You're listening to the Allender Center podcast with Dr. Dan Allender.

This week, Dan and his wife, Becky Allender, talk about Becky's new book, hidden in plain sight.

Becky shares about her writing process and about finding the courage to step from a lifetime of hiding into a beautiful and compelling new story.

There are very few chances in life like this to be with one's beloved.

So welcome, Becky.

Welcome, Dan. It's good to be here.

But so few chances in life to interview one's beloved.

And I know moments ago you asked, where's the interview going to go?

And I appreciate that you want to have some pre-notice as to what we're going to cover. But

that's just not how I tend to interview people to give them a broad overview of what we're going to talk

about. So I understand there was a little tension between us with regard to that. Don't you?

Yes, yes. It's nice to have a map of where we're headed, but you would rather just not have that

available for me or whoever you interview. I guess it's more fun

that way. Well, it is more fun, but it also gives you a chance to talk more about what's on

your heart than to simply have a kind of a nice, I do have a bit of organization. You have

written a book, Becky, and we've talked about it before,

but what I want to do is to invite people to begin to engage not just your book,

but the process of what you went through to write the book,

not because I think most people ought to be planning to write a book,

but your book's title is hidden in plain sight.

And I think that's a reality that as I've read your material, thought about your material,

I don't think there's anyone on the earth, including me, that does not have some degree of hiding.
