The main topic is writing. To be more specific, writing for children and middle grades. Both of these amazing authors have ventured into the children’s literature category and I give their works a big thumbs up. Evidently so do publishers because both of them have other children’s books in the works.

We connected when I saw on Twitter that she had tagged my podcast, along with several others, as one that covers race conversations. I was honored to be mentioned on Leslie’s list.
So I was perusing the blogosphere in March and saw Leslie’s series of posts exploring whiteness and racial perspectives called 31 Days of #WOKE. She wrote every day for the entire month of March on this theme. You might not have time to read every post, but scan throu...2017-04-2447 minFaith ConversationsMelinda Schmidt-episode 80
Melinda Schmidt, my long time dear friend and co-host when I was in radio, made a trip to Sarasota! Lots of sightseeing and good food and fun happened! It was a treat to sit down with her and have microphones in front of us again! She turned the tables on me and interviewed me on the podcast, so a little different take than usual. You can find both of us on our respective Facebook pages, here and here. You can also find us at the Friends of Midday Facebook page. If you haven’t ‘liked’ that page, you might want to...2017-04-1747 minFaith ConversationsJames Martin-episode 79
This is Holy Week and I thought the perfect guest would be Father James Martin talking about his book Seven Last Words. This is the week we spend looking at the days Jesus spent between the triumphal entry into Jerusalem and His death on the cross. On this podcast we will focus on the last words that Jesus spoke while on the cross. James is a brilliant and engaging guest and besides being an author, he is editor at large of the Jesuit magazine America.
My favorite book of Father Martin’s, and one I hope to talk wit...2017-04-1036 minFaith ConversationsMichelle Van Loon, Mike Murphy-episode 78Michelle Van Loon is a marvelous writer and speaker. She is always thoughtful and it was wonderful to have her join Mike and me in our Florida Room for a conversation. Michelle’s latest book is Moments and Days and it is worth the read. I talked with her on Faith Conversations around the time her book released. You can hear that conversation here. We spent most of our time talking about an article Michelle is researching. She was given an interesting assignment of keeping a fun journal. Check out the podcast to hear the fuller conversation.

Doubts crept—well, actually—raced in. Marriage and children came and church involvement expanded to the role of Deacon. How do you live as a Southern Baptist Deacon and an atheist? Check out the podcast, and for the deeper story, read Mike’s book Finding God in the Waves.

She’d also earned the title “The Nicest Girl Online.” She had it all with more knocking on her door.
What happened next surprised everyone. She decided to trade it in for the slow life. Lots of reasons led to that decision, all of which she talks about in her book Chasing Slow. We focus on aspects of her journey on Faith Conversations in an engaging dialog that you won’...2017-03-2044 minFaith ConversationsErin Straza-episode 75Erin Straza is managing editor of Christ and Pop Culture Digital Magazine, host of Persuasion podcast, and author of Comfort Detox: Finding Freedom From Habits That Bind You. You might guess that she is a thoughtful woman with great outlets for her creativity and thought at her disposal. You’d be right. As we focused on her new book Comfort Detox, you’d also be right to say that she has had to fight with her own areas of life where she’s run for false instead of true comfort, just like the rest of us. Over the course of the podcas...2017-03-1333 minFaith Conversationsmike murphy-episode 74My husband Mike Murphy joins me this week on Faith Conversations. We talk about a variety of things including Lent, important self-reflective questions, and lying.
Here is the Lenten devotional Mike and I subscribe to and are really enjoying. It is a product of Biola University and their Center for Christianity, Culture and the Arts. We think it’s really well done.

Most of us have some kind of dream fermenting in us, but wonder if it will ever be realized. In her book The Sound of a Million Dreams, a memoir, she talks about what it feels like to have a dream stirring deep inside.
How do we develop the courage to step into the places of our most vulnerable longing and not just do the work of God, but become the person God most wants us to be?

So when someone like Leslie writes about the storms that might come and looks at the gospel stories of the disciples with Jesus out on the Sea of Galilee, she just might know what she is talking about. In her book, Crossing the Waters, she writes about following Jesus through the storms, the fish, t...2017-02-2031 minFaith Conversationssteven curtis chapman-episode 71Steven Curtis Chapman is synonymous with Christian music. His career has spanned 30 years and is still going. He has mentored countless young, up-and-coming artists including those under his own roof.
His sons Will Franklin and Caleb have now made their own mark as Colony House. Will’s wife, Jillian Edwards, has her own mainstream career and, in the words of Steven Curtis and others, sings like an angel.

On the podcast, Dale talks about how people immigrate to the United States and how refugees come to live in this country. She also spends time on the process that each goes through.
Dale also talked about several organizations where you can donate to help the Syrian refugee crisis. Here are a couple that she mentioned:

She also provides spiritual direction through Anam Cara Ministries and is a part-time instructor for the Benedictine Spiritual Formation Program at Benet Hill Monastery. She, along with her husband and daughter, make their home in Colorado Springs.
Tara focuses on a much neglected topic in her book Embracing the Body. The title says it all and in the evangelical church the body has been much neglected. It has been split off from the soul and basically labeled as less important. That could not be further from the truth. Tara say...2017-01-3043 minFaith ConversationsMike Murphy-Episode 68My husband, Mike Murphy, joins me again as we continue our series on how to move forward when we are stuck. We look at some of the stages of grief and talk about how to refocus our lives after loss. We also open up the Faith Conversations mailbag and answer one of the recent questions we’ve received via email. If you’d like us to tackle a question on the podcast you can email me at producer@anitalustrea.com.

Ever happened to you? My guess is, if you have breath in your lungs, it has happened to you. And when it happens to us, it affects those around us.
Mike reads an insightful poem on the podcast called Autobiography in 5 Chapters by Portia Nelson that some of you might want to look up and ponder during some quiet moments you find. We also suggested a resource that both of us have worked our way...2017-01-1628 minFaith ConversationsRenee Swope-Episode 66Everyone longs for meaningful relationships! Community is modeled first by the Trinity–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit–but even with that ultimate model we struggle to develop deep friendships. Sometimes our issue is to admit our need for deeper relationships.
Renee Swope is part of the (in)courage community, and they’ve put together a great resource called Craving Connection: 30 challenges for real life engagement. The (in)courage community of contributors addresses deeper connection with God as well as purposeful connection with friends and being more intentional about developing community.

Annie Dillard’s words, “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives,” are a touchstone for the book, a quote from which everything emanates. Tish looks at how transformation takes place. We all have ordinary elements in our lives. Even the President wakes up with bad breath and has to brush his teeth. Everyone deals with difficult drivers on the freeway, or maybe it’s us! How do we live in the ordinary...2017-01-0234 minFaith ConversationsLeslie Vernick-Episode 64Leslie Vernick is a wise voice. She is a relational coach with a focus on helping women in difficult relationships. Her latest book, The Emotionally Destructive Marriage, is essential for anyone in a difficult and possibly abusive marriage.
On the podcast we talk about how each of us just made a major move—me to Sarasota, Florida, as many of you know, and Leslie to Arizona. Leslie and her husband moved cross country from Pennsylvania, and Mike and I went North to South from Chicago to Florida. We both traded up for a better climate! But what are t...2016-12-2631 minFaith ConversationsEpisode 63-Esther EmeryEsther Emery is effervescent and fascinating. Not only is she a beautiful writer, but her subject matter hit me where it hurts. She disconnected from the internet for a whole year. In her book, What Falls From the Sky, she recounts what precipitated her disconnection and how the quiet space that opened up for her led her back to God.
Today, Esther, her husband, and their three children live off the grid in a yurt in the foothills of Idaho’s Rocky Mountains. Don’t know what a yurt is? Esther explains on the podcast. Hers is a uniqu...2016-12-1930 minFaith ConversationsEpisode 62-Carolyn Custis JamesCarolyn Custis James began her influence on my life when I found a copy of her first book, When Life and Beliefs Collide. Her influence continued with each subsequent book. I’m pleased she could join me this week as we focus on her very relevant book, Malestrom.
There are a plethora of distorted images of manhood in our society and even in the church. Carolyn discusses those and focuses on stories of some incredible men in the Bible. You’ll want to listen to the podcast as she casts a vision for manhood that is big enough...2016-12-1234 minFaith ConversationsEpisode 61-Big TransitionsThis week’s podcast is all about a huge transition taking place in Mike’s and my life. He is my guest and we are talking with everyone who encounters transitions in life. So, basically, everyone on the planet.
We are leaning into this advent season and leaning into God as we begin a new life in a different location. I hope you have time to check out this week’s podcast for your own dose of encouragement if you are in a new season of life.

He is inspiring and he has written an important book with a powerful message for anyone who despairs about neighborhoods riddled with poverty and schools with struggling students. In fact, if you give Mike a hearing, God might just tap you on the shoulder to be a part of the solution, to help connect your church with a school that needs the nurturing presence of God’s people.
This might be my most favorite podcast yet.

In their new book, Belonging and Becoming, Mark and Lisa cast a compelling vision for all that a family can be. They talk from a platform of experience as well as compassion, but certainly not as people who have it all figured out. They help spark our imaginations for what family life can look like.

He serves as the director of Fuller Theological Seminary’s Brehm Center for Worship, Theology, and the Arts. Above all, Fujimura is recognized worldwide as a cultural shaper. He is a fascinating person with a deep heart of compassion and one of the most down to earth people I’ve met.
His latest book, Silence and Beauty, is really a memoir focusing on hidden faith born of suffering. Makoto talks much about Shusaku Endo’s novel, Silence, and the impact the reading of Endo’s book had on him while...2016-11-0736 minFaith ConversationsEpisode 57-Mike, John and AnitaMy son John came home from South Carolina for a week. He gets married this coming June, so my opportunities to have him join me on the podcast won’t come along as often, and I am always interested to hear thoughts from younger voices. My husband Mike Murphy also joins me as we discuss the place of sports in society as well as how we respond when unexpected circumstances or unexpected expenses present themselves.

2016-10-3139 minFaith ConversationsEpisode 56 Brian McLarenBrian McLaren joins me this week on the podcast. His latest book, The Great Spiritual Migration, grabbed my attention from the first words. As I read the subtitle, How the World’s Largest Religion is Seeking a Better Way to be Christian, I thought about the current election cycle and all that I’m reading on social media, and I want a better way to be Christian. There is, however, much more to the book than what I intimate the subtitle means. In fact, my desire in this season would just be a spillover of a larger conversation that is beginn...2016-10-2434 minFaith ConversationsEpisode 55-James Martin, SJFather James Martin makes a return visit to Faith Conversations this week. The focus of our conversation, which includes my husband Mike Murphy as co-host, is Father Martin’s book My Life With the Saints.
It is the 10th anniversary of the book’s publication and Father James wrote a new epilogue for the book. It’s a fascinating conversation about these mentors through history and how they have influenced many of us. We also talk about the difference between Catholic and Protestant Saints and learn, after 10 years, who James Martin might have included in the book if he w...2016-10-1732 minFaith ConversationsEpisode 54-Jenny Rae ArmstrongJenny Rae Armstrong is a woman on a mission. She has walked into the fullness of who God created her to be and encourages all of us to do the same. As a wife and mom of four boys, she finished her degree and headed to Seminary where she is in the process of completing her MDiv. Today, in her words, she splits her time between studying, pastoring, writing, and mommy-ing.

First and foremost, I’ve been producing Faith Conversations for a whole year! This episode marks the beginning of year 2 for the podcast. I’ve heard from so many of you throughout the last year and I’m grateful for your interest in and support of Faith Conversations. If you are interested in supporting the podcast financially, I’m hoping to get a number of you who would give $15 or $20 a month. You can do that monthly or give it in a single amount as some of you have done.

With a foreword by Eugene Peterson, and endorsements from Glennon Doyle Melton, Sarah Bessey, and Seth Haines, you know you have a winner!
It is beautifully written and I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Katherine. She is an author and an associate minister of the First Congregational Church in Western Springs, Illinois. She is the mother of two daughters and wife of Benjamin.

She is a regular contributor to Christianity Today‘s popular Her.meneutics blog for women, and she blogs for the Patheos.com Evangelical channel.
Her recent release, Moments and Days, is the focus of this week’s Faith Conversations. We’ll look at the gift of time and how the Jewish and Christian calendars speak into our lives.
Happy Listening!

I immediately liked her. Her energy and enthusiasm were contagious! You’ll hear her energy on the podcast. Fast forward a few years. Brenda is now a grandma and also an empty nester. Life looks different. God has walked with she and her family through some hard times. Read that story here. On the other side of her book Love No Matter What, God is doing a new thing and speaking in new ways.

That pretty much describes most of us born and raised in the west, especially in the United States. Shauna Niequist is no different. Growing up in a mega church and then joining the staff of that church, there were plenty of expectations on her. She walked into those expectations and lived up to them even to the point of exhaustion and not enjoying the life she had created for herself.
If you can identify with racing and running and making ev...2016-09-0533 minFaith ConversationsEpisode 48 Ruth EverhartI first encountered Ruth Everhart‘s writing while reading a friend’s blog post. I knew I had to read her book Ruined. I also knew I could hardly bear to read her book Ruined. When Ruth was a senior at a small midwestern college, two armed intruders held her and her 4 roommates captive and took turns raping them. This is every woman’s greatest fear, or some variation of it.
What surprised me most was that Ruth is a Presbyterian pastor and has been for two decades. What did the healing journey look like that brought her from serio...2016-08-2937 minFaith ConversationsEpisode 32 Mike Murphy’s RumblingsOn this episode of Faith Conversations, my husband Mike Murphy joins me to talk about the art of conversation and to discuss some of the points on his Friday Rumblings, a list that he posts each week on Facebook. You can find his Facebook page here.
We get into all kinds of sticky conversations on this episode. Here are Mike’s rumblings for this week:
Rumblings. May 6, 2016

Peacemaking is a dangerous, radica...2016-05-0930 minFaith ConversationsOn God Transcending TimeI love a good conversation. I like sticking to singular topics, but I also enjoy when a variety of topics are raised and the dialog meanders over the river and through the woods and back again. I have no expectation to arrive at grandmother’s house!
My husband Mike Murphy and my son John Lustrea joined me again this week as we talked about our view of time vs. God’s reality of transcending time. We look at why many of us struggle against time, whether that’s looking forward or looking back. Our consensus was that most of...2016-02-1529 minFaith ConversationsThe Panel Talks About Scripture and Faith ShiftingLast week our panel talked about the role villains play and whether there is validity to being the contrarian in a conversation. It was fun having two millennials on the panel along with a 50-something and 60-something panelist. This week we keep the same panel (Anita Lustrea, Mike Murphy, John Lustrea, Wes Williams) and continue the conversation where we talk about scripture and our view of it as well as the role of doubt in our faith and if we do, indeed, struggle with doubts or faith questions, and honestly grapple with specific issues, then does our faith shift?...2016-01-1130 minFaith ConversationsA Panel Discusses Villains and Contrarian ViewpointsWhat do we think of villains? And I don’t mean the kind that show up in superhero movies…..or do I? Do you ever consider yourself a villain?
On this week’s podcast we discuss the place of the villain. When I say discuss, I mean we have a panel in place to offer their opinions. Two of our panel members sometimes feel they are villains. How do we assign that descriptor in Christian circles, and should we? Sometimes we label a person a villain just because they hold a contrary point of view. How often in cur...2016-01-0426 minFaith ConversationsBeth Booram on Starting Something New
Beth Booram is a deep feeler who loves to think! That is reason enough for me to have a conversation with her. But she is also an extrovert with a penchant for solitude. And if you’ve read some of her books, you know Beth is an artist who sees the hand of God in even the smallest touches, tastes, smells, and audible encounters with creation.
Today, especially since it’s the inaugural episode of Anita Lustrea Faith Conversations, we will talk about Starting Something New, Beth’s latest book. Maybe you find yourself in a place...2015-10-0127 min
