This week, we have the extreme privilege of interviewing the "Deborah Woman" from our current Spring Issue of SPLENDEUR Magazine, Marla Jo Hollis. Each issue, SPLENDEUR highlights a woman who exemplifies traits of a godly, bold woman of faith, and Marla was a clear choice to feature!

Marla is a woman with many hats, but it all comes down to following God's calling on her life through how He made her. She and our host, Lydia Summer, discuss a lot about what it means to be uniquely YOU, and how God never mistakes when He created His image-bearing children. What we might discount as "insignificant" or "unimportant", God says that with every detail He created you to be and look like, it matters.

We hope you will be encouraged by Marla's testimony, and if you want to learn and read more, order our spring issue today! If you think someone else will be encouraged by this conversation, please share.

Welcome back to another episode of Dressed in Splendeur!

It's been a little quiet lately on the pod, but we are back with quite a doozy of an episode to bring us back to the rhythms of sharing episodes that will encourage you to learn how be dressed in grander splendor than the wildflowers of the field (Luke 12:27).

This week we have singer/songwriter, McKenna Parr, joining us to talk about her unique experience of having been married and divorced within less than a year. She shares about the shame she felt when she couldn't have her ex agree with her to stay with her, the questions she had about divorce in accordance with God's Word, and the healing God gave her throughout the trials of everything she endured through this season.

May you be encouraged through her testimony and find healing through this conversation. If you think that someone will be blessed by this episode, please share! We hope this podcast will continue to help you learn how to be dressed in grander splendeur than the beautiful wildflowers of the field.

Merry Christmas everyone!

This week we have the wonderful Bookstagram influencer, Cicely V Ford, on the show! Cicely, or Cici to her friends, shares about her journey in organically creating a 50k+ followers Instagram account where she promoted her favorite books; how she grew closer in her relationship with Jesus; and how, in doing so, her focus on her Instagram page turned more into a place where she shared her faith and encouraged people with every word she writes. Even though she lost tens of thousands of followers due to the change in how Instagram operates and because she began sharing more about her Bible studies, Cici tells us how it's all worth it, as long as she never compromises her faith in the process.

Cici shares some wonderful advice for those who have a desire to be an influencer and/or how to encourage people with their following, and she and our host, Lydia Summer, have a great dialogue about the negatives and positives that come with social media.

May you be encouraged through her testimony, and if you think that someone will be blessed by this conversation, please share! We hope this conversation will continue to help you learn how to be dressed in grander splendeur than the beautiful wildflowers of the field.
