• I remember getting one of Shaunti’s first books, For Women Only. Oh, my word! That book was so amazing and had such an impact on my marriage. Shaunti explains a little of what goes on behind the scenes of her books — the research — before the writing and the speaking comes. We chat about how understanding men is actually so much easier than large Japanese banks.
• I ask Shaunti about her new book, Find Rest, and how she made the shift to a more devotional type book. I love the format of the book and how Shaunti includes journaling time that really makes you dig deep and look at things in a different way.
• I asked Shaunti why she thinks that we as women skip out on rest (and think that it’s ok!)
• One thing that we really need to be able to do is to set aside superwoman. Set aside the thinking that we can do it all. I asked Shaunti to share some ways that we can set aside that superwoman. We chat about being a people pleaser, and Shaunti issues a challenge to all people pleaser out there (me included!) I’m such a people pleaser, and this was a message I needed to hear!
• Shaunti shares about Philippians 4:8 and how each day we should focus on what is good — and how by just focusing on one or two good things can change your entire perspective.
• Shaunti mentioned we have been created with a purpose for work — to go out and create disciples — He doesn’t call us to just love Him and sit around a do nothing. He does call us to do things. Yet, at the same time, He promises true rest and easy yolk. I asked Shaunti to explain how can balance the two. What is the secret sauce to finding real true rest
• Matthew 11:28-30
• Philippians 4:8
