Don't miss this reprise episode with author Sharon Hodde Miller, who is a church planter and mom of three living in North Carolina. She's the author of the new book, "Cost of Control" (which I loved) and also wrote two other books: "Nice" and "Free of Me." She's got a Ph.D. and a strong voice online and in person, as she writes, preaches and shares the messages God has given her with people across the country. I knew I wanted to ask Sharon to endorse my book right away and was so thankful that she said "yes." Here's what she has to say about "Reason to Return: Why Women Need the Church & the Church Needs Women:""In our current culture, the Church is not known for its virtues. When stories of corruption and scandal seem to emerge every week, it’s no wonder people are staying away. Thankfully, these stories of church failure are not the full picture. In pockets of faithfulness all over the world, God’s people are showing up to be Jesus’ hands and feet, and Ericka is telling this story. While the Church is not perfect, it is still a place of healing and calling, which is why I am so grateful to Ericka for beckoning women home."You can see all the endorsements here & order your copy of the book here. *Don't miss the freebie bundle you get when you pre-order (including a FREE Audible version of the book when you buy a hard copy!)
