When life seems out of control, how do we find solid ground again?Traci Rhoades is an author, speaker, and social media spiritual influencer from Michigan. She joins me today for an inspiring Hope Talk to discuss what to do when we find our lives on shaky ground. Traci has a great Substack letter, which I highly recommend, and I love her website and Twitter account. She has much to teach us about the church, spiritual disciplines (her writing reminds me of Richard Foster), and how to hold on during hard times. Her books are Not All Who Wander (Spiritually) Are Lost: A Story of Church, and Shaky Ground: What to Do After the Bottom Drops Out. This was a great talk, and I’m excited to introduce you to a new friend today. She was so kind to read my new book and is one of my inside-the-jacket endorsers. Here’s what Traci had to say about Hope is the First Dose. “Lee Warren opens himself up entirely to being seen, and he ministers to readers in the process.”—Traci Rhoades, author of Not All Who Wander (Spiritually) Are LostScripture mentioned: II Timothy 3:15PLEASE SUBSCRIBE to the show wherever you listen!Click here to access the Hope Is the First Dose playlist of hopeful, healing songs!Be sure to check out my new book, Hope Is the First Dose!Here's a free 5-day Bible study on YouVersion/BibleApp based on my new book!Sign up for my weekly Self-Brain Surgery Newsletter here!
