Girl’s Weekend Inspires Girlfriend Gathering Series

, by

Several years ago a few of my close friends decided we would meet in Colorado for a girl’s weekend. The Fall leaves lit the mountains with brilliant colors. The four of us met for time to relax, refresh and revive. We laughed together, cried together, prayed together, looked at scripture together and did some fun activities together. It was an amazing weekend and each of us left refreshed. We felt such comradery that weekend. Though each of us have busy schedules, we know we can count on each other to be there to support, encourage, and pray. Soon after that…

A Chat with Author Becky Harling

, by

Greetings from Marti Pieper in hotter-than-we’d-like-it Seneca, South Carolina! I’m so blessed today to introduce (or reintroduce) you to my sweet friend Becky Harling, who lives in much cooler climes but seems to spend time in all sorts of places! Welcome, Becky, to the CAN blog! Could you please tell us about your book, The Extraordinary Power of Praise? Anxiety, fear, and depression are all on the rise. Like many of us, the psalmists struggled with anxiety, but they learned how to pour out their hearts before the Lord authentically, and then they shifted their focus to praising Him for…

Worship While You Wait

, by

  Waiting is one of the most difficult of all the spiritual disciplines. In our hurried, driven, fast-paced culture we have lost the art of waiting well. If there’s a long line at the grocery store or coffee shop, we sigh and wonder if it’s worth it. We use microwaves and Instant Pots. God, however, is in the waiting. He uses delay in our lives to sharpen us and set the stage for His future plans. We see this in the Psalmist David’s life. David was well-acquainted with waiting. Many Bible scholars feel he waited at least seventeen years before…

Listen Well, Lead Better helps leaders at any level consider how well they’re listening.

A Chat with Author Becky Harling

Marti Pieper here! Welcome to up-and-down Mount Dora, Florida (where the temperatures bounce almost every day), and an author interview with the lovely Becky Harling. I first met Becky at a conference three years ago in nearby Orlando, although we’ve been cyber-friends much longer than that. At the time, Becky had broken her ankle and was having lots of adventures driving a motorized cart for the first time. I had an adventure of my own when I returned the cart to the rental counter for her (no lives were lost). Let’s hear from Becky about her books and her life—both…

Tips from the Pros: Becky Harling

Greetings from Marti Pieper in almost-fall Ohio! I’m visiting here for a few weeks as I help my mom clean out and pack up in preparation for her move to a retirement community. So in the midst of not-so-normal days, I’m grateful to have the opportunity to introduce someone who’s one of those friends I’ve never met. Becky Harling and I have traded prayers, reviews, support and encouragement online for a few years now without yet meeting in person. I read and loved her 30 Day Praise Challenge and am thrilled to re-introduce Becky to our CAN readers. Praise and…

Tips from the Pros: Becky Harling

, by

Greetings from Sarah Sundin from Oregon, where I’m visiting family. Today I have the privilege of interviewing Becky Harling, the author of Rewriting Your Emotional Script and a speaker with a dynamic ministry of hope and healing. Becky, how did you get into writing? I felt for many years that God was calling me to be a writer, but didn’t know how to get started. God brought Linda Dillow into my life as a mentor and she connected me with Navpress. Navpress actually called me and invited me to send them a proposal. They turned down the first three proposals I sent in but told…
