Season 6 - Episode 17 - Finding Gratitude Encouraging Others to Hope

This week I speak with Robyn Rison Chapman, who is a finder of hope and a passionate encourager. She was an award-winning journalist and successful grant writer before leaving those careers to spend more time with her family. It was during a season of family grief that she began to feel God calling her into more faith-filled writing. She is the author of the devotional book “Ordinary Walks With An Extraordinary God,” is part of the collaborative book, “Butterfly Living’s Life Changing Stories,” writes regularly on her blog, www.hopeanyway.com, and occasionally provides guest posts for other sites. Her devotions run daily on WEMM radio. She has made guest appearances on multiple podcasts and is a speaker at church and women’s events. She is the 2023 recipient of the Best Author/Writer from the Appalachian Arts and Entertainment Awards. You can find her on Facebook and Instagram. Robyn is active in her church and has taught numerous Sunday School classes and Bible studies. She also enjoys baking, traveling, sports, and deep conversations. She lives in Proctorville, Ohio with her husband Derek and sons Jack and Max. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the thread of God working in her life.
