This week, we have first time author, David Sunde on the show! Our host, Lydia Summer sits down with David to talk about his debut book, Small-Batch Disciplemaking, and how we can learn to make disciples like Jesus did when we walked and lived life with His disciples here on earth. David talks about the different rhythms we can incorporate in discipleship, or as he likes to say "apprenticeship", and we believe this episode has come at the perfect timing during this climate of election year, where we ought to strive to unify the Church more despite our differences, rather than stay divided.

We hope you will be encouraged by Lydia and David's conversation and if you think someone else will be encouraged by this conversation, please share. Please consider ordering David's book! All information is below.

This week, we have the extreme privilege of interviewing the "Deborah Woman" from our current Spring Issue of SPLENDEUR Magazine, Marla Jo Hollis. Each issue, SPLENDEUR highlights a woman who exemplifies traits of a godly, bold woman of faith, and Marla was a clear choice to feature!

Marla is a woman with many hats, but it all comes down to following God's calling on her life through how He made her. She and our host, Lydia Summer, discuss a lot about what it means to be uniquely YOU, and how God never mistakes when He created His image-bearing children. What we might discount as "insignificant" or "unimportant", God says that with every detail He created you to be and look like, it matters.

We hope you will be encouraged by Marla's testimony, and if you want to learn and read more, order our spring issue today! If you think someone else will be encouraged by this conversation, please share.

Welcome back to another episode of Dressed in Splendeur!

It's been a little quiet lately on the pod, but we are back with quite a doozy of an episode to bring us back to the rhythms of sharing episodes that will encourage you to learn how be dressed in grander splendor than the wildflowers of the field (Luke 12:27).

This week we have singer/songwriter, McKenna Parr, joining us to talk about her unique experience of having been married and divorced within less than a year. She shares about the shame she felt when she couldn't have her ex agree with her to stay with her, the questions she had about divorce in accordance with God's Word, and the healing God gave her throughout the trials of everything she endured through this season.

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

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.

This week, Lydia Summer sits down with painter and all-around creative, Leah Stugan. Leah has been honing in her painting skills over the course of her life and she uses her talent to worship God and encourage the masses through live painting. As a recent Nasvhille transplant from Arizona, Leah hopes to continue to bring her live painting to different events around the city in hopes to share more of the heart of God with others. Leah shares how she went from having a self-interested to a Christ-serving desire to paint, how God instructed her to fulfill a dream placed on her heart, and she shares some wonderful advice for our listeners through the lens of the Bible's narrative of Martha and Mary.

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.

We are back from our short hiatus and we hope you're ready for some exciting conversations to come! Starting with the wonderful Meggan Wood, founder of Lily Jade.

Our host, Lydia Summer, sits down with Meggan and chats about how the Lord orchestrated for her and her husband to take a huge risk and start a new business which would help bring beauty and functionality to diaper bags. What was thought of as a part-time gig when they first started to the internationally known business it is today, Meggan never expected for this calling to grow so much in the way that it did.

Lily Jade has been able to partner with amazing organizations and has donated so much to women in need, and it was an absolute joy to have Meggan join our show today. 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.

This week, we have Katherine Briggs (or Katie) on the show to talk about her first published book, and the first of her duology, The Eternity Gate. Filled with magic, wonder, loyal friendships, quests, monsters, and so much more, this is the perfect book for our friends who love to read YA Fantasy books!

Katie has been writing and creating worlds for many years, and she always makes sure to incorporate her faith in some fashion within her writings. She discusses with our host, Lydia Summer, what that process looks like in creating new worlds, what her book is about, and why she relates so much to the main heroine, Seyo. She shares some great encouraging words as well for those who desire to follow a similar path to her own.

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.
