Merry Christmas everyone!

This week we have the wonderful Bookstagram influencer, Cicely V Ford, on the show! Cicely, or Cici to her friends, shares about her journey in organically creating a 50k+ followers Instagram account where she promoted her favorite books; how she grew closer in her relationship with Jesus; and how, in doing so, her focus on her Instagram page turned more into a place where she shared her faith and encouraged people with every word she writes. Even though she lost tens of thousands of followers due to the change in how Instagram operates and because she began sharing more about her Bible studies, Cici tells us how it's all worth it, as long as she never compromises her faith in the process.

Cici shares some wonderful advice for those who have a desire to be an influencer and/or how to encourage people with their following, and she and our host, Lydia Summer, have a great dialogue about the negatives and positives that come with social media.

May you be encouraged through her testimony, and if you think that someone will be blessed by this conversation, please share! We hope this conversation will continue to help you learn how to be dressed in grander splendeur than the beautiful wildflowers of the field.
