Hello and welcome back to the Bodies Behind the Bus podcast.

We're super excited to have a special guest with us today.

We have Beth Allison Barr, an incredible author who many of you, I believe, have probably read her first book,

The Making a Biblical Womanhood, with us today to talk to us about her next book that I absolutely loved. I sent her a message.

I finished last night in preparation for this recording and had a good cry fest by the end of it.

It is beautiful and informative and really just, I want to give you first off a huge congrats for this.

You can tell it was a labor of love and hard, hard work. So welcome to the podcast, Beth.

We're so excited to have you here. Well, thanks for having me. I'm excited to be here too.

So I've been listening to y'all for quite a while. So I'm

thankful for your work. Thank you. That's such an honor. I'd love for you to take just a minute here

and explain your, like I know it's kind of, you do a lot of it in your books, but a quick, high-level

backstory on what got you here? What got you interested in writing books,

like making a biblical womanhood or becoming the pastor's wife? Yeah. So just intro yourself a little.
