Do you want to be flourishing? Not just surviving your life but thriving. I have the greatest book to recommend to you. It is Christine Caine's newest book,   * The Faith To Flourish .

Are you in the middle of grief? Or do you know someone who is? Maybe you or your friend are walking through something hard and you wish you had something that could help. I have a resource that I would like to share with you. My friend, Lisa Appelo, wrote a book called * God of Comfort . It is a devotional journal for the grieving heart. Each devotional is on a different character attribute of God...

Do you enjoy a good love story?  I know I do!  If I am completely honest, I am a sucker for the Hallmark Channel.  I think many of us would admit that we want a happily ever after. We want someone to desire to be with us and love us unconditionally.   Back in summer of 2017, I read a book called The Story ; it is a chronological version of the Bible in one long story. I read it at the same time as...

Does your motherhood journey look different than you planned? Maybe you have struggled to get pregnant. Perhaps like me, you walked through a loss during your pregnancy.

I think you are going to love...

Do you have adult children? Maybe like me, you have a college student. My youngest son graduated high school last year and went away to college, so I am officially an empty nester. Maybe you have a child who just graduated college and is now adulting. This happened for me too. I am excited to share with you this amazing book I read, * Doing Life With Your Adult Children by Jim Burns. The subtitle...

Would you classify yourself as a morning person? Some of you would say, "Yes, I love to get up in the mornings." For others, you are a night person who loves your nights. What if night owls could love their mornings too? I am so excited to have Jennifer Dukes Lee back on the Depth Podcast for a fourth time to talk about her new book, * How to Love Your Morning . The subtitle reads Faith-Filled Hab...

Have you ever thought, I don't know what to say" to someone who is walking through grief ? I think a lot of us want to enter into someone else's pain, but we are afraid of saying the wrong thing. Maybe you can relate. I am excited to introduce you to Cheri Fletcher. She made a wonderful product called Beyond, "I Don't Know What To Say." You definitely want to check out these grief communication ca...

What do you think is the most important thing in life? Would it be what you do--- Your job? Maybe your accomplishments? Your Hard Work? Your reputation? All of that is what people see from the outside. Or would it be what happens on the inside---- That deep rooted growth that happens where no one really sees it-- it is invisible? I think it has to do with what happens in the inner part of our life...

Do you want to feel strong and secure in this New Year 2026? I don't know about you, but I definitely do. So I am so excited to have Lynn Cowell and Michelle Nietert back on the podcast to talk about their new devotional, * Strong and Secure . It is written for young women, high schoolers and college aged. But I have to say, the truths in the book are for any woman, because their book is all about...

Happy New Year! Have you ever read a book, and there is a quote that stands out to you? It really captivates you with the words on it! I have to tell you about this book I read back in 2025. It was in the summer where I had taken a sabbatical after my dad passed away, and I had gotten this book from a friend called * The Well Watered Woman . At the beginning of the book, after a couple pages, this...

Did you grow up in a house that talked about their emotions? Are you talking with your kids about their emotions? Emotional Literacy is so important, and I am so passionate about giving tools to others to help them in their parenting. Last week, I shared 5 books that I read with my kids that helped them grow deeper in their faith ( Depth Podcast Episode 244 ). This week, I want to share 5 books th...

Do you like to read to your kids or grandkids?  Do you like to find Christian books with strong messages in them? Maybe it is about their identity in Christ?

You are going to learn so much for Evelyn Sherwood! Have you ever felt the presence of God? Have you ever felt Him close to you? I know for me, I felt the presence of God the most in the middle of my hard seasons: my divorce, the loss...

Do you know my favorite chapter in my book, Depth? It is kind of like asking, "Who is your favorite child" to someone who has kids. It is very hard to narrow it down to one chapter. But one of my favorite things to talk about besides trees is my broken pot----my cracked clay pot where God taught me so much about brokenness. Today, the Depth book is being re-launched! I am so excited that the print...

Have you heard the exciting news about my book? I am so jazzed to tell you that I am relaunching, Depth: Growing Through Heartbreak to Strength . I updated my cover with my new last name, Jodi Snowdon, as well as written an epilogue and added some new free resources to the back of the book. This week on the podcast to share more about the Depth book , my husband, David, is going to be interviewing...

Has God ever used something in His Creation to show you something about Him? Maybe a character trait? Or maybe something about your relationship with Him? For me, God has used trees to show me how to grow deeper in my faith. I am excited to be reading a chapter to you from my book today. Depth: Growing Through Heartbreak to Strength will be re-launching October 21 st for the eBook and November 4 t...

How do you want to be remembered? What kind of legacy do you want to leave behind? I have been thinking about this a lot lately, especially considering what happened in our country with the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But also, because I lost my dad recently. In addition to that, many great Christian leaders have passed away in recent months like Dr. James Dobson, John MacArthur, Kay Arthur, an...

Are you an overthinker? Do you think about something way longer than anyone else would? I know I do. I sit there and ruminate over things that most people would have let go of after just a couple minutes. This is the struggle I have- maybe you have this same struggle. So I was so excited when I came across this book this summer. It is a brand-new release by Max Lucado called * Tame Your Thoughts:...

Are you walking through a lot of changes in your life this year? Would you say you have a lot of transitions? I would say that for me, for sure! 2025 has been year full of transition, loss and still trying to figure out how to follow God's calling through it all. I am glad to be back on the podcast, I took a long sabbatical in May after my father passed away. This is my first episode back and my h...

I have some sad news to share with you today on the podcast. Sadly, my dad passed away on May 22, 2025.   My dad was such a pivotal part of my family. He was an amazing husband to my mom. He was such a loving father and a supportive and involved grandfather. This loss is deep.  It is interesting because your mom and dad are there when you take your first breath. But it is so heartbreaking to be th...

Do you want to be deeply rooted? Do you want to be like a tree with deep roots that go deep in your faith? Do you want depth? Oh friend---This is something I am so passionate about. It is the title of my podcast and it is the title of my book.

Have you ever been frustrated with not getting a prayer answered in the timing you hoped?  Maybe you wish God would do it quicker?

It is one of my special mom stories for the month of May. They are both going to share how God reunited them man...
