Cynthia Yanof knows how sloppy, slippery, and downright hard life can be. But as she reminds us through her laugh-out-loud stories and heartfelt companionship, God’s not surprised when we drop the ball, lose our cool, or struggle to put our Spanx on in the morning. He can use our ridiculous messes and even the really difficult I-didn’t-sign-up-for-this losses to shape us. In Life Is Messy, God Is Good, Cynthia invites us to reframe our perspective on the challenges we face so we can see God at work—and laugh more along the way.

Lessons from the Thorns is based on the true story of a young girl’s incredible journey through the painful experiences (thorns) of the dreadful realities of life, including childhood sexual abuse and human trafficking.

It is the story of a Savior; a Hero was paid the highest price to redeem her right to be free and to be loved.

Whether it’s the TV or radio continually playing in the background or the persistent pinging on our phones, the constant noise and frenetic pace of modern life can be overwhelming.

They say friends are the family we choose. And that choosing—the joy of loving and being loved by someone who isn't genetically obligated to share life with us—adds priceless worth to our days, but also great risk.

As we struggle to digest the pain and confusion, we wonder, How could this happen? And what do I do now? Beloved author Elizabeth Laing Thompson comes alongside listeners as they process their struggling friendships.

The colleague who threatens your position at work. The friend who talks behind your back. The woman who seems to have it all together—while you are barely hanging on.

We live in a cultural moment where the definition of “woman” eludes the keenest of thinkers and brightest of scientists, where one’s biological sex and one’s gender are divorced, where the meaning of gender itself is a constantly moving target, and where girls and women, especially, struggle to know who they are.
