I'm Father Joseph Anthony Kress and welcome to God'splaining.

Godsplaining. I am joined by Emily Wilson Hussam, a return guest, which I've always was,

I don't know, wondering how we were going to approach

this if we were going to go tiny desk style and only do one interview per person, or if we

were going to have repeat interviews. So we're breaking the mold. We have Emily back. We've had her

a few times, but we would love to talk with Emily about her latest project, her new book that just

hit the shelves. But before we dive into that work, Emily, first off, welcome. Always good to have a

good friend back on the podcast. Could you give a little bit of an intro for our listeners on

yourself and who you are? Yes. My name is Emily Wilson Hussam.

As Father said, I'm from California and I love the Lord.

And that's really the only thing I want you to know about me.

I don't care about really anything that I do.

My goal in life is to say yes to anything God calls me to.

So I'm just grateful to be here with you.

No, like I said, it's always good to have friends back on the podcast and have a good conversation. We've talked in the past about things like marriage prep and, you know, your ministries and work with young women,

which is more along the lines of what we're

going to talk about today. Because you have a new book that's out, which is called Sincerely Stoneheart.

And this book is in the, I don't want to say genre, but maybe inspired.

Spirit. Spirit. Yes. Thank you. Spirit of St s lewis in his work of the screw tape letters
