"It was my instinctive reaction to run back into the darkness...Whereas the more I know Jesus—the more I am in the Word, the more I am running towards the light—the more this life that God has given me just makes sense."— Felicity Carswell Today's Episode: Today we're talking about the light and life of Jesus with Felicity Carswell.  Felicity talks about the scary reality of being exposed by the light of Jesus and yet the forgiveness that we always find there. She shares about her own first experience of Jesus and coming into the light. But she also shares about the good, daily practice of exposing our hearts to the light and fighting the sin in our lives. She encourages us not only to live in the light but to invite others to step out into the light with the compassion that comes from allowing it to work in our own lives. This month's memory verse: “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.” — John 1:4 Today's guest: Felicity is from England, but currently lives near Chicago, Illinois with her book-selling husband, Jonathan, and two young sons, Rufus and Billy. She loves to teach the Bible in her local church, and disciple women on a one to one basis. She hosts a podcast with her sister called Two Sisters and a Cup of Tea that seeks to chat through the Bible and drive it to the heart.Support Our Show: Leave a review to encourage us and help other people find our show.Links from today's show: Find out more about Felicity here.Struggling with anger?

How do we find time to read the Bible as busy parents? How can we best model this to our kids? And what are the benefits of reading the Bible with friends? In today's episode, Lucy meets Felicity Carswell and Sarah Dargue - aka Two Sisters and a Cup of Tea. Through their popular podcast, they encourage hundreds of women to read the Bible with a friend (and a cup of tea), share their own insights about the passage, have a giggle and bring alive the joy of God's Word. Felicity lives near Chicago with her husband Jonathan, founder of 10ofthose, and two boys aged 5 and 7. She spends her time parenting and teaching the Bible locally. Sarah lives in West London with her pastor husband and three children aged 8, 7 and 7. She is the author of ‘Bumps, Babies and the Gospel'.

As an executive coach and consultant, I'm constantly asked by new team leaders and veteran team leaders about what they can do to become more effective. In this episode of the Solutions Oriented Leader Podcast I am going to share with you seven key steps you can take to become a more effective leader right away!   The best transformational leaders I know provide vision and motivation to their teams. They are certainly not perfect leaders however; they focus on constant improvement. There are seven key steps that you can take to become a more effective leader right away whether you were just beginning on your journey to become a more effective leader or are already a veteran leader who is looking to improve their skills.   Understand your own leadership style by undergoing a self-assessment. It's important to know the style of leadership that you use, whether your introvert or extrovert or someone who likes to delegate versus someone whose a micromanager. If you're not sure asking friend and tell them to be honest!   The best transformational leaders make time in their schedule to lead. I like to take what I call a walkabout in the morning and greet each and every team member to see if they need any help. Most of the time the answer is no, however I wanted to know that I have their back and that I'm interested in what they're doing.   You must have a good understanding of your people exclamation point! Transformational leaders take the time to engage with each member of their team really getting to know them. It's important to another strengths and weaknesses so that you could focus them on their highest and best use within the team structure.   The best team leaders know how to communicate effectively. It is critical that you're intentional and the way you communicate. (https://www.rickgoodman.com/build-better-culture-key-communication/ ) Make sure you set expectations and let your team know when is the best time to communicate with you so that you could be one-on-one focused with that member of the team Transformational leaders are always setting the example for others. “Your team goes where you go” as I always say! They will be constantly looking at your every move so you need to set the example if you want them to follow.   The most effective team leaders know the importance of delegation. Many times we have people on our team that can do a better job than we can. After all when the team does well the team leader looks the best. It's important to build trust and your team, after all if you can't trust your team members they shouldn't be on your team.   The best leaders make rapid decisions! After all you got a 50-50 shot if you get it wrong and make a new decision. As I say the baseball players that are in the Hall of Fame struck out 70% of the time. If you have a 300-lifetime batting average you're most likely in the baseball Hall of Fame. However, if you don't get up to the plate and take a swing you have no chance of getting a hit.   If you can implement these seven key steps right away you will already be in the process of becoming a more effective team leader!

Distribution is a critical spoke in the publishing cycle, and yet it's surprising the scant amount of thought many small publishers give to how their books will eventually be sold, and how much it will cost to get their titles into the stores. Most new titles issued by small/self publishers wont ever be stocked on the shelves of chain superstores, not even for a short tryout period. Only a tiny fraction of these titles are ever selected directly by discount merchandisers or supermarkets, despite these outlets accounting for a big percentage of overall book industry sales. Bookseller don't have time to meet with hundreds of small publishers, hence the importance of the distributor.  I talk here with Les Petriw, Managing Director & International Sales Director of National Book Network, 'second or third largest in North America,' about why publishers should consider using distribution firms such as his. In-stock status at a national distributor is essential to selling books in any quantity through retail outlets, but it isn't cheap. From what I've been able to learn, distributors working with small publishers typically require a discount of from 50% to 75% off the cover price. In other words, they pay the publisher between 25% and 50% of the cover price on books they actually sell. So picking the right company is important. Here, according to Les, is what you should look for:
