Dear Kathi and Michele, I love listening to your podcasts. Thank you for encouraging us to share wisely and thoughtfully the message God has given each one of us to speak and/or write.
Blessings ~ Wendy
Wendy, thanks so much for listening in!
this was super, as always. I, too, get that nasty feeling when I’ve crossed over into the non- comfort/self-focusing mode. I’m still not always clear when that is THAT or just the not wanting to promote myself yet believing the message deal – you both addressed the tension well. And I appreciate it! More on this topic, please! (i’m dense…)
I’m so glad that the episode helped!
