Well, welcome back to the podcast. I am Asherita and I'm here with my good friend Hannah.

Back again.

Hello.

And we are sharing these bonus conversations on the topic of delighting in Jesus.

Specifically, just kind of sharing behind the scenes of the writing of this book, the life that was lived going into wanting to share this message. And there was just so much more

that I wanted to include. And I could not. I have thought so many times, Ashthita, about that

first week when we were together. And you talked about how many words was your first draft of the

book versus how many you had to turn in with this huge gap.

Yeah.

And then you're like, I feel like I had even more I could have said.

I was like, this is a girl who's got a lot to say about delighting in Jesus.

You know, I've been pondering this theme for at least the last like 12 years in a like

dedicated way.

I've read hundreds of books and read through the Bible three

times in the past decade just looking for the themes of joy and delight. And this is not at all

in a braggie way, but just in like, this has been on my heart for so long. Yeah, it's been a big

pursuit. Yeah. And I feel like I finally get to talk about all the things.

I kind of have a secret theory about this that I haven't told you yet.

Okay.

Ashtra is very organized, dear camera.

So, for example, this is a spreadsheet I have of all of the podcast episodes we're going

to do and what day will record them and what day they'll air.
