Summary
Happy New Year!!! Let’s take a big sigh together. The New Year can be intense and overwhelming right out of the gate. I don’t know if you’re entering 2024 with a lot of shame or excitement. This episode is such a breath of fresh air that made me feel hopeful.
I did this interview live at my church (Compass Church Colleyville) when Ruth was the guest speaker at our Christmas women’s event. It was so fun to do this in person and get to meet and sit with someone I have long admired.
You will sense PEACE when you hear from Ruth. She just oozes truth and encouragement that we all need in our lives. We have some fun and also discuss some parenting tips along the way. When a mom of 6 BOYS speaks up, I listen.
My favorite part is how she provides a way to read the Bible. A lens we can have to simply get to know the character of God with every moment we’re in His Word. For many years, I think I looked for me in the story and left feeling really discouraged and not enough. When we look for God instead - it can be a game changer in how we encounter our Heavenly Father.

| 0:48.2 | So in December, Ruth Cho-Simon's happened to be the speaker at my church at the women's event. |
| 0:53.1 | And I have been trying to get her on the podcast with her latest book that came out and just chat with her. |
| 0:57.2 | And honestly, we've met each other once, but I've seen her stuff everywhere. |
| 1:04.3 | So many friends and other moms that I admire are really into her devotionals and follow her. |
| 1:06.2 | And so I've heard her name so many places. |
| 1:09.5 | And I was delighted to get to know her in a really fun way. So she was speaking at the event, and I threw this out there to our women's pastor. |
| 1:15.8 | And what is Michelle's title? |
| 1:18.4 | Let's think about that. |
| 1:19.4 | She runs our women's ministry, whatever that amazing title is. |
| 1:22.2 | But I said, Michelle, why don't I interview her live before the event? |
| 1:25.8 | And so we had about 80 people come for that part, |
| 1:29.0 | kind of a pre-show moment, and then 600 people showed up for the women's event. That was pretty |
