On today's episode, we have special guest Megan Schaulis, author of The Susa Chronicles. A futuristic dystopian retelling of the book of Esther from the Bible, Megan finishes her chronicles with her last installment, Proclaimer, which comes out on April 8! Megan and our host, Lydia Summer, sit down to discuss her books as a whole, what readers can anticipate for her next book, how she started writing amongst other ventures God has called her to, how her church has supported her every step of the way in publishing her first book, and so much more!

Stick around! This episode is a whole lot of fun. And if you're not jumping to buy her books right after you hear our conversation, I will be entirely surprised!

As a heads up, you'll notice that this episode we have some major technical difficulties! We apologize for the poor quality, but we hope the topic of conversation will more than make up for it. For best quality of sound, listen with headphones.

Today we have our host, Lydia Summer, sitting down with her friend, Lauren Fisackerly! What seemed like fate in their meeting, Lauren and Lydia bonded over a mutual love of writing, a desire to share Truth, and our season of singleness. Lauren shares on the show with us some of her experiences on dating and dating apps, while also sharing about waiting on the Lord in her season of singleness. Even if God were to say no to her desire for marriage, Lauren still trusts that God is good, and that her singleness is for her good, as well as an opportunity to poor more into others' lives.

Stay tuned until the end where Lauren prays over our fellow single friends! Whether you're single or married, we believe and pray that this conversation will be an encouragement to you.

Welcome back to another episode of Dressed in Splendeur!

We have the wonderful privilege to sit down with floral design entrepreneur, Michaela Mantarian today! Living and serving the Chicagoland area, Michaela has been designing and arranging florals for weddings and events since 2017. But that wasn't always a dream of her heart to run a floral design business. What started off with her desire to serve in the church, and running a side business as she started her first job in church ministry, Michaela found that the Lord opened up the door for her to have a floral ministry.

Now she has a thriving business with a wonderful team and you can even find her floral cart at farmers' markets in Chicagoland.

Her testimony is a wonderful one to listen to if you feel like you're on a path that you find yourself wandering off by the Lord's leading.

We pray that this conversation will be an encouragement to all those who hear it today.
