Yay!  We made it to December, and I am so excited for the Christmas season ahead!

Today’s guest, Tama Fortner is helping us simplify Christmas, reclaim peace, and ENJOY all the best parts of Christmas without any unnecessary stress! 

Tama and I chat about so many great ideas tucked into her new devotional book, Simply Christmas – from practical ways to simplify your decorating, to some creative (and simpler!) gift-giving ideas (and more!)  Join us for this fun conversation as we kick off what I hope will be the best Christmas yet!

Tama’s Christmas gift tip:  Get a gift card and put it into a thoughtful themed-gift!  (ie:  A box of popcorn and some candy with a movie ticket gift card!… Or a flower pot with seeds and a garden store gift card!)

Thank you so much to this episode’s sponsor…The DWELL BIBLE APP!

Have you discovered Dwell yet?  (see discount link below!)

I’m especially excited to be starting the WONDER DEVOTIONAL this week!! 

 

I love the Dwell Bible app!  Dwell is inspired by the Psalmist who encourages us in Psalm 119 to hide the word of God in our hearts. They have built the most beautiful listening and reading experience for the Scriptures. Dwell has over a dozen new recordings of the Bible; they’ve hand-picked voices that will engage and inspire you! And they have the best versions of the Bible too, like the ESV, NIV, KJV, NLT, The Message, and others.

I am using the Dwell App to read along and work on my Scripture memory, and to walk through Advent with their WONDER DEVOTIONAL!  

AND….GOOD NEWS!! 

BOY MOM Listeners can get up to 30% off The DWELL App!

More about Tama…

 

Tama Fortner is a bestselling writer with more than 35 titles to her credit. As a ghostwriter, she has collaborated with some of the biggest names in Christian publishing to create inspirational books for children, teens, and adults. Her most recent release is a devotional under her own name titled Simply Christmas: A Busy Mom’s Guide to Reclaiming the Peace of the Holidays. But her greatest accomplishments happen in a happy little home on the outskirts of Nashville, Tennessee, where she lives with her family and an incredibly lazy dog who doubles as a footwarmer.
