    Episode #220: Christmas Book Gift Ideas with the Flaherty Fam: Anne Angel, Bethany Peterson & Matthew Flaherty Part One

    We see a lot of “joy” written and sung about during the holidays, and if there’s an episode filled with joy, it’s this one! What a JOYous time Katie and Julia had chatting it up with the Flaherty fam! (So much laughing!)  Normally we have one guest, and occasionally we’ve had two guests, but never ever have we had three guest… until today! And what a fun gathering of guests! Katie’s nieces and nephew (Children of her brother Tom Flaherty who has been on several of our episodes) joined us from their trip in Mexico!  Siblings: Anne, Bethany, Matthew and their sister Christina wrote a poetry book together, In Sunshine or in Shadow. And in this episode share a little bit about why and how this incredible book was written. There are poems from all seasons and for all seasons. They are so beautifully, and talentedly written; just dripping with relatable moments and well-thought out rhyming schemes. This family is jam-packed with talent. (Spoiler, they read some of their poetry in the episode!) Their hope is to encourage laughter through the tears, because we can be grateful for the love that carried us through the harder times in our lives. Poetry can be a tremendous vehicle for helping your heart heal. And it gets better. Not only is their poetry book incredible, they (and some of their other family members) have written books for a variety of readers!  This episode is SO much fun, but since there were FIVE of us chatting, we decided to cut it in half. So please enjoy PART 1 today, and look for PART 2 in a couple weeks!

    Episode #218: A Story of Finding God (Even When It's Hard) with Jennifer Stovall

    There’s nothing wrong with adoring your family and wanting everyone to stay close and be happy. In fact, most mothers would agree that’s our hearts greatest desire. Jennifer shares with us what happens when you hold on that a little too tightly and how God brought her back to Him through lots of layers of hard, in a season of empty-nesting (Or “Extreme Empty-Nesting” as she calls it) during COVID. She walks in the mess of shame and blame during her crisis and discovers beautiful lessons because “God is not afraid of our big feelings.” She learned how to forgive, how to look to God for her source of identity and the importance of feeling heard. Because “When we feel heard we start to heel.”  This episode is full of wisdom and perspective regardless of where you are at in your hard (We all have hard!) And how great of a feeling it is to release that control and free-fall into our Father’s arms, because He is with us, even when we don’t think so.  Jennifer is an amazing gal to speak with!

    Episode #217: Redemption from Addiction with Dana Brown (a part two!)

    Four years ago, in 2020, Dana chatted with us on our podcast and we were thrilled to have her back on to share more about her story and the incredible things God has done in her life. Dana is full of wisdom and reminds us that “shame and guilt have no control anymore because God created us and HE gets to say what happens in our lives.” Nothing we do is a surprise. He uses the mess we make to use for others to hear about how amazing He is. It’s hard sometimes to push past the lies and the “deceptive evil” but God is so good and he replaced Dana’s desire for drugs with the desire to tell people about Him.  Even if you don’t struggle with Dana’s struggles, she paints a picture of what it looks like to stop holding onto our sin and mistakes as our identity and instead hold onto who Jesus says we are! It takes a lifetime to get to redemption, so don’t give up, no matter where you are in your story. He’s got great things coming for you!  Here are some links from Dana:  Zoe Freedom Center: https://www.zoefreedomcenter.org/about Dana’s Book: Desperate for a Fix https://a.co/d/1W9UYLS  Susan’s Book: A Wanderer’s Journey: Part 1 https://a.co/d/7RJF5GJ

    We love a good redemption story, and Melissa Huray’s story is a great one!

Melissa shares her story, step by step, as she grew up and began to recognize the addiction in her life and what it took for her to say to Jesus, “I want to be done.”  Oh and hey, if you enjoyed our chat with her today, we encourage you to check out her books (⁠Blackout to Blessings⁠ & ⁠Radical Freedom⁠) show (⁠The Hope Report⁠)  or ⁠website⁠ to hear more!

    Episode #215: Where We've Been & Where We are Heading!

    Join us this week as Katie and Julia chat about their summers! This summer She Speaks Stories had a NEW theme, where we dropped the "S" and had a summer filled with HEs! The He Speaks Stories Summer not only extended into our episodes but also our summer book club. The books we read over the summer were fantastic, so Julia and Katie share favorite parts and encourage all our listeners to get a copy: 1. The Simple Faith of Mr. Rogers by Amy Hollingsworth (https://a.co/d/cRFSM5j) 2. Me, Myself & Bob by Phil Vischer (https://a.co/d/1lttBLJ) 3. A Burning in My Bones by Winn Collier (https://a.co/d/babNHTA) After chatting about the FUN of their summer our lovely co-hosts shifted gears to what to expect from the She Speaks Stories podcast!

    Episode #214: He Speaks Stories Summer with Lou Minichini

    Today we have the pleasure of hearing from Lou Minichini! He was chatting with the lovely Katie Hawkins at their Sunday School get-together and shared his conversion story. Katie's response was “you HAVE to be on our podcast!” and we are SO thankful Lou agreed!  His story walks us through how a New Jersey Italian Catholic found Jesus. How his upbringing grew from a traditional awareness of God to a life changing relationship with his Savoir.  And after he found Christ, he talked about the importance of sharing the good news! The discussion that follows that: unpacking preferences vs principles in our faith, was so interesting and fun!
