Episode 56: Be Your Whole Self Sista
05/04/18 • 73 min
Hey Sistas,
Here are a few things you need to know about today’s episode:
1: I sit down with my friend Amena Brown today to talk about how she's seeking Shalom in herself. We also talk about taking mission trips to Africa as black girls, beauty standards, and I kissed dating goodbye.
2: We're doing our shalom step of cleaning toilets for people who annoy us... my bathrooms are SPARKLING people.
3: There's a copy of Amena's book, "How to Fix A Broken Record" up for grabs. Just find the podcast on Instagram and TAG three friends who you think would love this episode.
Reminders!
2: We're praying for each other in the Shalom Sistas Hangout and Newsletter. Click the links to join and get your prayer on.
3: We have a Patreon to help pay for an editor and make sure episodes are released once a week. The only way I can serve you here on the podcast is by delegating the editing/tech to someone else. Please consider supporting the podcast here. We need $100 more to start a contract with an editor. This week’s thank you gift in Patreon is my conversation with my daughter on “A Wrinkle in Time” it’ll show up on Monday.

Episode 57: Pro-Life? Pro-Choice? Pro-Mom
Hey Sistas,
Here are three things you need to know about today's episode.
1: I chat with my friends, Amber Hornsby and Rachel Hanus, co-founders of ESTHER homes, a beautiful transition home for single mamas and pregnant women. Y'all, I joined the board of ESTHER as the president last month and I have to tell you God has been leading me to this moment for YEARS. This episode means so much to me because when was 20, I was a junior in college and found myself in an unplanned pregnancy and if it were not for women like my guest today, I would have had an abortion and quite possibly lost my faith.
2: We have a Patreonto help pay for an editor and make sure episodes are released once a week. The only way I can serve you here on the podcast is by delegating the editing/tech to someone else. Please consider supporting the podcast here.
3:We need $100 more to start a contract with an editor. This week’s thank you gift in Patreon is this cool resource I received from my friend, Shannan Martin who was episode #3. She wrote a four day Mother's Day campaign that you can sign up for for FREE and you'll get an email a day for four day. BUT If you're a Patreon, you'll get all four days in one PDF called, "A New Way to Mother's Day" in your feed.
