Draw Closer to God Through Poetry with Lauren Medina
Today, as part of my Walking with God as a writer series, my special guest Lauren Medina talks about how poetry helped her express her feelings and draw closer to God. Listen as we share our thoughts about poetry, our faith walk, and being inspired by the world around us.\nLauren Medina is an inspirational poet, Christian speaker, educator, and nature enthusiast. The Birds Persist to Sing is her debut poetry collection. Lauren uses her creative work to open up the door to conversations about faith, hope and healing.\nLauren\u2019s debut poetry collection is entitled The Birds Persist to Sing: Poems on Pain, Heartbreak, Faith, and Healing\nWhy isn't God answering my prayers?\nHow can I believe that He is trustworthy after all I've been through?\nWill things ever get better?\nIf you've ever grappled with these questions, you are not alone. The Birds Persist to Sing is a collection of poems that capture some of the emotions we face as we struggle through suffering in our lives and wonder where God is in the midst of it.\n \nIn the spirit of the psalms, the poems honestly engage the themes of lament and doubt, while ultimately arriving at a place of deeper hope and trust in the goodness of God's love.\nPurchase link:\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRC947QK?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_8EHRA2TJ77CVD79S1D91\nConnect with Lauren at the following links:\nhttps://www.laurenmedinawrites.com/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089226765267\nhttps://www.instagram.com/Lauren_Medina_Writes\nSubscribe to my newsletter by filling out the form at the top of my homepage at: https://annwritesinspiration.com for a free copy of this template and some other freebies I have on my site for email list subscribers.\nVisit www.everyday-excellence.com and use promo code Inspirational Journeys to get 10% off any product on the site.\nSupport this podcast with a monthly donation by visiting:\nhttps://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/support\nor you can give a one-time donation via PayPal at:\nhttps://paypal.me/annHarrisonBarnes?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US
