    262. Singing Through Fire (with Lara Silverman)

    From Lara: "Last month, I released my bestselling Christian memoir, Singing Through Fire, which chronicles my eight-year journey through profound loss: a sudden, debilitating neurological illness that left me severely bedridden for four years, the collapse of my legal career, and, most recently, the death of my husband Matt—a brilliant engineering PhD, missionary, and youth pastor—after just one year of marriage. Yet in this Job-like journey, God met me with startling joy: unexpected marriage, music, and redemptive joy. The memoir is raw and soul-stirring, but also full of humor, theatrical flair, and 1940s vintage romance. I wrote it for Christians wrestling with the question of how we can have faith through deep suffering." Learn more! https://books2read.com/singingthroughfire Be in touch!

    261. Creative Solutions to Community Problems (with Joe Reed)

    Joe has spent his entire career in the nonprofit sector, working from the perspective of seeing low-income communities struggle to make ends meet while showing remarkable work ethic and creativity. Over the years, he saw firsthand that these communities often had brilliant ideas for strengthening their neighborhoods but lacked the resources, systems, and support to turn those ideas into sustainable ventures. Out of that experience, Joe began shaping a new approach: incubating ideas that not only create employment opportunities but also generate recurring revenue to reinvest in community development. This conviction launched his journey into social entrepreneurship. Learn more! https://solveline.pro/ Be in touch!
