SJP Episode #032 with Tricia Goyer What if You Actually Do What the Bible Says?

Simply Joyful Podcast — Tricia Goyer: What if You Actually Do What the Bible Says? 

I am double-y excited today to have my friend Tricia Goyer back on the podcast! As many of you know, Tricia and I wrote a book together—Homeschool Basics. It will officially be launching in January, but it is available now at kristiclover.com/homeschoolbasics and on Amazon.

Tricia and I have been getting to know each other over the two years that we wrote Homeschool Basics. It's been such a joy to get to know her and her sweet family. I had the opportunity to stay with Tricia back in March, and it was so much fun! I got to meet her family, her grandma who lives with them, her husband, and many of her church friends. Can I just tell you that this woman really walks it out—which is the name of her new book! I’m so excited for this book I can’t even tell you. You have probably seen a lot about Walk it Out either on social media or on other podcasts, but I tell you this is the book that when I met Tricia I wanted her to write. And if you’re new to the podcast, make sure that you check out episode number two where I ask Tricia so many questions about how she’s walking it out and keeping God’s word in her life.

Since I know this woman, we really get into the nitty-gritty in this interview. I just know you are going to love this episode. It's all about how God doesn’t want us to just be hearers of the Word, but He wants us to be doers of the Word.

I cannot wait for you to hear this episode!
