ANA LUISA

Today on the podcast we have sponsor Ana Luisa Jewelry.  Ana Luisa was founded to bring clarity to the jewelry industry. They have spent many years working for traditional luxury brands, the dubious manufacturing, and retail markups did not look right to them. Ana Luisa wanted to write a more beautiful story from beginning to end—starting with recycled materials whenever possible, transparent business practices always, and small-batch designs that are kind to our Earth.

Ana Luisa creates sustainably-crafted pieces that bring joy to those who wear them, and to those who make them, with the conviction that luxury can be enjoyed without excess.

One piece that I enjoy wearing is the Ana Gold necklace.  It is perfect for layering, could be worn by itself or I can add a pendant to it as well.

PODCAST RECOMMENDATION

PODCAST RECOMMENDATION 

 

This week I want to share with you a podcast called Saved by the City.  I found this podcast through following Katelyn Beaty and her book called A Woman’s Place: The surprising truth about why God intends every woman to work.  In the podcast Katelyn is joined by her co host Roxy Stone to chat about various topics from fashion to dating to shattering the glass ceilings.  

 

Roxy and Katelyn grew up in the white evangelical American heartland. Both were warned moving to a supposed bastion of secular culture would be dangerous to their faith. While navigating a city where people sleep in on Sunday mornings and the chaste motto “true love waits” isn’t a thing, the two have found a renewed, vibrant faith that has been both strengthened and stretched in the metropolis.

PreachersnSneakers is the ultimate Christian culture podcast where we wrestle with tough questions about for-profit faith, Christian self-help and celebrity culture within faith communities. An interview-based podcast that questions the status-quo, hosted by Ben Kirby-creator of the @preachersnsneakers Instagram account, which highlights the value of your favorite pastor's footwear.

Welcome to our 34th episode, part two with the musical trio of sisters Brittany, Miriah and Sierra of Harmony Roads.  This is a two parter, so if you did not get a chance to listen to part one in episode 33 I would recommend pausing this episode and going back and listening to episode 33 before listening to this episode.

This week I want to share with you a podcast that my husband shared with me called Inside the Adventure.  The Inside the Adventure podcast features the inside stories of the struggles and victories of building an unconventional lifestyle in the world of adventure and travel. From record-breaking adventure athletes, to innovative outdoor entrepreneurs, to everyday people who took a chance on the things they love, these are the stories that will inspire you to face your fears and make life into the adventure it’s meant to be. I enjoyed how the guest shares in a long form interview fashion their story and their passions, and how they got to where they are today.

Episode 33: Harmony Roads - Part One

Episode 33 we have sisters Brittany, Miriah and Sierra of Harmony Roads.  Brittany, Miriah and Sierra share the passion for creating music together through their band Harmony Roads.  These sisters share about how they have always been dabbling in music and how it became a more formal passion along with how their lifes’ changing of seasons allowed them to pause and pursue other passions.  

 

This is the first time that we have had a trio come and share their story and their passions on the podcast.  We will be splitting this episode up into two parter.  This week we will hear the first half of their story on how the sisters grew up and how their collective passion for music grew together and what life looked like for them growing up and developing their passions as individuals.  Next week we will hear about what collective passion for music and their band looks like for them as adults as well as diving into some lessons and areas that they have learned from.

 

You are for sure going to want to hear Brittney, Miriah and Sierra’s story as they highlight their passions of being Musicians, having a Family Ministry, and becoming Authors & Podcasters .  No matter if this is your story and you can relate to them or not I believe that there is something in this episode for you.

QUOTES

 

“Pastors should be political because the Gospel is political, the Bible is political, not paristican Christanity is not republican or democrat.”

“We, as pastors, need to talk about issues that people are voting about.  Because if we don't talk about them, who will?”  

“If people are voting on certain things, then let's have their faith inform their voting.”

“If I am making a decision politically then my faith should inform those decisions.”

“We are in this time in our country of racial injustice and unrest and protests.  And I think that the church cannot be silent anymore.  Clergy need to speak up in ways that uphold the Biblical truths and ideas of hospitality and love and justice.”

RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS

 

• Read all you can!  Some of Emily’s suggestions:
  • Barbara Taylor
  • Lisa Sharon Harper
  • “I’m Still Here” Austin Channing Brown
    • Brings together ministry and racial injustice
    • Midwest prospective

PODCAST RECOMMENDATION 

 

Hey Listeners!  Some of you may have heard a big part of my story on how I started this podcast.  During my day job I get to listen to podcasts all day long.  The ones I really enjoy are ones that encompass someone’s story and their passion(s).  Since I am an avid podcast listener I wanted to start sharing podcasts and podcast episodes that I have enjoyed and that I think you will enjoy as well.

This week I want to share with you a podcast called the Global News Podcast presented by the BBC.  In this podcast you can hear the day’s top stories from BBC News. Delivered twice a day on weekdays, daily at weekends.  Usually the podcast is about 20-30 minutes depending on the news of the day.  One feature that I enjoy is the variety of countries that are being reported on that I might not have heard about.  In that same vein you are able to hear the literal different types of voices from the Globe.
