AN UPLIFTING DEVOTIONAL ENCOURAGING READERS TO TAKE HOLD OF EACH DAY AND MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY MOMENT.None of us knows how long we have on this earth. We can't be sure how many tomorrows God hasplanned for us. But we do have today. What if we looked at today in a new light? What if we consid-ered today as a verb, an action that we can use right now?In Today Is a Verb: Open the Gift of Now in Every Ordinary Moment, author Carol McLeod asks usto grab hold of God's endless gift of time—past, present, and future—and make the most of everymoment and every minute. She calls for each of us to “roll up your sleeves and tackle the business ofliving a passionate lifestyle with no regrets,” because “there is no such thing as an unremarkable daywhen you know the Lord.” As Carol explains, each moment can be something profound, purposeful,and precious. We can choose each day to pray, to serve, to hope, to trust, to overcome—the possibil-ities are endless.“If you have been thirsty for a joy that is foreign to your personality and seems to be only a mirage inthe desert of life, I hope this scintillating philosophy will stir up what has been lacking in your life,”McLeod says. “Perhaps, with me, you would be brave enough to determine to take at least one vibrantstep toward the life for which you have been aching.”Today Is a Verb can be read as a thirty-day devotional or as a way to revolutionize your life. Eachchapter is based on a key word and includes a life quote, a verse from Scripture, a practical applica-tion, and a daily declaration.

This season on the Significant Women podcast, I have had the privilege to get to know so many of my favorite Christian fiction authors. As many of you know, Christian fiction was my escape when my children were young and we were in the midst of homeschooling. It transported me to a different place and time, and gave me a host of new “friends” to meet and stories to explore. My guest today is Angela Hunt, an award-winning and best-selling author of Biblical fiction whose own story might surprise you. Lean in and listen as we get to know her.  Email: carolmcleod@carolmcleodministries.comHttps://carolmcleodministries.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/carolmcleodministriesInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/carolmcleodministriesYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQE6z9U5VR9tjoJB1NAsgMw

As you already know, I am a fan of Christian fiction, and as a believer in Jesus Christ, I am compelled to support those authors and artists who are creating God-honoring content in a broken culture. My guest today is bestselling author Rachel Hauck who has been penning heartwarming and inspiring Christian Fiction for nearly thirty years. She's just released a novel that takes us back to the 80s! Lean in and listen as we get to know her.

Jesus loved to use stories to communicate Biblical truth, and I think that's one of the reasons I love Christian historical fiction authors so much. We can learn about God and ourselves through the stories they create. We can be transported to different times and different places, and we can see ourselves and God's redemptive plan across time. My guest today, Ann Gabhart, is a best-selling author who has been creating memorable stories for over twenty years, and her latest book, The Song of Sourwood Mountain, takes us to the dawn of the twentieth century in Eastern Kentucky with the story of Mira. Her story reminds us all of the unexpected blessings that can come when we dare to give up control of our lives to God. Lean in and listen as we get to know Ann Gabhart and the heart of her latest book.  Email: carolmcleod@carolmcleodministries.comHttps://carolmcleodministries.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/carolmcleodministriesInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/carolmcleodministriesYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQE6z9U5VR9tjoJB1NAsgMw

What happens when you do “all the right things” and life still doesn't look like how you envisioned it? When you're stuck in a season of waiting, it often hurts too much to hope, and my guest today draws upon her own experiences of heartache to encourage us all to embrace the tension of our unmet longings. Rachel Miller shares her heart today as we talk about toxic shame, lament, and community.

As children, many of us are burdened with labels such as "shy," "quiet," "awkward," or simply "different." These descriptors, casually assigned by others or even self-imposed, confine us to the sidelines, rendering our voices faint and our presence unnoticed. My guest today is Cally Logan who is here to remind you that, just like The Wallflower that Bloomed, you too can break free from the shadows and bloom beautifully, embracing your truest self. Connect with Cally Logan at https://callylogan.com/ Email: carolmcleod@carolmcleodministries.comHttps://carolmcleodministries.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/carolmcleodministriesInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/carolmcleodministriesYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQE6z9U5VR9tjoJB1NAsgMw

Trauma and triggers have become buzz words in recent years and they are sometimes used to describe something that makes us uncomfortable, something that is somewhat cringe-worthy, or even something that's just a generally negative experience. But something that is truly traumatic is something that rewires your brain and moving forward, your instincts and your outlook are altered as a result of it. Regardless of your upbringing, socio-economic status, education, family background, or religious beliefs, we have all experienced trauma. It creeps and seeps into our lives, affecting our outlook, relationships, priorities, and choices.My guests today are mother/daughter duo Sarah & Isabel Bowling, and their new book, “Road to Wholeness: Healing from Trauma,” is a unique look at the parable of the Good Samaritan through the lens of trauma. It will give you insight for healing from the trauma of your own story, as well as how to love and interact with others' as they navigate their own journey of healing. Thankfully, Jesus can help us to transform trauma so it isn't transferred, causing ripple effects of damage and hurt.Connect with Sarah Bowling at https://sarahbowling.org/ Email: carolmcleod@carolmcleodministries.comHttps://carolmcleodministries.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/carolmcleodministriesInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/carolmcleodministriesYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQE6z9U5VR9tjoJB1NAsgMw

Many of us have felt that call from God, asking us to step out of the boat, to do something significant. Jason and Haley Bilotti felt it—for years. But as they began to have children and their obligations with Chick-fil-A grew, they didn't see a way to answer the call of their hearts—to serve God through missions. But, when the opportunity presented itself for them to take separate missions trips, they learned just how creative God truly is.

Are you in a meanwhile?My guest, Carol McLeod, describes a meanwhile as "the test of faith between a crisis and God's visible intervention."What do you do or say during the time between when a crisis intersects your life and when you see God's visible intervention?My guest is Carol McLeod. She's an overcomer, an award-winning author of sixteen books, host of the Significant Women podcast, international speaker, Craig's wife, and Marmie to her ten grandchildren.Carol and I discuss several snippets of her Bible study about the life of Joseph titled "Meanwhile: Meeting God in the Wait."I gained so much insight and understanding about those months or years in the meanwhiles - in the waiting - when I worked through Carol's powerful Bible study.Notable quotes from this episode with Carol McLeod:"Just as God has a plan for your life, so does the enemy. His ugly plan is that you, as a believer in Christ, will live out your earthly days in the dit of despair, in the pit of hopelessness, and the pit of unending depression. There is no potential for growth or nourishment there. The devil is unable to take eternal life from you, so he endeavors to take abundant life from you.""Joseph spoke generously because his life had been refined by human pain and he saw the unprecedented and miraculous plan of God unfold."Bible verses:2 Corinthians 5:7 "We live by faith, not by sight."Psalm 138:8 "God will accomplish what concerns me."John 16:22 "... no one can take away your joy ..."Genesis 50:20 "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many nations."Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."Carol's Bible study, Meanwhile: Meeting God in the Wait, is available on Amazon and wherever books are sold.Connect with Carol McLeod:On her website:  https://www.carolmcleodministries.comOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carol.b.mcleodOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolmcleod_Get your ticket to the 20th annual women's conference: Overflowing: Living Abundantly in a Broken Culture HERE.
