  SPEAKER_00: Hi friends, welcome to season two of the Simply Whole Hearted Podcast.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yay, we are back at it, and I am thrilled to be sharing a ton of wonderful new conversations, new stories, new music, and even a new podcast sponsor this season.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_00: We've got a lot in store.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, um, because this season two is gonna take us into the Christmas holiday, we're going to be doing some Christmas themed conversations, music, um, books, and inspiration.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: So fall is truly one of most favorite, my most favorite time of the year.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: September 1st to me is like the best day ever because it's the beginning of some wonderful, joy-filled months for us.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: Now, to be honest, I really love every change of season because it's just change and it's different and it's new, and we're blessed to live here in the Midwest where we get to really experience full seasonal change, and the spring is is colorful and fragrant, um, along with some allergies, but it's green and beautiful, and summer is hot, but we have pools to go hang out in, and fall is usually just a glorious display of color and bounty here in the Midwest.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: And winter, I honestly don't mind winter because we have a fireplace, and it usually means just getting a little bit more cozy, a slower pace of life, um, for just a little bit, like a month or so before we just kind of kick up and give in for spring and all that we get to enjoy with that.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: So, yay, it's fall and it's season two, and we've got a lot of wonderful things coming to you.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: You may have noticed we have new music.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: This is one of the first things I wanted to take a few minutes and share about this new soundtrack that we have to just enter into the conversation of the Simply Wholehearted podcast.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: This song is Heavenly Things.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: Um it's track four from the album Down Here and Up Above.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: This is an Enter the Worship Circle album that came out this year of 2017 in January.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: Uh recorded the musicians um Ben Pazley and Carla Adolf got together again after um a many-year absence and recorded these six songs.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: So we'll be having a podcast conversation with them, which will be released in October of this year.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: And they have a lot to share and a beautiful heart and passion for worship music and music in general, and they have been in this game for a long time.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: I actually met Ben Pasley and his wife Robin Pasley when I was in high school back in the mid-90s.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: They came and did um a I think it was probably a weekend conference or something like that.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: I just remember being in a high school gym, and there Robin was um playing percussion, and she had this gorgeous curly hair, and Ben was on guitar, and he had wild long hair, and they were talking about being a friend of God and the bride of Christ and what it looked like to have relationship with Jesus.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: For me, that started a whole nother journey, and that's another story for another time.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: But this was their message over 20 years ago, and it's something that they've stayed true to and taken on many forms for them as they've moved from um south um in the United States to northern Ohio and then to Colorado, where they have raised um two boys who are now in high school themselves, which I can't believe because I used to nanny for them, and I can't believe they're that old now.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: But Ben and Robin Pasley have um done a few albums with Inner the Worship Circle.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: They joined, they originally were a hundred portraits back in the 90s, and they joined up with Waterdeep to form the first circle, the first Inner the Worship Circle album.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: And that I don't remember when that came out, maybe the late 90s, uh early 2000s.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: But um, they've done several albums together and then they took um several-year break just to explore different um solo albums and different ministry opportunities that the Lord was leading them in.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: So uh recently, and they'll be able to share their story for themselves.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: The Lord brought Ben Pasley and Carla Adolph together again, where they wrote some music and recorded it and put it together in the album that came out this January.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: So we are thrilled and honored to use their soundtrack um as our soundtrack for the Simply Wholehearted podcasts um this season.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: Now, um I wanted to just give a shout out and kind of explain a little bit of why we've had the podcast and what's our some of our reasoning behind that.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: And one of the the music that we had last season, and a lot of the reason why I even had a podcast was this amazing family who goes to our church Radiant in Kansas City.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: The Ray family were are just such giving, generous folks.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: I can't even begin to just share how wonderful they are.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: And I kind of have this idea that I would love to do a podcast.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: And my husband was so encouraging, and I kind of thought it was a crazy idea, but I took some training and how to do it and thought it might be possible, but the technology side of things was a little bit still beyond me.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: And I reached out and the Ray family said, Hey, we'd like to help you.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: And sure enough, not only did they help me, but even Andrew Ray put together the happy, um, positive little Diddy that has been our show opener for season one.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: So Andrew is off to college, and we have certainly missed his his help and his talent for sure here.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: And um it kind of was a time to reflect and pause and go, okay, is this something we want to keep doing?
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: We already had recorded some podcasts that I knew that I wanted to get out and share some of these wonderful conversations that had already transpired, but I wasn't sure if we should continue to record.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: Some wonderful different opportunities came up, and I thought, you know what, I think the Lord is still giving a green light on this podcast.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: The whole reason why I, you know, wanted to do it is one, I love podcasts myself, but two, I felt like the Lord had introduced me to a lot of people over the years who had these great stories.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm a natural resource sharer, and I'm a networker, and I love to introduce my friends to my other friends, and because I know their stories and I know that they might bless one another or be able to encourage each other in some small way.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: So that's kind of my desire and my drive behind having this simply wholehearted podcast.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm so grateful when my friend, newer friend Ashley Pittman, said yes to my crazy idea and has been a wonderful co-host um in all our conversations, and she's um still willing to be a part of season two, and she'll be popping in for most of our conversations throughout this next season.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: Um, we also have a new podcast sponsor.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: Last season, the Super Summer Challenge was our podcast sponsor, and also kind of the another reason behind the reason I had a podcast to begin with is that I really wanted to share this message of intentional parenting and this tool and this resource that could help parents build and form um better memories during the summer months and have less crazy days where they weren't sure what to do with their kids and pulling their hair out.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: So you've heard me talk about lots of that.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: If you're new to the podcast, be sure and check out episode seven to begin with if you want to hear about the super summer challenge.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: And I believe we have a few more others where we talked about the Simply Summer workshop, where you learn how to create a Simply Summer, the summer you've always wanted, as well as diving into creating a super summer challenge that works for your family.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: Now I'm gonna share a little bit about our new podcast sponsor, The Unseen Journey.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: The Unseen Journey is a Facebook group.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: You can find us now on Facebook and request to join this group.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's open to you and your friends.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: And we're just coming together to go through the book study written for Sarah Hagerty's newest book, Unseen, a gift, the gift of being hidden in a world that loves to be noticed.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: I think the title explains well the book.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and if you haven't heard about it before, we are gonna be having a podcast um coming up in October with Sarah Hagerty, where she can share a little bit more about that message and the story behind the book.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be a great episode that I'm looking forward to.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: Um there's a lot to share about it, and one of the um one of the things I was honored to do this year was to write a book study to accompany the book called The Unseen Way.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: And this is where we just took some of the scripture that Sarah had already incorporated in the book and the story, and um we um we just created some conversation prompts.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: So as women gather together uh as a book club or as a small group or as a Bible study, they can kind of get together and share some of their insights and their own personal stories as they as they just learn what um what the gift of being hidden really is all about for them.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: So I am thrilled to have partnered with several wonderful women and as we launch this group and there will be many leadership voices as we um as we're all sharing our stories and also um sharing some helpful leadership insight if you are leading a group or a Bible study or a book club um and are going happen to be going through this book or you maybe want to after the Christmas holiday, um we would love to have you just pop in and glean what information you can as we um as just we enjoy having some conversation and some fellowship in this way.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: Since we can't all get together at 5 a.m.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: at Fridays to discuss this, we wanted to make it available to everyone to join in the conversation.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_00: So I've been having a ton of fun with that, and I'm sure you'll be hearing more along the way.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: Not only do we have new music and a new podcast sponsor, but we also have giveaways this season.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I am I love to give gifts.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: It really is uh probably one of my love languages and something that I love to do.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: So I was thrilled when several of the authors that were interviewing and even musicians were like, yeah, we want to give some away to your audience.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm still in the process of learning how it all works to do giveaways and and all that sort of stuff.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: But for this episode, we're giving away a couple of copies of Unseen, the gift of being hidden in a world that loves to be noticed.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: So you want to make sure you check out the show notes for the details on that giveaway, and we'll be sure and um sharing it on social media and all the places that we hang out with.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: So if you don't have your copy yet or you want an extra one to give away, be sure and find out how you can maybe enter to win your own free copy.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: Now, besides reading Unseen, the gift of being hidden in a world that loves to be noticed and writing the book study, I've been reading a ton.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: I usually make a New Year's resolution.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: Well, we actually call it the year goals that we have for our family.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: And one of them for me is to read at least one book a month.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_00: I I tend to have a list ready made of books that I know that are coming out or books that I've been wanting to read that have been sitting on my shelf, usually next to my nightstand, in a big pile of books that I haven't yet reached or gotten to.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: And one of them was Jenny Allen's book, Nothing to Prove.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing to Prove came at a perfect time for me, really, as I was diving into um continuing this podcast and writing the book study and doing doing a lot of things that um were required of me in that season of life.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I wanted to make sure my heart and my intention was right and I was doing it for the right reason.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: And it just gave me such freedom in the process, freedom to fail, really, and freedom to know that if the Lord had called me to it, well, he was gonna meet me, and this was his gig, not mine, and I was just getting to work alongside with him.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: So that's a very brief synopsis of a wonderful book that you should be sure and pick up for yourself.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: Now, also another motivation for sharing some of these books and podcasts that we are listening to is well, we would love to have these authors on our podcasts, but we're probably not quite there yet to reach out to Jenny Allen and get her on this show.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_00: But if you happen to know her, well, I would just like to have a Skype conversation with her and share it with you all.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, be sure and let me know or hook me up if you could.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: Another book that I'm just finishing is Rebecca Lyons You Are Free.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: I got to hear her speak um this springtime on a tour with Ann Voskamp and Christy Knuckles.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um Broken and Free tour.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_00: I also got to um see Jenny Allen as well.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, I it's actually been years since I've gotten to do those sort of things, and probably within a month I got to go to two events like these where some powerhouse women were sharing their stories, sharing their journey, and a lot of beautiful stories um like from Compassion and other organizations that are uh doing their part to make a difference in the world, got to share their their vision and ministry.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: So if you get to see those kind of book tours that come along and to your town and to your area, I encourage you to take a girls' night, take a group of friends to go um to go get to see and hear from them in person because it's always um it's for me, it was a wonderful experience.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: So Rebecca shared her story um um on the Broken and Free tour.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: And I had um heard of her before, but I hadn't really heard of her story.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: It really blessed me and impacted me and encouraged me, and I knew that um her book was gonna be um added to that stack of books that I wanted to read.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: So I didn't quite get to it this summer, but I am just finishing uh I'm on like the last chapter, and I can say wholeheartedly that you would want to get this.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: I was pleasantly surprised by um the writing in the book and the topics and the personal stories that she shared and just how it encouraged me to walk out my freedom in an even deeper way.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: So be sure and check those out.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now, in the podcast arena, uh one of my favorites that I've listened to for quite a while, probably it was one of my first podcasts that I started uh subscribing to and listening to on a regular basis, and that's Annie F.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: Downs That Sounds Fun podcast.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_00: She is a hootie.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_00: If you haven't heard of her yet and you're not subscribing, run over there now, click subscribe, and you'll want to listen to, I'm not sure how many episodes that she has, but she's been going for a couple of years.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_00: She's the author of many books.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_00: I think she's somewhere around eight books, plus some book studies that are just fantastic.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I've read um a few of those, and one of those that I read this last spring is um Looking for Lovely.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_00: Now that is a wonderful, another wonderful read and a great book study book as well.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um, if you have a group that wants to get together and do, um I wouldn't say it's really lighthearted, but it's it covers a bunch of different topics of looking for the lovely in your circumstances.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: So be sure and check those out.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_00: Among the many of my favorite podcasts that uh I listen to on a regular basis, I recently um was catching up on Christy Knuckles podcast called Glorious in the Mundane.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_00: Um, episode 21, she shared some of her story and her journey in the worship business, really, and what it became.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_00: But she had this one quote that I felt like summarized all of kind of this year of events for me that have unfolded in a very surprising way.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I felt like it would really bless you.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_00: So if you haven't listened to Christine Knuckles podcast, be sure and subscribe to it.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's truly a treat for the ears.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: Um she's not only got a gorgeous singing voice, but she's just a real delight to listen and listen to or um play as you um commute or catch up on the dishes.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_00: But this one poke stuck out to me, I wrote it down, and I've been reading it over and over again, and I wanted to share it with you all as kind of just the summary sometimes of why we do what we do.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_00: But she said, be and give away first what you hope to be your provision from God, and watch God be your provision in and through you giving it away.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_00: Make a stir right where you are and be faithful in that smallest way with it.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_00: And watch God come and do God-sized things.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: I believe that's one of my big passions for sharing simply whole-hearted stories is that we just all need to start right where we are with the passions and the desires that God has given us to be faithful in just the smallest way, and it may seem insignificant and it may be unseen a really long time.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: But I believe too that sometimes our greatest things that we achieve for the Lord are not gonna be seen by millions of people, they will be mostly seen by one, and that is really the best thing that we can do and the best audience that we can have.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: So as you guys pop in for the rest of season two, I just want to say thank you so much.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_00: It means the world to me that you would listen and that you would share these podcasts.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_00: And when you guys stop me and say how much you enjoy it, it blesses me more than you can know.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, honestly, I figured the only one who'd ever listen to it was maybe my husband, and I knew my mom didn't have the podcast stop on her phone yet, so I didn't think she'd be listening to it, but I'm thrilled to know that people are and people are being encouraged and blessed to live intentionally in the season of life right where they are.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: So we'll be popping in in just a few days with our newest conversation, and I'm excited to introduce you to her Kristen Schell, who's the author of The Turquoise Table.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_00: I can't wait to tell you all about her and share the conversation that we had with her just a few weeks ago, and a lot of things that we've learned since then as well.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: So I hope that you are having a wonderful day and that you continue to live unplugged, purposeful, and intentional.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: Until next time,
