DEBORAH HENNE, a speech-language pathologist by day and an author by night, a wife, mother, songwriter, and Jesus lover, from Pennsylvania, will join us to discuss her unique experience with the Lord at age 12; her newest book release, "Gentleness: It's Not What You Think"; her podcast show, "Sounds Like Freedom", and the release of her single, "Hallowed be Your Name".

FROM HER WEBSITE:

I'm almost always found typing away at my computer after tucking my kids in at night. But...I don't always write at my computer. Sometimes I can be found writing with an old-fashioned pen and paper at my keyboard. I have written prophetic songs, songs inspired by biblical revelation, and worship songs. I love how music unlocks our hearts and can transport us into the presence of God.

I also love digging deeply into the Scripture, unearthing gems through word studies and putting the writings of the Bible into context. I also do tend to geek out a little on science. Many ask me how, since I am a woman of faith. My answer? Science helps us understand the natural world. Faith empowers us to live in the supernatural. Sometimes it helps to understand practical tools and steps as we take each step in our faith journey. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Sometimes, it can be both.

In my book, Gentleness: It's Not What You Think, I bare my soul to share my journey of conquering obstacles and challenges in life by pairing faith and evidence-based principles supported by science and the Bible. It is my prayer that my book inspires and encourages others to take practical steps to overcome in their lives too.

​Life isn't about staying the same. It's not about being perfect either. It's about being "ever changed." I believe in using every tool available so we can live as overcomers and in freedom. There are tools that have been researched by scientists. There is also faith. Both have value. But in my experience, it is when we taste and experience the glory of God that we are truly transformed. It is my passion to allow God to work through me in order to connect people to His presence and glory so we can all be forever changed.

M.D. HOUSE, an author from Utah, joined us to discuss his latest release, "Crossroads of Awakening Memory".

"To young trainee Rain Barynd, becoming a Council Guard in bucolic New Haven will secure a positive future that involves neither farming nor any real fighting. Impressing his girlfriend’s skeptical parents and overcoming a handful of bullies among the trainees—along with the inexplicable intensity of his trainer, a decorated warrior from the East—are his greatest challenges. Or so he believes.

A rare and ruthless bandit attack marks the beginning of the mayhem that engulfs Rain’s childhood home and sets him on an unimaginable path that includes … his own magic? Talismans that enable travel to other worlds? Griffons and dragons, ancient nemeses thought to be long extinct? Strange metal beasts that spit bellowing fire? And even elves of fairy tale, as real as the dwarves?

Amid a besom of chaos and doubt, Rain must work with members of a mysterious ancient order to piece together a growing convergence of clues long prophesied. All while trying to figure out his place in the madness. Only one thing is certain—he is not ready."

FROM HIS WEBSITE:

"M.D. (Mike) House semi-retired from a successful career in Corporate Finance and Business Leadership in late 2020. While most of that time was spent in the Midwest of the United States—primarily in the Chicago area—he traveled to many parts of world as he supported design, production, marketing and selling of large manufactured products like Ford vehicles, International trucks, and Sullair-branded industrial air compressors.

He also did a stint in Reno, Nevada working for a gold mining company, and has been deep inside an underground mine in South America. Interesting experience.

Since semi-retiring, he and his wife have lived in Cache Valley, in northern Utah, and love it there. Mike is not from Utah (though he was born there), but his mother hails from nearby Weston, ID. He has driven by Glenn Beck’s ranch entrance several times, wondering if he’ll ever get to see over the hill.

A natural teacher and storyteller, Mike has been able to take full advantage of his semi-retirement by engaging in his love for fiction writing. He started many years ago with some science fiction, but has since expanded into Biblical and Book of Mormon historical fiction, and also fantasy.

Adding his keen interests in economics and politics to life-sustaining faith, he aims to make a positive impact on the world with powerful stories of people both real and imagined. He doesn’t expect to ever match “the greatest short story ever told” (Jesus’s Parable of the Prodigal Son), but he’ll continue to do his best."
