Listen "Episode 29"
Episode Synopsis
Today is a good day to note that the Believe & Speak podcast was inspired by my book, Longing to Belong: Discovering the Joy of Acceptance. I can’t help but point that out because I just released my book yesterday.
The verses that I read during today’s episode from Psalm 37 kept me awake late into the night Monday night—the night before my book released—because this book has been a LONG time in coming. God gave me the desire to write books for his glory a LONG time ago. I even asked him to take the desire away because it wasn’t happening for me.
But now my book is here! My very first traditionally published book is finally here!

I wrote Longing to Belong to go deep into exploring how believing and speaking truth can chase the lies out of your head by filling your mind with truth. Believing and speaking truth can help you cancel the negative effects of the lies you have believed because of the power of your tongue. I remind you of that truth every week at the end of each episode of the Believe & Speak podcast by saying this: Your tongue has power. Use it for good.
