On this episode of the Journeywomen podcast I chatted with author and speaker Ann Swindell about her story of waiting and hope. Ann's first book, Still Waiting: Hope for When God Doesn't Give You What You Want, just released with Tyndale House Publishers. Her work has appeared in The Gospel Coalition, CT Women, RELEVANT, Deeply Rooted, Desiring God, Darling Magazine, and (in)courage, among others. Ann is passionate about helping other writers tell their stories powerfully. I sat under Ann’s teaching via her online writing course, Writing With Grace. I’m so excited to have her with us today on the Journeywomen podcast to share her story of waiting and to help us better understand how we can share our stories in light of the gospel. As you will hear, the way Ann communicates her story of waiting is potent. I hope you will connect with her on social media and purchase her book—both of which you can find on the show notes at www.hunterbeless.com. As always, thanks for all of the love and support you guys extend to the Journeywomen podcast! If you want to know how you can help, let me tell you. Write a review! The directions for how to do so are on the podcast tab of the website. You can also connect with other Journeywomen throughout the week via Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook @journeywomenpodcast. Thanks again for listening and I’ll see you here, next week!
