Today, That Jesus Podcast shares a podcast discussion between host Dru Lattin, author Emily Smucker, and me. Themes discussed include boundaries and sacrifice in ministry, genuine relationships, and not being a jerk about racism.

Over at Kingdom Outpost, Abram Martin shares a review of Turtle Heart which you can read here. Because of Abram’s own experience with same-sex desires, he relates to that part of my friend. “My heart broke for Charlene as she danced around the topic and tested the waters before broaching the subject… unsure whether this revelation would change their friendship forever.” Back in May, Abram was also featured on That Jesus Podcast, sharing his experience.

And Nicole Troyer of thedailymrst hosts a review and giveaway of Turtle Heart on Instagram. Follow her account if you are interested. Among other things, Nicole writes on faith, womanhood, and thrift hauls. I have been encouraged by her posts more than once. Nicole and I grew up together. You can check her story for a photo of us back in our school days.

In other news, THIS happened outside my window this morning. An updated sidewalk coming up.
