This week, I speak with Carrie Watts, who lives in Brandon, Mississippi. Her favorite time of day is early morning, enjoying quiet moments with God’s word, writing in her prayer journal, sipping on coffee, and capturing the beauty of the sunrise. Writing a book is a new adventure for Carrie, one she welcomes in the second half of her life. Although her degree is in nursing, her husband’s Air Force career led them to move frequently, which allowed her to focus on raising their three boys. She enjoys volunteering at church in women’s ministry and spiritual counseling. She facilitates a small group of ladies studying the Bible in her home. Carrie’s passion is to help women heal and step confidently into God’s purpose and plan for their lives. Her debut YA Christian fiction novel, Crisis of Faith, will be released this week. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life - You won’t want to miss this encouraging episode!

This week, I speak with Mathana Senthilnathan, an esteemed Christian life coach and author. Her journey began in Sri Lanka, where she was born and raised until the age of 11. Due to the civil war in Sri Lanka during the 1980s, her family relocated to North America in search of a safer environment and better opportunities. Originally raised in a Hindu household, Mathana discovered the transformative love of Christ at the age of 16, following her parents' divorce. Embracing Christianity has been the most pivotal decision of her life, providing her with the strength and resilience to overcome the challenges of her youth. Today, Mathana dedicates herself to ministering, encouraging, and empowering women of all ages through her life coaching sessions. She uses the Word of God and His promises to guide those facing their own trials. Mathana firmly believes that every individual can live a victorious life by maintaining a close relationship with God and understanding their true identity in Christ.
