Episode 76 :: Jennifer Deibel :: Stories of Perseverance, and the Layers of Love and Redemption
Today on the podcast, I’m excited to introduce you guys to debut author Jennifer Deibel. My conversation with Jennifer is a fun merging of a lot of things I love: history, learning about other cultures, the beauty of redemption, and the power of how we tell a story. Jennifer also shares her story of becoming an author, living in Ireland with her family and she shows off her amazing Irish Gaelic skills. Her beautiful book A Dance in Donegal, is a story that walks a character through incredible trials of faith, suffering, and reveals the layers of how one can receive love and experience redemption.
I hope that you love getting to know Jennifer in this episode, hearing the really cool facts about Ireland, the British Isles, their language, and some of the layers of what makes up the identity of a people. Most of all, I hope that you walk away feeling encouraged in some way. Whether that’s the push towards perseverance to walk out your God dream, or if it's the reminder that there is no one and no situation that is beyond the redemption of the Lord, He cares about you, what’s happening to you, and has plans for hope and a future for you. Take heart, dear ones.
Be sure and follow Jennifer, check out her beautiful book A Dance in Donegal and keep your eyes peeled for her 2022 release!
