In this episode of the Radical Radiance, host Rebecca George sits down with her literary agent, Blythe Daniel, and her daughter Calyn Daniel to discuss their newest book Let's Be Friends. This conversation talks about the challenges and frustrations of friendship, particularly for tween girls. Blythe shares about her role as a literary agent and how she helps shape and bring ideas to life, while Calyn offers her perspective on working alongside her mom and the importance of expressing thoughts and feelings through writing. Calyn Daniel is a middle schooler and loves spending time with her friends and family, including older sister, Maris, and twin brother, William, who is also an author. She is a competitive gymnast and enjoys cooking. Calyn believes girls need to know who they are in Christ, how to navigate friend groups—especially when they change—and how to not lose sight of who God has made them to be. Blythe Daniel is a literary agent and marketer with over 20 years of publishing experience. She writes for Crosswalk.com, Today's Christian Living, and Proverbs 31 Ministries. She links hundreds of bloggers with millions of readers through BlogAbout. Her passion is helping authors share their stories. She and her mother, Dr. Helen McIntosh, co-authored Mended: Restoring the Hearts of Mothers and Daughters and I Love You, Mom! Cherished Word Gifts From My Heart to Yours. Blythe lives in Colorado with her husband and three teenagers. Rebecca, Blythe and Calyn discuss: Blythe's role as a literary agent and her experience working on bringing countless books to life Calyn's perspective on working alongside her mom and seeing the behind-the-scenes of the publishing world The inspiration behind "Let's Be Friends" and how Calyn's personal experiences with friendship struggles influenced the book What it was like for the mother/daughter to collaborate on a project together Order Let's Be Friends on Amazon Join us for Advent by ordering Prepare Him Room on Amazon: Order Prepare Him Room⁠ Rebecca's Reads book for November: ⁠Order How to Resurrect a Dead Prayer Life by Bill Thrasher⁠ Sponsors: ⁠Dwell Bible App⁠ ______________________________ PSSSSSST!

With her own experiences in mind, my guest Blythe Daniel recognizes the power of the bond between a child and their mother and the potential for it to become strained or damaged over time. But just as strong is the power to mend those relationships when we humbly seek restoration guided by scripture, prayer and powerful questions. Do you long to heal the hurt between mother and daughter in your family? I believe that this conversation will give you some words to speak life into those relationships as well as offer resources to further assist in the endeavor.

Blythe is a literary agent and has co-authored two books with her mother, Helen McIntosh. Mended: Restoring the Hearts of Mothers and Daughters and I Love You, Mom!: Cherished Word Gifts from My Heart to Yours.   Take a few minutes to meditate on Mark 2:1-12 and then tune into this interview to hear where God led Blythe.   Some highlights from our conversation: We discuss how the man in this passage was physically paralyzed and needed healing – and how we might be paralyzed in other ways and also in need of healing. How Jesus not only forgave the man, but also healed him – and what that says about Jesus's true identity. What it was like for Blythe and her mom to write a book together. How her mother, Helen, broke the cycle of destructive parenting and what that taught Blythe as she parents her own children. How Blythe seeks to build bridges and not walls with her children.   The exact verses read in this podcast are Matthew 15:21-28 in the NIV.   You can find Blythe and Helen at  https://ourmendedhearts.com/ You can follow Blythe on Instagram: @blythe.daniel And on Facebook: @blythe.daniel The exact verses read in this podcast are: Mark 2:1-12, NIV A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 “Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? 9 Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk'? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

In this special Mother's Day 2022 Episode, I interview  guests, Blythe Daniel and her Mother, Dr. Helen McIntosh.   Blythe is an author, literary agent and marketer.  She has written for Proverbs 31 Ministries, Focus on the Family, Ann Voskamp and Christian Retailing.  She lives in Colorado with her husband and children.  Dr. Helen Mcintosh is an author, counselor, speaker, educator.  Her work has appeared in GuidePosts, ParentLife amd HomeLife magazines.  She resides in Georgia with her husband and they have two children and five grandchildren. In our authentic conversation, Blythe and Helen share their God story of their relationship, Helen's difficult relationship with her Mother that God helped her mend and words of encouragement to Mothers and Daughters who need healing in their relationship.   They also share great relationship nuggets from their book, Mended: Restoring the Hearts of Mothers and Daughters and their new book: I Love You, Mom! 

This week on Real Talk with Rachael, I'm talking to mother and daughter Dr. Helen McIntosh and Blythe Daniel, authors of Mended: Restoring the Hearts of Mothers and Daughters. Blythe Daniel is an author, literary agent, and marketer with 25 years of experience in media and publishing. She has written for Focus on the Family, Proverbs 31 Ministries, and Christian Retailing. She conducts blog, podcast, and publicity campaigns and helps authors publish their books. She lives in Colorado with her husband and children.​ Dr. Helen McIntosh (EdD, Counseling Psychology) is a counselor, speaker, educator, and author. Her work has appeared in several national outlets including Guideposts, ParentLife, and HomeLife magazines. She resides in Dalton, Georgia with her husband Jim. They have two children, including Blythe McIntosh Daniel, and are grandparents five times over. Key Points from Our Conversation: Moms often do the hard work without getting a thank you. Speaking encouraging words over a mom does something inside her heart and inside our hearts. If we want appreciation from our kids, we need to start by encouraging them. Being the initiator allows our kids to say kind things back to us.  When we're in a hard relationship we tend to blame the other person, but Matthew 7 reminds us to focus on the issues in our own hearts. If you have a broken relationship with your mother, remember that words bring life and death. Commit yourself to only speaking words of life. Instead of telling our children what they should be doing, we can ask them if this is an area they'd like us to speak into. Honor and be humble before the other person. Even if we get it wrong, we can ask for forgiveness. When we overhelp, it implies we think our child cannot do something well. God designed us in a way that the relationship between child and mother is foundational. You can honor a mother who didn't necessarily earn it by separating the mess from the relationship and being a blessing builder. Don't get so overwhelmed by your yeses that you can't be focused and intentional during the season while the kids are in your house. God will meet the desires of our hearts when we sacrifice for our kids. You don't have to be perfect. You're not alone in feeling underappreciated or overwhelmed. You're making a difference and you're doing well. If you feel discouraged, take it to the Lord. He'll show you what the deeper issue is.

It contains 25 word gifts, each focused on a character quality for mom and designed to express affirmation and encouragement that moms dream of hearing. Each devotion includes a Scripture verse, a story from Daniel and McIntosh about the related word gift or a biblical story, and a pre-written reflection from the perspective of the child to his or her mom using the word gift such as “You are forgiven/fearless/a servant”. Devotions include topics such as leaving a legacy, making time for yourself, choosing joy, connection, serving one another, and more. “Being a mom can sometimes be a tiring, thankless job,” says McIntosh. “But when we take a step back and realize the impact we are making on our child's life, and the critical role we play, it's humbling.” Grab your copy today in time for Mother's Day this week!

Even at a young age, and before she knew Christ, Dr. Helen set out on a mission to understand the “why” behind her mother's behavior and purposed to establish a new approach and legacy of love once her daughter Blythe was born.   Join me for this delightful conversation as Blythe and Dr. Helen share their story, insight and wisdom and encourage listeners with God's heart and His word as it applies to mother/daughter relationships.   Connect with Blythe on Instagram and Facebook Connect with Dr. Helen McIntosh on Facebook   Check out all of their resources at ourmendedhearts.com and grab a copy of I Love You, Mom just in time for Mother's Day!   I'd love to hear your favorite takeaway from today's show!  Come find me on Facebook or Instagram and leave a comment!
