Jan Wilson could have written her own headline after she selected from her past religion newspaper columns and published them in a popular book. She joins Cecil on this episode of the Practical Faith Academy podcast.
Her book, "Everyday Faith for Daily Life," was a smashing success at a time when people were looking for hope during the pandemic. White still writes for the Andalusia, Alabama Star-News. She has also won an award for her column on forgiveness as opposed to hatred.
Wilson has interesting things to say about combining faith and vocation. We can all learn from a writer's struggle to represent faith and Christ adequately when we are in our own dry spell. We can all learn how we can view our own vocations in a way that demonstrates faith.
