Hey y'all, welcome back to the Confessions of a Crappy Christian Podcast.

A place where you and all of your crap are not just welcome, you're wanted.

I'm your host, Blake G. Shay, and every week I'm showing up with a new friend to talk

about the things we're really great at, the ways Christ fills in the gaps on the things

that we're not, and how he has been faithful to make his power perfect in our weaknesses.

My hope is that you walk away feeling empowered and not alone in your struggles, and that

people sharing their stories pushes you to share yours.

Alright, let's do this.

So, today's interview is with Christy Purfoy, a writer, mother, wife, and any a gram

for.

In her new book, Christy shows readers what it means to be a placemaker, cultivating

places of comfort, beauty, and peace.

Our conversation really challenges the idea of what a home should look and feel like,

and gives some tangible ways to create a true place for people.

It is so good.

Christy, hey, thank you so much for coming on.

You are so welcome, it's great to be here with you.

So by the time this interview comes out, your book has been out for a month.

So congratulations.

You wrote a book.

Thank you.

You're welcome.
