It’s episode 78 and my guest is Valerie Woerner. I remember ‘meeting’ Val through a Direct Message on Instagram a few years ago. Val has a heart for women to know God’s truth, and she is so relatable and real in her faith.  Today on the podcast, Val and I talk about her new book that is coming out April 9, which is next week! I am reading it and let me just tell you, I have underlined so much of it; I‘m like Val, you are writing about me! I have followed along with her since first meeting on instagram and have since been able to interview her along with her twin sister about their God stories. If you missed hearing the episode they were on, check out their episodes,  46 and 47.  Check out the show notes at wrenrobbins.com/podcast to get the links mentioned.  LIKE the podcast?

This episode, ya'll.  My friend, Holly sent me a message me one day and said, "Wren. You have got to hear Jess’s story." After Jess had spoken at a Veterans Day event, Holly immediately went up to encourage her.  Holly connected Jess and myself and I’m so grateful for Holly knowing what an impact Jess will make, and that she has been an encouragement for Jess to share. Jess has only spoken in public a few other times and I’m so grateful she entrusted me in sharing her story with you today. Jess takes me back to her life of searching for her identity as a young preteen girl, and how she kept coming up feeling empty throughout her life. One morning, after putting her five month old baby girl in her swing for a nap, Jess was devastated with a knock on the door with the news that her first husband, Tell had been killed in action while he was stationed in Iraq. God used a sympathy card filled with verses from a friend she hardly knew that drew Jess to God’s word. In her desperation, Jess found a Bible in her home

  Hey friends! Let’s get to today’s episode! I recently heard about Annie Pajcic.   She’s a wife, a mom of 4, and an amazing artist. She uses her creativity to teach women, teens and tweens about Jesus. We found each other through a friends’ recent podcast episode and we had the best time talking. We chat about so many things, but one surprising event changed her life forever. She lost her best friend in a boating accident on her 17th birthday. God used this tragic accident to move in Annie’ life from a worldly perspective to a life of passion to know the Lord and encourage others to do the same. Embracing her background in youth ministry and the arts, she founded ThouArtExalted. it combines the study of God’s Word with Annie’s passion for the arts. With 1 Chronicles 29:11 as a guide, ThouArtExalted provides art-based Bible studies, free devotions, speaking events, art camps, conferences, and online resources to help women, teens, and tweens deepen a relationship with Jesus. You will be encouraged how walking

What you don’t know is that the power went out at the beginning of our conversation and I had to wait until my router rebooted!  Maggie was so kind about it and told me about another time something like that happened to her and it made me feel so much better!   SHOW NOTES: Connect with Magg

  Let’s get to todays episode with Lauren K. Denton.  I picked up one of Lauren’s novels in August and I loved reading it! Born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, Lauren now lives with her husband and two young daughters in Homewood, just outside Birmingham. In addition to her fiction, she writes a monthly newspaper column about life, faith, and how funny (and hard) it is to be a parent. On any given day, she’d rather be at the beach with her family and a stack of books. Her debut novel, The Hideaway, is USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon Charts bestseller. Her second novel, Hurricane Season, released in April, 2018, and was listed on BookPage's 2018 list of Most Anticipated Fiction.  And, I want to give a little plug for Lauren’s two books and the one coming out in March.  The Hideaway Hurricane Season, and Glory road are her novels!  If you like Southern fiction, you will love how Lauren writes the setting, how the characters are relatable and how she creates an interesting story line and it will have
