Hey Friends!

On the show today, I’m joined by the fabulous Kelly Minter. We sit down to discuss how we sometimes compartmentalize our faith and why that doesn’t work, how spending time in God’s word brings us closer to God, and share tips on making prayer more meaningful, even when it’s hard. Kelly even shares the story of how my daughter ended up staying at her home in Nashville!

Kelly Minter is an author, Bible teacher, and podcaster. Her most recent Bible study from Lifeway publishers is Encountering God: Cultivating Habits of Faith Through the Spiritual Disciplines. Kelly speaks around the country and also works closely with Justice & Mercy International in the Amazon jungles of Brazil and the Eastern European country of Moldova.

Kelly is deeply passionate about teaching the Bible and believes it permeates all of life. When she’s not writing, traveling, or speaking, she enjoys time in her garden, cooking, and being with her friends and family. A Southern transplant, she delights in long walks, her local church, meaningful conversation, and coffee in her Justice & Mercy International diner mug.

Listen in to learn more about:

• Kelly’s journey to Nashville, being a singer-songwriter, and lessons that season brought. 
• The idea that a righteous person is not divided and why we shouldn’t compartmentalize our faith. 
• How are spiritual disciplines gifts from God, and what should we do with that knowledge?
• When we pray in secret, our Father is there with us. 
• Plus, much more, including Donna’s tips for writing your prayers!
