I want to pass on to you three podcast episodes in which I was interviewed by different podcasters. Today, I will include below the most recent one.
This one was done last month at The Good Samaritan Mission in Florida. We’ve been involved with the mission for decades. Here, I am interviewed by Bill Cruz who has led the mission for many years. He is a licensed and certified Marriage and the Family counselor who currently counsels full-time. My last post was based upon a discussion we had with Bill and his wife, Theresa, a few weeks ago at dinner time one evening about family dynamics. If you haven’t read it, you may want to pull it up and do so. I hope Bill’s insights bless you as they have me.
While we were there in February, Bill asked me if he could interview me about my book. The interview is short (19 minutes), but it is a good introduction to my book, A Traveler’s Guide through Suffering and Joy. You will enjoy Bill’s interview approach. Bill moved with his family to Florida from Puerto Rico when he was fourteen, which explains Bill’s gentle and pleasant accent.
In coming posts, I will link the other two interviews.

Bill Cruz and Theresa Cruz, the leaders of The Good Samaritan Mission. The mission is in transition, as the needs of the migrant and Latino populations in central Florida have evolved over the decades. As they re-design their ministry, we pray for God’s leading for them in this community. They are vibrant and excellent teachers.

Karen, it’s go good to see your chronically-pained body exhibit such energy and passion! God blessed your mind with words to beautifully and persuasively explain the essence of your book. I was especially moved by your fresh insights to the familiar topic of good and evil. Marty
Marty,
Thank you for your response. My experience is that my continued study of the book I wrote keeps teaching and guiding me. I need this biblical teaching as much as anyone does! The Scriptures feed us, lead us, and change us.
I am preparing to teach this study here at our church in Florida beginning on Monday, March 30 and running for six Mondays through Monday May 4. That means we’ll be traveling through two chapters a week! I’m making more videos to go with the chapters. I need prayer for all of this, including the technological end of the project. We’re praying that the Lord will gather together ladies who need and will respond well to this study. Thank you!
I am reminded of Ezra 7:10. I’d like to be like Ezra.
Congrats, enjoyed listening and learning about your book!
