Friends, welcome back to the Wild at Heart podcast here in the week of November 13th, and we've got a special

podcast for you this week and next. We are going to enter into sort of pre-holiday storytelling, council advice, talking

people off the ledge.

But what's delightful about this? you're about to hear a conversation with Stacy

and several of our women's team. But I wanted to jump in here at this start to welcome you back and to remind everyone the past three

weeks we've been talking about and listening to excerpts from Blaine Eldridge's

new book The Paradise King, which is out.

It's available on Amazon and you are going to find it a wonder and a joy. So it's available everybody. But let's do what we always do.

Before we jump into women talking about the coming holiday season, let's take our pause to release the day,

release people, projects, pressures, and just find your own soul in order to find God. So Father Jesus, Holy Spirit, once again, we give everything to you. We release every person in our life. We release every project,

every pressure, all that's going on.

We release the world right now.

We can't carry the world.

Our shoulders just aren't big enough.

And so we take a moment to release everything to you.

And just do that, friends.

Take a moment, just to release it. And we do this, God, in order to find you, in order to be met by you each week right here in our shared life through these podcasts.

So come and meet us here, restore our union with you, our life in you.

Amen.

Hi everybody, yes, Stacy here and I am so happy to be with you all today and I am in the

studio with my dear friends and co-laborers, should I say that? Our partners in ministry. Stacy, Jamie, and Karen. And yeah, we wanted to talk to you about the holidays, really talk together about them because we are on the cusp nearing

Thanksgiving and depending on what radio station you listen to, right? The Christmas songs are playing. And so, you know,
