This is episode originally aired in Nov of 2015.
Our copy is duct-taped and well-loved. . .
My oldest son beamed telling me how he’s read the whole Bible in a couple weeks. . .
It’s sold almost 2 million copies. . .
Children (and adults) have been wooed by the story of their Great Rescuer. Of His ‘Never-Stopping, Never Giving Up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever Love.’
And now “The Jesus Storybook Bible” is even more accessible.
This week’s podcast guest, author Sally Lloyd-Jones, chats with me about her newest project. . .
Same great content, new design, new title. . .for a new audience. “The Story of God’s Love for You” is now available. For the person you never would have thought to give a children’s Bible. The person who needs to hear:
“It’s not about rules, so keeping them God will love us. Or heroes we’re supposed to copy so God will love us. It’s about a God who loved us before we even knew Him. A God who will move heaven and earth to be with His children.” –Sally Lloyd-Jones
In this episode, Sally shares a little of her background and the inspiration behind “The Jesus Storybook Bible”. We also spend time talking about how God uses stories to reach our hearts.
Sally knows how to speak grace and the gospel message. Her words will feel like a deep cleansing breath. Her books are daily reminders of grace. The grace we long to show ourselves and our children.

"We can feel isolated – that’s real, but we can’t stay there. We have the entire trinity on our side, the Father loving us fiercely and making a good plan, the Holy Spirit interceding on our behalf, our coheir Christ interceding and making a way for us.
Don’t believe the lie that it’s all on your shoulders, and it’s all up to you and you have no clue where to go or what to do. He is a very big God, and what’s better – He is incredibly near." --Jess Connolly, A Naptime Diary
This is an edited, republished episode from April 2015.
In this episode Jess openly shares about her bouts with depression. She offers three “helps” for the gal struggling to have hope. I nodded with agreement at everything she says.
Especially the clinging to intimacy with God part. The praying out loud, walking around your house reading Scripture part.
Cuz motherhood is no joke. There is an invisible battle raging all around us. We aren’t alone. Like Jess said we have the entire trinity on our side.

This episode originally aired in Nov 2016
Today’s guest is Christy Nockels, Dove award winning musician and mom to three children. In 2006 she made the God-led choice to step away from the music industry, for a time, to pour into her family.
In 2016 she released the solo Christmas album, “The Thrill of Hope”. With a blend of classic Christmas carols and original pieces, she has crafted a beautiful addition to our Christmas music collections.
In this episode you’ll hear the inspiration behind the songs, “Amaryllis” and “Wrap This One Up”. . .both stories gave me goosebumps. I won’t think of the Bethlehem shepherds the same way again. And the winter blooming amaryllis reminds us the hope Jesus brought . . .
Our King has come, He’s with us now & He’s making all things new again. That’s the thrill of hope.
What we chat about:- How motherhood takes you from peaceful quiet times to sock-and-underwear prayers
- The secret of simple scripture and open dialogue with God
- Christy’s new album “The Thrill of Hope”- her first Christmas album!
- The message of the amaryllis for those with heavy hearts in the Christmas season
- How “wrapped in swaddling clothes” may have meant much more to the shepherds
- Christy’s song on the new album that makes her listeners “ugly cry”
- Psalm 37:4-7 “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
- The Glorious in the Mundane podcast
- “The Thrill of Hope” available on Christy’s site or Amazon**
- Ellie Holcomb
- PDF of “Amaryllis” lyrics I made. . .
