    Sunshine for Yofi: A Journey of Faith and Creativity

    “Sunshine for Yofi” will be available May 12, 2026!  The episode features a heartfelt conversation with Bethany Crigger, a returning guest, who shares her journey as a writer and the inspiration behind her upcoming book, "Sunshine for Yofi." The discussion delves into themes of faith, self-discovery, and the importance of family support. Bethany talks about her love for storytelling through various art forms and how her experiences in Israel influenced her writing. The book, set in Jerusalem, explores the protagonist Yofi's struggles with performance anxiety and her spiritual journey. Yofi's journey is about embracing her identity and finding peace in her relationship with God, allowing her to share her talents and messages with the world. Yofi's story highlights the eternal importance of listening to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit and surrendering personal growth to Abba (God the Father), which also inspired Bethany to reflect on her own life and creative process. Bethany’s original song she mentions in the podcast - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOV8zraXaXk We 10/10 highly recommend “Sunshine for Yofi!” We got to read the book in advance. The art… the cadence… the story building… the weaving in and out of God’s heart and purpose is just stunning. We will be purchasing our own hard copies!  The book will be available on Amazon starting May 12 and the link will be live starting that day.  Other ways to connect with Bethany:  bethanycrigger.com Free coloring pages for “Sunshine for Yofi” -  https://bethanycrigger.com/colorsunshine/ Instagram - @bethany.crigger.writes  Newsletter - on website home page or email Bethany with “newsletter” in Subject line at hello@bethanycrigger.com
