Summary
Last week, we flipped the mic and you got to hear my two sons interview me! If you joined us, you know this conversation only scratched the surface about ministry, blindness, writing, and speaking.
So today, we're picking right back up where we left off and going deeper into the story behind the ministry and the heart behind the microphone!
In Part Two of this special miniseries, the questions turn more personal as we talk about how C.S. Lewis found his way into my life during a season of depression—and how his words helped shape my faith, my thinking, and my writing.
We also rewind to some surprising beginnings: my first exposure to audiobooks, why I wasn't a reader growing up (yes, really!), and the unexpected author who helped me come alive inside. Then we fast-forward to what may be on the horizon—a book I'm prayerfully considering writing next.
