Book Corner Recap

"Attached to God" with Krispin MayfieldIn this episode, therapist and author Krispin Mayfield shares his personal journey of struggling with inconsistent feelings of connection to God. These ups and downs in his spiritual life left him confused and seeking answers.As he began practicing therapy, Krispin noticed distinct patterns in how people seek connection, patterns shaped by how we were taught to relate to others from an early age. This led him to explore attachment science (formerly known as attachment theory), which studies how humans respond to the need for closeness and connection in relationships.Through his research, Krispin developed insights that he now shares in his book Attached to God. The book explores how our learned patterns of connection affect our relationship with God; why some approaches help us feel close, while others leave us spiritually exhausted. Ultimately, he offers a path toward healthier, more sustainable spiritual connection based on understanding your unique relational needs.

In this episode, we explore Entrusted to Lead by Dr. Donna Pisani a powerful voice championing women in leadership through a Biblical lens. Dr. Pisani’s message at church one Sunday stirred something deep in me, and this book did the same. From the powerful Introduction to my most highlighted chapters (9 and 11!), this episode is a celebration of claiming your seat at the table and recognizing that leadership is entrusted, not entitled. If you're a woman chasing God’s call on your life, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we dive into Misfit Table by Tiffani Kilgore, a book that invites readers to return to it again and again. Tiffani’s journey is raw, real, and deeply relatable.

Join us as we explore the depth of her pain and the strength of her faith through every chapter of her story

This isn’t a light read; it’s a tomahawk steak dinner. The Fight For Female is bold, prophetic, and unapologetically challenging. Born from a powerful dream, Lisa Bevere delivers a spiritual wake-up call for women to return to God’s original blueprint.As someone homeschooled and raised in the church during the 90s, this book felt like a pilgrimage, one that re-examines misused doctrine and brings clarity through scripture. Lisa is our spiritual Godmother. She fights for us, warns us, and calls us higher. This episode is for every woman ready to rise, to discern, and to reclaim what the enemy has tried to steal.

In this episode, I dive into Nothing is Wasted by Davey Blackburn, a powerful story of tragedy, faith, and redemption.

We then explore Davey's raw and honest testimony of losing his wife, Amanda, in a senseless act of violence, and how he found hope, forgiveness, and a renewed sense of purpose through unimaginable pain. This is a conversation about grief, healing, and how God can bring beauty from brokenness.
