220. You are a Tree -- Joy Clarkson

How do you view yourself? If you could see life as a metaphor, what would it be? I am so excited to highlight on the podcast this week, Joy Clarkson's book, *You Are A Tree: Other Metaphors To Nourish Life, Thought, and Prayer. We are going to dive deeper into Psalms 1:3. "That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither -- whatsoever they do prospers." I love that the Bible describes us as trees. You know how much I love to talk about deep roots, so I cannot wait for you to hear the truth Joy shares about trees! Also, I am so excited for someone to win a copy of Joy's book: *You Are A Tree.
