Season 3 Has Begun!

We're into Season 3 of the podcast! In Episode 1, I interview Jason Godinho the author of the memoir Fasting For Freedom. Is it a book about prayer and fasting? Yes, but it is about so much more. Jason transparently and powerfully lays bare in the book the time he very unexpectedly spent in federal prison. You'll have to listen to hear the details of how that all transpired but let's just say it was not for any violent crime but rather for a crime incubated by hubris. As a believer suddenly isolated from his family, church and businesses, Jason quickly realized he needed to surrender to whatever God had in mind for him during his prison term. What followed was forty days of fasting and so much more as the Holy Spirit transformed Jason's inner convictions to match the outward life he longed to live. It's quite a story! And quite a book. Check out Jason's website for his Convicted Coaching and Convicted Community links. https://jasongodinho.com/

Episode 2 of Season 3 is with debut novelist, Tirzah Rae. Her YA fantasy book, Land of Guiding Lies, was released in September of 2026. Packed with three young protagonists weaving their way through a tumultuous time in the land of Panthera, the story has everything fantasy fans will love - world building complete with historical archives and language, brave but flawed heroes, villains expected as well as surprising and, of course, a bit of magic. In this interview, we explore the decade long journey that Tirzah took to move this story from the imagination of her fifteen-year-old self all the way to her stunning indie published book. She offers her tips and insights about what that looked like from cover design and formatting partnerships to doing a Kickstarter campaign. Some of the resources she referred to and conferences she attended are listed below along with her website.

Fantasy author D.E. Carlson (aka Dorothy) is with me in Episode 3 of Season 3. She is the author of the Empire of Ash & Song trilogy as well as several novellas. Also, the second book of the Empire of Blood & Storm series is due out in early 2027. Her own story of moving through loss and grief to storyteller is a true beauty for ashes transformation. Dorothy is an indie author who has built a strong fan base through intentional community platforms and marketing investments like Kickstarter campaigns. Much to learn from this North Dakota rancher, mother, homesteader, wife and author!
