It came directly against what God was trying to do in my life.

And yet, he will take what the enemy meant for evil,

and he will turn it for good, because I was so concerned

about what people thought, and sometimes our greatest strength

is also our greatest weakness in the shadows.

Hey friends, welcome to Talk It Out.

Come on in here because we have a new friend to introduce you today.

And I'm going to say new to us, you probably already know Tasha Layton and love her,

love her music.

But today, you get to be on the pink couch and talk with

us. So we are so excited to have you here. I'm excited to be here. I was telling you earlier,

I have been a fan of Joyce for many, many years. So many years, I don't want to date myself by

telling you. But yeah, I think I read

Battlefield of the Mine in like middle school or high school. So it's the best time to read it.

It really is. I know. Get that stuff in there early. Yeah. And you're so busy. I mean,

and we say that about all of us, I think. We all have so many things in our life. But as a wife and a mom

and a singer-songwriter, author, on the road part of the time, you have a lot to juggle and a lot to

balance. Yeah. I know. I'm tired now. I know. I think, you know, I in some ways have done a great job

of handling and stewarding what the Lord

has given me. And then in other ways, I feel like I drop balls all the time. And I think we don't

talk about the reality of both and living in that tension of, you know what, I'm crushing this

over here and this stinks right now.
