In No Hurry with Cole Douglas Claybourn Cole Douglas Claybourn

I'm excited to welcome back a repeat guest this week as Callie Picardo joins me to talk about the latest book she and her husband, Rosario, wrote called, "Healthy Money: A 30-Day Journey Toward Spiritual, Emotional, and Financial Freedom." Our book isn't just about financial tips; it dives into the emotional and spiritual sides of money, offering a fresh perspective on financial freedom.

Through this 30-day guided journey, "Healthy Money" challenges readers to explore their money mindset, revealing the deep-seated beliefs and emotions that influence their financial decisions. It's a tool for profound healing, aimed at transforming one's financial life from the inside out.

I also encourage you take the Healthy Money Mindset Assessment, which can help you on your journey to financial health and freedom: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QK36T7R?fbclid=IwAR0yVzunGwI3VTJ3eGwzfKVFyrIs18lL3d313PC2OhwfBnCBYBvQI-outys

Roz and Callie were on Episode 75 where we talked about their previous book, "Money Talks: A Biblical Take on Earning, Saving, Spending, and Giving," so be sure to check that out after this one: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-75-biblical-approaches-to-managing-your-money/id1489106099?i=1000538891235

They both have a podcast together — The Better Together Podcast — which I recommend listening to along with reading their book. You can follow Callie on Instagram @callie.picardo.

Do you ever follow someone on social media and just know you would vibe with them in real life? That's how I feel about this week's guest, Ashley Abercrombie.

We've been following each other on the internet for a year or so, and I love her content and personality so much. And after my conversation with her this week, I love her story even more, and I know you will too.

You may already be familiar with Ashley and her work as an author and speaker. She wrote Rise of the Truth Teller: Own Your Story, Tell it Like It Is, and Live with Holy Gumption in 2019, and Love Is the Resistance: Learn to Disagree, Resolve the Conflicts You've Been Avoiding, and Create Real Change in 2021. She's contributed to a variety of outlets, like RELEVANT and Virtue, she's the creator of After Hours on Substack and a co-host on the Why Tho Podcast.

This week we talk about the right perspective on goal setting, the need for slowing down, being vulnerable, living authentically, and having tough conversations with grace. You can follow her on Instagram and Threads @ashabercrombie and online at ashabercrombie.org.

One of my favorite parts of doing this podcast is getting to sit down with my wife every year around our anniversary and reflect on the past year of our lives. After a few years of chaos, highlighted by a December 2021 tornado that displaced us for almost nine months, this past year has been marked by a lot of blessings and far less turmoil.

We traveled to Europe, bought a house, started leading a small group at church and saw several of our friends get married and have children. We experienced professional and creative growth and made memories that will last a lifetime. I'm excited for 2024.

If you're an avid reader, I encourage you to check out my wife's bookstagram, @emsalwaysreading, where she rates and reviews the books she reads. We also recorded an episode earlier this year (Episode 96) where Emily talked about the joy of reading and gave some of her favorite recommendations.

In late October 2019, Ryan Ahlwardt and I sat down at a library near Indianapolis, Indiana to record the first episode of this podcast. Four years later, we're still going strong.

As we've tried to do every year around the anniversary (we missed last year for some reason), Ryan and I reflected on the past year and celebrating the podcast turning another year older.

If you're new to the show, the music you hear at the beginning and end was created by Ryan, a singer/songwriter who was previously a member of the highly acclaimed a capella group "Straight No Chaser." Ryan has become a good friend, and he's got some really cool life updates that he shares in this episode, including a new single called "Alone for Christmas" that you can listen to on any streaming platform.

You can check out Ryan's music and social media at ryansongs.com.

Do you ever just make up silly songs just for fun when you're at home alone? I feel like a lot of us do, but rarely do we ever share them with the world. Well, right out when the pandemic hit, that's what Sarah Maddack Bell started doing. Now, several of her silly songs have gone viral and she's created a social media platform where she can spread positivity and joy.
Her songs are goofy and a bit annoying — her words, not mine! And that's on purpose. It's all about not taking yourself too seriously and being willing to have and just be yourself. I so appreciate Sarah's perspective on life and how she followed a feeling to pursue what felt right and fun for her. Her story is one of faithfulness in God and using the talents — as silly as they may be — for the purpose God gave her.
Also, as you may imagine, with such a public social media presence and one centered around what many may perceive as "dumb" and annoying songs, she's gotten a fair share of nasty messages. We get into that and how she's dealt with rude comments from strangers as well as staying grounded despite her platform growing.
Check her on Instagram and TikTok @sarahmadbell. You can also find her music on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music.

A lot of us are burnt out. If you aren't feeling it now, you surely have at some point and probably will in the future. The COVID-19 pandemic and 2020 left all of us feeling all sorts of ways, and I'm willing to guess burnout and weariness were just a couple of the emotions you dealt with.

That was certainly the case for this week's guest, author Dai Hankey, who was asked by his publisher to write a book encouraging Christians not to quit. But this came during the pandemic, when he himself was in a bad season and just felt like quitting a lot of things. He was exhausted in every way and everything seemed bleak around him.

In October 2020, there was a moment when he found himself flat on his back in his bedroom thinking he was just done and didn't have much left in the tank. He wasn't suicidal, he said, but just kind of feeling like he was done with life.

The perspective he eventually gained by journaling and spending time with the Lord is what's in his new book, "Hopeward: Gospel Grace for Weary Souls." Dai is a church-planting pastor in Cardiff, Wales, and is also the founder of Red Community, a Christian charity that fights human trafficking. He's devoted his whole life to teaching the Word of God, which I think is what makes this book and this conversation so special.

I think sometimes as Christians we might feel shame for feeling some of the emotions he speaks about, but all Dai was trying to do was be his authentic self, both before the Lord and in this book to his readers. I think that comes out through this conversation. It's a perfect follow-up to last week's conversation with Adam Ramsey, which I recommend downloading if you haven't yet.

If you want to connect with Dai, you can do so on Twitter @daihankey or by email at daihankey@gmail.com. You can purchase "Hopeward" anywhere books are sold, but I'm also giving away a free copy of Dai's it to someone who is a part of my Instagram and Substack communities. If you're interested in winning this giveaway, make sure you're following me on both. Links are below.
