April 23, 2025 ● 30 minShare this episode
Ever feel torn between what you should do and what you want to do? Oh friend, you’re not alone—and this week’s episode with the amazing Heidi White dives straight into that tension.
Heidi is a teacher, speaker, and author of Divided Soul: Duty and Desire in Literature and Life, joins me to unpack the stories we live and the ones we tell—through scripture, literature, and real life.
We talk about Adam and Eve, the prodigal son, and how our desires and responsibilities pull us in opposite directions (hello, relatable!). You’ll walk away with fresh perspective, grace for your journey, and maybe a little “aha” moment or two.
Xo,
Donna

A Prayer to Receive the Father’s Discipline - Your Daily Prayer - May 16
Conviction, repentance, and discipline are all great gifts from our Father in heaven. He wants us to be honest with Him so that we can see real transformation happen in our lives, as He conforms us into the image of His Son.
