What can I say?  I love Ellie Holcomb, I basically asked her all the things I was curious about, like “What’s it like to be you?” She was real and honest, and we are pretty much best friends now, so there’s that.

Ellie and her husband Drew (yes from Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors) have now 3 children (she was pregnant with her 3rd child during this interview), so we talked about being a momma and having a music career.  We talked about how through the hard things, she knows even more that God is good deep in inside of her.  She is vibrant and loves Jesus, and it was truly a delight to have her on the show.

20,000 Words is Back!

After taking several much needed weeks off this summer from podcasting and social media,  I am coming into the Fall fresh and ready to dig in with some absolutely amazing women on the podcast, including THE Sandi Patty!  This Fall we have some serious, “let’s talk about the hard, real stuff of life” episodes, but we also have some just plain fun episodes coming your way.  Be sure to subscribe if you haven’t yet!

Y’all, talking to Sandi Patty was such an honor!  Who hasn’t been a fan of her music over the years?   There is so much to Sandi’s story that I did not know, until getting my hands on an advance copy of her new book.  She shared with me about sexual abuse she experienced as a child, what she would go back and tell the younger version of herself, and she just encouraged me personally so much as a young mom and wife.  We both cried, so you know it was a good one!
