What do you do when you have no idea what tomorrow brings?

Our guest, Isaac Einhell, may not have the answer you want to hear, but he does share some incredible encouragement that may help remind you Whose hands you're in. Isaac moved across the country to Nashville when God closed every door for him to find a job back home in California.

After connecting with the local church, finding a wonderful community, and believing that God has Isaac right where he wants him to be, he still is unsure what his future looks like. However, through the action of gratitude and prayer, Isaac continues to trust in God's plan even when tomorrow looks blurry.

We hope you'll be encouraged by Isaac's testimony today! Please rate and review wherever you listen to podcasts, and make sure to subscribe. It really helps drive us up the charts to share more testimonies like Isaac's to listeners like you.

Thank you for your support!

Hospitality. What does that look like? Who is it for? Who is called to be hospitable?

Kenzie, Bella and Lydia do a deep dive into the heart of hospitality for you and hopefully answer your questions on what biblical hospitality looks like. Kenzie and Bella are friends who met in college and bonded over their love for Magnolia Journal, which then lead to their heart for showing hospitality to those around them.

From California to Texas to Tennessee, Kenzie and Bella have followed one another and have always made sure to share the love of Christ through showing hospitality. Whether that looks like hosting people at their tiny apartment, making dinners with and for friends, or even driving your friends to their classes when they don't have a car available to them.

Their heart for hospitality is so evident and we hope that this will encourage you today.

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.

Welcome back to another episode of Dressed in Splendeur!

In our first season we introduced you to a few of our team members from our parent company--SPLENDEUR Magazine. This week, we're introducing a newer member to the team, Kyra Wolfe! Kyra is our In-House poet at SPLENDEUR Magazine, and we are absolutely thrilled to have her! She shares beautiful truths of God through her poetry and it is a blessing to read her work every time.

In this episode, our host, Lydia Summer, gets to meet Kyra face to face for the first time and get to know her testimony. Kyra shares about her upbringing, the trauma she faced as a kid, the way she met Jesus, how her poetry was a tool to share her testimony with others, and how she came to share her art with SPLENDEUR Magazine.

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

Welcome back to another season of Dressed in Splendeur!

It's been too long since we've last released an episode, and there are reasons for that. Our host, Lydia Summer, sits down to share an update on her life, the fears she still has to overcome, and shares briefly what will come in this new season. Lydia also sits down to talk with us about the topic of our conversation today: being a Light in the Darkness.

As this is the theme of our fall issue of our parent company, SPLENDEUR Magazine, Lydia thought it was the best timing, given that we are days away from another presidential election, what it means to shine Christ's light in such a dark world and nation that we live in today. Where people are divided and ideologies have been more perverse and pushed upon our children, it is still important to share the truth of the Gospel, but also to love our neighbors - especially with those who look nothing like us.

This is such an important discussion that we need to have today and every day.

How are we to shine Christ's light? Lydia shares all this and more on today's season premiere.

This week, we have first time author, David Sunde on the show! Our host, Lydia Summer sits down with David to talk about his debut book, Small-Batch Disciplemaking, and how we can learn to make disciples like Jesus did when we walked and lived life with His disciples here on earth. David talks about the different rhythms we can incorporate in discipleship, or as he likes to say "apprenticeship", and we believe this episode has come at the perfect timing during this climate of election year, where we ought to strive to unify the Church more despite our differences, rather than stay divided.

We hope you will be encouraged by Lydia and David's conversation and if you think someone else will be encouraged by this conversation, please share. Please consider ordering David's book! All information is below.
