Episode 94: 2024 Book Club Recap

We kick off episode 94 by giving a recap of the books we read in book club in 2024. We reveal each of our favorite books of 2024. You can see the list of these books at the bottom of these show notes. We hope you grab a copy for yourself and a friend and start your own book club! 

We started reading “The Life Council” by Laura Tremaine in November and we’re still working our way through this extraordinary book. In episode 94, we recap “The Life Council” with our book club bestie, Lindi Bridges, from @SistersOnTheSamePage. (Lauren is still out with new baby, Scottie Faye! Lindi gives us an update on Lauren, all three of her babies, and her fourth baby pregnancy announcement!)

We love our book club besties, and we had waaaaaaay too much fun capturing this conversation with Lindi (or is it Lindsey?). 

Grab a copy of “The Life Council” by Laura Tremaine and join us on the page (or download an audible book on Audible or Everand). 

We love hearing from YOU. Where are you at in your friendship journeys? Is this a season of friendship famine or friendship abundance? DM us your friendship stories (we promise to hold details and specifics in confidentiality).

Jessica Phillips

Jessica is worshiper and follower of Jesus. He rescued her heart at age 6 but he rescued her calling, purpose and direction in her early 20's. Everyday God is still writing Jessica's story. It involves her husband, Brad, her daughter, Emery, their extended families. But the story is a tale of loss of life and dark grief. And the story ebs and weaves and the grief story is followed by weddings and laughter. And what comes next? A Baby! God sends us a baby to shape and teach and grow right in the midst of our loss and realizing that life actually moves forward. We didn't think it would again after he died. But life just did what it was supposed to do...and it went on. And hope is born again. Everything I write is based on this fact: I'm God's child, I'm alive today. So what do You want me to do for You? Because I want my contribution to matter. I want to leave a legacy.
