Ok, ya’ll Spring is here and I’m so thrilled about it. The birds singing, the sunshine, the warmer temps have me smiling when I walk outside!

So I told you in last weeks episode that I had some fun news to share with you! I’m having a giveaway! I rarely host them, but this one you don’t want to miss! My goal here on the podcast is to encourage you in the stories I share, to share helpful content such as books, and podcasts, and products that have helped me, and I want to be able to share that with as many women as I can. In order to do that, Apple podcast reviews help in such a big way! Here’s how you enter the giveaway. All you have to do is go to the podcast app on your phone, search for the Friends of a Feather podcast, scroll until you see the headings Ratings & Reviews and Click Write a Review. I would love for you to tap 5 stars, type a sentence or two about what you like about listening to the podcast. Screen shot your review and email or direct message it to me! That’s it! But, what if you are saying, ‘wait, Wren I’ve already left a review on the podcast?’ I would first say Thank you! And then I would say, no problem, just screen shot your past review and send it to me!

Ok. So all who enter can have a chance to win a NEW Val Marie Paper 30 day prayer journal! It’s called A FRESH START FOR MOMS and it hasn’t even been released yet! EEK!! Thank you to Val at Val Marie Paper and Mariah at Tyndale for gifting the winner this awesome journal. Ok, so go leave those reviews and I can’t wait to see who wins!!

Let’s get to today’s episode! IT’s episode 76 and my guest is Jessica Thompson. Jessica is a sunny California resident, a wife, mom, writer, author, podcaster, and frequent guest speaker. Jessica has written books about exploring and infusing your relationships with grace and the love of Jesus. She has also coauthored books with her mother Elyse Fitzpatrick including the book I recently read, Give Them Grace. Jessica and I chat about a conversation she overheard from her son and his friends that focused her attention to write the book, tips for how to integrate gospel conversations with your kids, and an acrostic that can help you in beginning these conversations.

Jessica was so fun to interview, is an excellent speaker, and I know this will be a very helpful episode for you!
