It’s that time again! We’re spilling the beans!

You’re about to attend a Fresh Grounded Faith conference in Fort Collins, Colorado, with New York Times’ best-selling author Karen Kingsbury and award-winning singer-songwriter Michael O’Brien.

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 I’ve studied the Bible as a blind woman
• why Karen Kingsbury threw down her husband’s Bible out of sheer frustration
• how God used C.S. Lewis to bring me out of depression and back to faith
• how Michael O’Brien almost lost his marriage
• how to show grace to difficult people in our lives
• who Karen Kingsbury’s favorite fiction writer is

I loved this conversation, and you will love it too! Plus, you’ll hear us end with Michael singing heaven down on your head!

And, as you listen, remember that no matter what you face today, you really can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
