On this episode, I got to chat with author Kayla Craig, whose new book is something I will have next to my morning chair for years. Years. Do you have a morning chair? A place where you start your day and wrangle your heart and mind to remember what’s actually true? Kayla knows all about the wrangling and all about real life, and she’s intent on helping us see the presence of God in every present moment. I know you’ll love hearing and learning from author, spiritual director, and a girl who knows all about mornings that go awry, Kayla Craig.
