Oh My Heart – April Metzler pt 1https://aprildmetzler.com/home/ ()Many people have been struggling during this past year, with the COVID crisis and the resulting social isolation and shut downs that have been taking place. Many churches have had to cut back or even cancel their services. For many people, church has always been that one place they could go to seek some semblance of peace. The Peace of God. But that has not been an option for many people during this past year. That takes some special people with a special anointing to try and take that message to the masses in any way they can. The message that “God Loves You” is one that needs to be shared far and wide, especially in the world we see falling apart around us today. April Metzler is a Christian author and song writer that draws daily with her walk with God to minister hope and encouragement to others with a heart for intercessory prayer. She will be the first to tell you that you are “Loved by God,” when the rest of the world tries to tell you otherwise. She is author of the book, https://amzn.to/3d3mq0o (“Oh My God, My Heart: It is the Pursuit That Matters”) which was released in July of 2020. She also released a music album titled https://amzn.to/3pc0raa (“Oh My Heart Strings”) as well. And, on top of all that, she is a podcast host for “RSVP Show.” Were you already preparing to release your book and your music album before the COVID situation came upon the world? Or was all of this as a result of the crisis? You are active in youth and music ministry in your church. I know the COVID restrictions put a damper on being invited to sing, etc. as a guest at other churches. But now that it looks like things may get loosened up a bit, are you reaching out to come and minister by song in other places? When did you first discover your love for song writing? Do you remember the first song you actually wrote? Who is your intended listener? What label are you releasing under? I’ve listened to your songs, they are really good! And you have them on YouTube as well, that’s awesome! Does your husband play any instruments? I know you have a podcast, called “RSVP Show.” Tell us about your podcast… April, you are one busy woman! Praise God! I could talk to you for hours. I love all that you are doing for the Lord and for His People. Amen! Your book, https://amzn.to/3d3mq0o (“Oh My God, My Heart: It is the Pursuit That Matters,”) is it available on Amazon? Is that how our listeners should get a copy of your book? And what about your music album, https://amzn.to/3pc0raa (“Oh My Heart Strings.”) That is also available on Amazon, correct? If someone wanted to reach out to you and ask a question, to get in touch or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? And I don’t want to forget your podcast! Praise God! What is the link to your podcast so we can listen to the great conversations you have there? I will put all of these links down below in the show notes. Folks, you absolutely need to get a copy of April Metzler’s new book, “Oh My God, My Heart: It is the Pursuit That Matters.” This book, I can’t say it any plainer…this book will give you the encouragement to face these uncertain times in a way that God intends for you to walk all situations in your life. By trusting IN HIM and in His Love and by being the victor and not the victim. Amen! Go down into the show notes, click the link and order your copy today. In fact, order two or three copies. Amen! Sow this into someone’s life. I know that you know at least one other person that can use this type of encouragement. Amen! So click the link and order your copies today. And, let’s not forget about ordering April’s music album. Praise God! You know, even when all hell was breaking loose around David, it was always the music and worship he did before God that brought him the peace and confidence to face whatever was going on around...

The message that “God Loves You” is one that needs to be shared far and wide, especially in the world we see falling apart around us today. My guest today has several irons in the fire that allows her to do just that thing. To bring HOPE and God’s Love to those that need to hear about it and experience it right now. April Metzler is a Christian author and song writer that draws daily with her walk with God to minister hope and encouragement to others with a heart for intercessory prayer. She will be the first to tell you that you are “Loved by God,” when the rest of the world tries to tell you otherwise.

And, on top of all that, she is a podcast host for “RSVP Show.” Praise God! Help me welcome to the program, April Metzler! First question that I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is April Metzler?” You released your first book, https://amzn.to/3d3mq0o (“Oh My God, My Heart: It is the Pursuit That Matters,”) back in the summer of 2020. It contains over 350 different scripture verses and quotes. This book is loosely based upon your own life experiences, correct? Give us a couple of examples what the readers will find in your book… I especially liked the story about when your in-laws, shall we say, cleaned up your house while you were sleeping and tossed out some very important papers you were working on? Can you just go over that story as an example of the content in your book? You focus on sharing “God’s Love” with others. I can appreciate that, especially in this day and time we are living right now. How has this work helped you to grow during the pandemic and all that has taken place since early 2020? Folks, you absolutely need to get a copy of April Metzler’s new book, “Oh My God, My Heart: It is the Pursuit That Matters.” This book, I can’t say it any plainer…this book will give you the encouragement to face these uncertain times in a way that God intends for you to walk all situations in your life.

Awakened By Grace – Darlene West

Awakened By Grace Darlene WestHow many of us have done something, knowing we should not have. Sometimes, it goes unnoticed. Sometimes, it is not only noticed, but it has tragic results. In some of those cases, grief sets in. Serious grief. Self-blame. Shutting ourselves off from family and friends. Maybe, in some cases, even hating God for allowing whatever it was to happen. Well, the scenario I just laid out for you, as familiar as it may sound to some, is from a fictional book titled, https://amzn.to/3bnoaPA (“Awakened By Grace,”) written by my guest today, Darlene West. Darlene is a retired corporate developer, program designer, and curriculum specialist. Though she grew up in and loved the restaurant business, her favorite regular job was being a Christian radio disc jockey in Champlain, New York.  She has a Bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in the concentration of fiction, as well as a Master’s Degree in Adult Education. And she has put all of those skills together in the writing of this great book, https://amzn.to/3bnoaPA (“Awakened by Grace.”) Help me welcome to the program, Darlene West!  Darlene, thank you for coming on the program today! First question, other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Darlene West?” What inspired you to write https://amzn.to/3bnoaPA (“Awakened By Grace?”) Tell us about your main character, Franklin Franklyn. Starting out, he’s not a believer, right? Is his character based on someone you know? Or just rather designed for the purpose of this book? How does his granddaughter, Maggie, break through the grief and teach her grandfather a thing or two about Faith? How long did it take you write this book? How hard was it to develop the characters in the book, since this was all fiction? Were there periods of time when you hit the wall? Writers block? What genre does your book fit into? Christian? Fiction? Christian Fiction? How would you classify it? How hard was it for you to find a publisher for your book? Are you working on part two? Is this going to become a series for this story with Franklin Franklyn? Or Maggie? Any thoughts on when you may publish that work? https://amzn.to/3bnoaPA (“Awakened By Grace,”) is it available on Amazon? Is that how everyone can order a copy of the book? You need to get your own copy of this great book by Darlene West, “Awakened By Grace.” In fact, I’d recommend getting two or three copies! If you are part of a book club, recommend the book to your group. I think all of you would really get into the story and there would so much you could talk about. But, even if you are not part of a book club, I know that you know someone who would enjoy this book. So order two or three copies. One for you and a couple to sow into someone’s life. Do it right now, while you are thinking about. Just go down into the show notes and click the links right there. Amen!
