| 0:00.0 | Adoration is where I bring what I'm really feeling to God and to his word. And I have a dialogue |
| 0:06.0 | back and forth where I've got God's word in my hand and I'm speaking it back to him and asking |
| 0:11.5 | him as I adore to inform my we can to just make it a little bit more lovely. So it's my mission to bring you great conversations, practical tools and information, |
| 0:40.7 | and a healthy dose of community to help make those things happen. |

| 1:00.1 | joining me today. Oh, ladies, there could not have been a better person to have on the podcast |
| 1:06.4 | or a better book to talk about this week than Sarah Hagerty with her brand new book, Adore, |
| 1:11.8 | which is going to be coming out on the 31st of the month of March. |

| 1:18.7 | You're really going to want to pre-order it because we are actually going to be doing a study of Ador, |
| 1:23.8 | a book club that my good friend Shell Bruises, who is on the show all the time, is going |
| 1:28.1 | to be leading with the Patreon ladies and cultivating the lovely. We are going to be going |
| 1:33.0 | through that book and sinking into adoration even in difficult times, which is really what |
| 1:37.5 | that book is about. It is the perfect book to be going through at a time such as this. It's |
| 1:42.5 | pretty amazing, especially as you listen in the |
| 1:45.1 | podcast episode, how this book release got pushed out a number of times because God knew that this |
| 1:51.3 | was when we were going to need it. So I am so excited to be bringing you this interview today with |
| 1:56.1 | Sarah Hagerty, but I also want to mention a couple of things because we're doing some special |
| 2:00.4 | different things right now |
