Today I’m excited to interview a couple, Lori and Steven McClure. They are the authors of a new book, 15 Ways to Make Love Impossible
Key Ideas:
Part 1: Interview
- The importance of being proactive with your activities (and what happens when you aren’t!)
- What happens when you switch careers mid-life
- Why difficulties are not the end of the story
- “We learn the most when we feel weakest and most afraid”
Part 2: What I learned when I felt my weakest and most afraid
- Look at myself first
- I can let go of the outcome and trust God
- Just do the next right thing

Encouraging Word of the Week: 2 Corinthians 12:9 (New Living Translation) “Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness. So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.”
Question: What was the most encouraging part of this interview? Are you going through any rough times that would make these ideas helpful? I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. And I’d love to pray for you too. Please leave your comments below.
Thanks again for having us, Christy! We enjoyed getting to know you, and I’ve enjoyed exploring your website. I really appreciate what you had to say at the end of the podcast about boundaries and control and commitment. You are such a great encourager! Excited about your future writing projects, too!
