Welcome back to another episode of Confessions of a Crappy Christian, a misfit media network

production. I am your host and resident Crappy Christian Blake, and every week I get to have

the coolest conversations with incredible people about all the things most Christians

are still not sure we're allowed to talk about. So if you've been looking for a place to land

with all your crap and for someone to just be honest about what it looks like to walk through

this Christian life while you've come to the right place, pull up a seat, pop in your headphones

and tune out your kids, and come hang out with me

and a guest for the authentic conversations that you have been looking for.

All right, you guys, welcome to another episode of the show. I could wax poetic for the rest of this episode

and not even let her talk about the guest today. Laura is one of my favorite people on the

internet. We connected so long ago, like forever, original days on the internet. I am going to wax poetic

for a second and then I will let you speak. But I discovered risen motherhood before I was even a person on the internet. It was the

original motherhood podcast that I was my friends and I would listen to. We would send episodes to each

other. We read your book in Bible study. And it just was, it felt like a beacon in a world that I was thrust into and had no

idea what I was doing.

And so to enter the internet world and get to be friends with you and continue to learn

from you and glean from your knowledge. It feels like the twilight zone,

right? When somebody that you love and have looked up to and admired and learned from becomes real.

And then they become real and they're lovely and delightful and everything they seem to be on

the internet. And so you have been on the show before and I probably did this last

time. But I just adore you, learn so much from you. And I'm so thankful to get to have you on

the show again. Oh my goodness. I don't know how to respond. Thank you. And also right back at you.
