Embracing your belovedness, with Emily Wilson Hussem 💞


Hiya Reader,

If you’ve been around the Read-Aloud Revival for a minute, you might know that C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters is one of my all-time favorite books.

It’s the book I've read and re-read the most, and it’s also the source of some of my favorite read-aloud memories with my young adult son.

Today’s guest, Emily Wilson Hussem, is the author of Sincerely Stoneheart: Unmask the Enemy’s Lies, Find the Truth That Sets You Free, a book in a similar style but with the modern woman in mind. We talk about how the enemy is working the hearts and minds of women today. It was a delight to have Emily on the show!

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • How Emily adapted C. S. Lewis’s format to get to the heart of the most common struggles in women’s lives
  • Why embracing friendship, connection, and community is key to thriving as women
  • The ways distraction, comparison, and dissatisfaction pull us away from the truth of our identities as beloved daughters of God

Listen to the episode here: RAR #267: A Conversation About Belovedness with Emily Wilson Hussem. You can also watch the episode on YouTube here.

Dear Reader, Summer break . . . It’s often not much of a break, right? Even if you find yourself with a little less on your plate, anxiety and second-guessing have a way of filling the gaps where we want rest and relaxation to fill. To find peace that lasts throughout the school year, we can’t just “take a break.” We need to break free from the stories and fears that keep us mired in anxiety. When homeschooling moms ask me for advice, they rarely need advice. What they’re really asking for is...
