The Tell Me Everything Podcast

The Lie of Hustle Culture & the Freedom of Abiding: Amye Still on Her New BookWelcome to the very first episode of The Tell Me Everything Podcast, and honestly, we couldn’t think of a better way to kick things off. I’m Amye Still, your host, and today I get to be in the hot seat! My dear friend Shelley Baker, who has known me for over 20 years, is flipping the mic and interviewing me about my brand-new book, Abide: Breaking the Cycle of Rush in a Culture of Busy. This conversation is everything I could have hoped for in a first episode: real, honest, a little emotional, and full of the kind of truth that I believe can genuinely change your life. If you’ve been running on empty, if the hustle feels relentless, or if you just know deep down that there has to be more, this one is for you. Pull up a seat. We’re so glad you’re here. In this episode:Timestamps:00:00 — Welcome to The Tell Me Everything Podcast00:47 — What inspired the podcast01:29 — Announcing Amye’s new book02:03 — Amye & Shelley’s 20+ year friendship story07:09 — What it means to abide, personally & biblically16:02 — Who Abide is written for18:48 — The root of busyness addiction: fear of being still19:36 — How identity outside of Christ fuels the cycle of rush22:57 — The costly consequences of living outside of abiding26:28 — Changing your address to the secret place30:03 — John 15 as a divine invitation & a choice32:38 — Abiding is ongoing,  not a one-time event35:45 — The sacredness of waiting & trusting God’s timing41:27 — How writing this book changed Amye’s life forever47:40 — Where to get the book: amyemstill.com & Amazon56:28 — Amye’s next book Brave Hope & Discover Freedom International (DFI)58:42 — The heart behind DFI60:15 — A new podcast coming soon with Shelley--The Secret Place Life Resources & Links:Abide: Breaking the Cycle of Rush in a Culture of BusyDiscover Freedom InternationalMy Favorite Bibles: Life Application Study Bible Compact Filament EnabledBattlefield of the Mind by Joyce MeyerJust Like Jesus by Max LucadoUpcoming Events & Speaking EngagementsConnect with Amye:amyemstill.comInstagramFacebookYouTubeTikTok
