You’ve told me that you love it when my friends spill the beans! So, that’s exactly what we’re doing today!

In this episode of the 4:13 Podcast, you’re invited to Buffalo, New York, for a Fresh Grounded Faith event with Grammy-Award winning singer-songwriter, Laura Story, and New York Times best-selling author, Ann Voskamp.

Both Laura and Ann are brilliant, empathetic, and charming! But you’re also going to hear Laura’s spunky and spicy personality and how warm and wise Ann is. You’re going to love it!

The three of us sat around the onstage bistro and answered the audience’s questions—unplanned and unrehearsed. Here are a few of the things you’ll hear us talk about:

• how to respond well to others on social media
• what to do when God doesn’t heal
• the tension Laura feels as a working mom
• what our greatest insecurity is
• whether my Braille watch is cute

And, at one point, I invited storyteller and singer-songwriter, Shaun Groves, on stage to talk about depression. He’s so practical and compassionate, a strong advocate for children worldwide, and one of my favorite people!

We also talked about how many cowboy boots I have and whether my Braille watch is cute. And I promised you pictures, so here they are!

My cowboy boots!

Here’s my braille watch. Cute, right?!

Friend, I loved this conversation, and you will love it too! So, get ready for some sizzling beans!

And, this coming week, I hope you get to spill some beans with somebody who will encourage you and make you smile. If you don’t know somebody like that, you become that somebody.

You can—because you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength!
