What did you think of this episode?

Are you pouring yourself out for Jesus and running on empty? Today’s guest offers the right fuel to keep you going!

Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. I’m your host, Linda Goldfarb. Each week, I share tips and strategies from writing and publishing industry experts to help you succeed in your craft. I’m so happy you’re tuning in. In this episode, you’ll discover how to make wise choices during uncertain times.

Today’s guest is Katie M. Reid, a dynamic Bible teacher and the author of four books (Made Like Martha, God, What Do I Do?, and two fiction rom coms, A Very Bavarian Christmas and A Very Bavarian Summer). Trained in education, Katie teaches around her kitchen table, in the classroom, and around the country. She hosted the Martha + Mary Show podcast and runs the Martha + Mary Show Sisterhood group on Facebook. Following Jesus, marrying her husband, and being a mom to five… are the best decisions she's made. Cut-to-the-chase conversations, sunsets, and musicals are a few of her favorite things.

Alright, sis – help us out here, how can we… Make wise decisions in uncertain times

1 - What are wise decisions we can make, even when we’re not sure what to do next?

2 - How do we move from a place of striving to a place of settledness when we’re wired like Martha (type A)? In other words, how can we be poured out for God but not burned out?

3 - What do we do when we face a dead end in our writing journey?
