunity, or even soap to wash away the Georgia red dirt. With its heart-pounding scenes and unflinching truths, Can't Shake the Dust is a southern tale you won't forget.

Hi friends, happy Tuesday! I've been putting out episodes of MMM for a while now, but occasionally I come across a story that shakes me to my core. And keeps me up at night. This is one of them. The story of Ottis Toole (and his literal partner in crime Henry Lee Lucas) involves cannibalism, a cult and even a cameo by Ted Bundy. The horrific actions of Ottis even went on to help inspire the man who created of a TV show we all remember from our youth... America's Most Wanted. The story of Ottis Toole is one you will not forget for a long time to come. Also, I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out.

I'm going old school today—70s and 80s motivational guru style. You know those thick plastic binders with cassette tapes that made you want to run through walls? That's the energy I'm bringing. This episode is different. It's a short, highly motivational boost designed to be replayed whenever you're discouraged and need that little bit of juice. Because today isn't just another average Monday—there's no such thing as average days when we're guaranteed none and given this one. Today is an adventure, an invitation to edge country where anything is possible. We can plan and predict, but the day speaks in dares, not formulas. So download this one, save it for a rainy day, and remember: killing your dreams because you're afraid they might get bruised is a trade-off you should never make.

 I've been excited to chat with Sara Brunsvold about The Atlast of Untold Stories since the last time I talked with her. Listen in to hear about this epic literary road trip that brings three women together note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  From Willa Cather to Frank L. Baum and Harold Bell Wright (among others), three women climb into an AC-free SUV and learning more about these authors, their books, and each other than they might have expected. The Atlas of Untold Stories by Sara Brunsvold A literary journey beckons them . . . and may profoundly rewrite their stories. Chloe Vance, dreamer of the family, needs to tell her pragmatic mom, Edie, that she has accepted a low-paying art instructor role at a Christian school in Prague. Her older sister, Lauren--the "responsible one"--is doing all she can to hide the fact she's been fired for a foolish mistake and is desperately seeking her next career move. Meanwhile, Edie, estranged from her own sister following their mother's recent death, is frankly in no mood for anything else to change. The one thing they can all agree on? Life in books sure is easier to navigate than life in the real world. As the three women embark on a nine-day road trip to visit significant literary sites throughout America's heartland, they hope to find inspiration through the works and lives of literary greats. As they experience firsthand the adventure and wonder of the classics, they'll discover the value of being honest with themselves--and their family--about their losses and failures. Only then can they come to terms with their own needs and desires and find support from the most important women in their lives--each other. Book clubs will relish this trek through America's classic literature as award-winning author Sara Brunsvold pens an inspirational novel of mother-daughter relationships, sisterhood, literary themes, a cross-country road trip, and books about books.

 Oh, my. Anytime I have a chat with Dana Mentink, I know I'm going to have a great time AND get obsessed with a new book. This one is no different. Listen in and see why Fire Mountain is at the top of my fall reading list! note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  Well, this book erupts with smashing opening! (Okay, cheesy description, but come on!  Couldn't resist!) A woman long hauler?  A volcano? A baby from out of nowhere?  Dana has really gone all out on this one! Fire Mountain by Dana Mentink Fire rains from above as they fight to discover the truth and stay alive. In the shadow of a threatening volcano, long-haul trucker Kit Garrido wakes up in her crashed big rig, unable to recall what happened or why she's suddenly in possession of someone's baby. Fiercely independent, she has to admit that perhaps this time she could use a little help. As the threat of eruption grows, former cop Cullen Landry refuses to leave his cabin in the evacuation area, which is why he's the only one left who can help Kit escape the crumpled cab of her truck. He doesn't want to get tangled up in the mystery of the beautiful woman with an abandoned infant, but when he sees the bullet hole in the windshield and the bloody handprint on the interior, he realizes that he's in this thing, like it or not. When two armed men with ill intent approach, the race is on to stay alive, discover the truth, and find the baby's missing mother--all while a deadly mountain rains fire from above.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! I always wanted to date Robbie Sinclair from Dinosaurs. Anyone else? [CRICKETS] So whenever I drive by a Sinclair gas station, you know, the one with the dinosaur logo? I always think of him. His spiky hair. That letterman jacket.  I don't care that he was a foam puppet. I was eight and I knew what I wanted. And what I wanted… was Robbie.  I was so distracted by my thoughts of Robbie that I never realized Sinclair Oil had a dark secret. And the whole time it was hiding in plain sight.  Back in the 1920s, oil was the new gold. Because out of nowhere, all of a sudden, everything was running on it. Literally. Cars and airplanes were taking over. And if World War 1 taught us anything, it was that we needed an emergency stash of oil for the military… Just in case.  It was like a gold rush… but with oil. And when there's money on the table, somebody's gonna get greedy. This is how a *huge*  government scandal happened. I'm talking corruption, shady deals, and millions of dollars stuffed into a black briefcase.  Today we're diving into one of the dirtiest scandals in U.S. history.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! I don't know if this is happening to any of you out there, but suddenly, everyone I know is having a baby. Which means I'm looking at one baby registry after another. Honestly I don't mind, I love buying baby stuff. It's so little and cute.  But lately, I've noticed that the stuff people have on their registry is *next level.* Now, everyone gets wipe warmers… so the wipes that touch the baby's butt aren't cold.  There's toy subscriptions for infants, so your baby's mental development stays on track. They even make these mini dishwashers just for baby bottles. What else will they think of?? The baby industry is worth over *$358 billion dollars.* I me an, things have come LONG way. But it was always like this, it used to be *way* simpler. But does that mean it was better?  Turns out, there is a shocking history behind baby products I had never heard about. Many products that were marketed to parents to *help* their babies actually ended up seriously hurting or even killing them.  And with new baby products popping up every day, I'm wondering… are we doomed to repeat the past?  I can *not* wait to hear your thoughts on this one - whether you're a parent or not. Welcome to the Dark History of Toxic Baby Products!  I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out.
