Description

I enjoyed my time with Amanda Conroy and our discussion of good Christian fiction, non-fiction, and Bible passages that have been on our minds.

Amanda Conroy is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and Colorado, and currently lives in Florida with her husband and two daughters. She has a lovely way of bringing our focus back onto things of eternal value. Her Bible is well-read, and her insights are relatable and relevant to our daily struggles.

Maturity is God’s plan for all of us. We can seek out that maturity in community, and by marveling at God’s wisdom. Today we read some of Proverbs 8 and asked God to bring us into delight and amazement that we are chosen, and beloved. Jesus is our wisdom.

Some authors Amanda mentioned: Karen Kingsbury (The Baxter Series), Francine Rivers, Nichole Deese, and Gabrielle Meyer with the Timeless Series.

We tackled the topic of weakness in the Christian community and how to be safe people for each other. Community builds around weakness (Joni Earekson Tada), so let’s humbly ask for help from the Lord, and from others.

I hope you enjoy our conversation! Tune in for “Sunday Night Live” on February 8th at 4 pm Alaska, 8 pm EST, here on Substack for more delightful and encouraging conversation with Amanda and me!
