Ep. 78 - Debbie Henne Shares Cogent Wisdom

Welcome to The Main Thing Podcast! I'm your host - Skip Lineberg.  My new friend, Debbie Henne, is a speech-language pathologist by day and an author by night. All day every day, she is a wife, mother and Jesus lover. Debbie can often be found typing away at her computer after tucking her kids in at night. She doesn't always write at a computer. Sometimes she can be found writing with an old-fashioned pen and paper - or creating musically on the piano keyboard. Debbie Henne believes life is not about being perfect. It's about being "ever changed." Her vision is to connect hearts to the heart of God, so people can live in the empowerment and victory that comes through a genuine connection to God.  Debbie comes to us today from her home in Reading, Pennsylvania.  Get ready! Over the next 9 minutes you will discover why Debbie Henne is one of the wisest people I know.   Resources Deborah Henne's website Check out Debbie's podcast Get Debbie's book "Gentleness" on our Bookshop store Episode 58 featuring RL Shawver   Stay Connected with Us Twitter @themainthingpod Instagram @themainthingpod Facebook - @TheMainThingPod LinkedIn - The MainThing Podcast   Credits Editor + Technical Advisor Bob Hotchkiss Brand + Strategy Advisor Andy Malinoski Public Relations + Partnerships Advisor Rachel Bell   Ready to Help Support the Growth of this Podcast?
