Julie Knox, Christian Bohlen, and Jennifer Imediegwu

Versus where you hear from ordinary people instilled with an extraordinary passion together we explore the stories of men and women who take what they love and let God turn their passion into kingdom pursuits now live from the truth.

Your host Robbie Gilmore welcome to kingdom person so excited that you tuned in with us today and I think your right focus.

We have some really great new authors with us. We have Christian Bolin. He is the author of Jesus Christ his life and mine and Christian welcome to kingdom pursuits. Thank you so much bigger and then the little teaser that's on the end of that how it applies to us in the twitter era.

So it was with Jesus, you know, we obviously get to follow Jesus, but how do you kind of quickly take us into what your books about Jericho intended to make the life of Jesus like a movie with resurrection and simple to read. Not too long on design for modern readers who increasingly have less willingness or time to read and to make it all relevant to today's context and basically in a nutshell, that messages really been resonating with bill will hunger for time is is is a challenge. No doubt you know it's it's sort of a scary thing but hopefully your book can help impact some functioning to get into that next up we have another new authors Jennifer and I'm in a just say Jennifer first time because I let you pronounce your last name for so I can hear right. Well at least once, maybe a good and she is the author of letters to her becoming a woman of purity purpose and a Proverbs 31 virtue. So, how cool is that an so can you share with us a little bit of of what that is her reader on a personal journey finding her true purpose and got him tell it on the vertical relationship with Christ, allowing God to clarify what God created no one wants to read aloud rates fell on it also covers the horizontal relationship to be dark and raining crankshaft mentoring relationship and ultimately the marriage license check for that relationship article archive.

Wow well on the twofold purpose and very unique journey back the reader take three letters to her so I'm curious about the title itself letters to her were what is that time to come in how to come up with sure thing Ray and it really helped me with the title so I had to break the block and started working with the publisher and everything at the original title on the publisher that you know Emily on the marketing you just want to be unique in that part so I would encourage you to reconsider the title and felt I had when I started brainstorming and crying together and I would actually get idea to name it letters to her and then I came up with that secondary title and it really draws from the actual format of the book written in the form of bladder and each chapter on additive written as a letter is addressed to the reader at your beloved car and at the end of each letter I sign off and yet you know I going to write you a check. I like every single matter. I sign off and I'm looking for that particular letter and down and coaches written in a very personal matter and and and really thinking to connect with the reader that it is a personal letter and they know were dealing with personal Experience, not a generic book for you into a crowd of people, but I'm speaking to you, the reader, and I just really think to connect with people that way. Christian and she brings up an interesting point is is you.

Was this your first the Christian.

And so Jennifer, I'm assuming it's your first book as well. So here you got all this content that God lays out in your heart like you go to organize it in a way that actually comes into something that's a book, and so the letters to him. Obviously, we can see was Jennifer's way will. How did you do that Christian will model was 20 years and over 20 years in the making. It took a lot of iteration and did I really appreciated the intro to your program about how God takes ordinary people and said so to accomplish his purposes. I do really strongly feel that what is not like I hesitate to even call of my book is just make me wince a bit because I do feel that God shaped me to circumvent my life to create the desired and then the ability to help form, but it took a while and I had nearly 100 test readers contribute from different perspectives and getting great feedback and guidance and ultimately it just took shape in terms of the movielike experience of the life of Jesus all combined with commentary like a guided tour, but not trying to replace Scripture and coming up with thought provoking reflection questions that help help the reader really similar to what Jesus was like, and so what would I do know taken the what would Jesus do question and just turning it about what would I do about that structure really unfolded over the last several iterations of the last five years and it just worked the resonator that I really felt God's hand shaping up Jennifer Christian. I think that there is a lots of people listening today that I feel God's tug to take their passion they have a passion about something in Jim's content and then how do I organize that and then I know a lot of people listening to be curious how you found a publisher and know what what was that process. Christian, so it is tough to get the so-called traditional publishing contract and I'm so grateful.

This is another thing I just felt God's hand. I felt strongly moved to go to a conference last summer. Nashville and I was introduced to Larry Carpenter is a former executive at Thomas Nelson longer than just a incredible background super well-respected man who created his own company to help others get there quicker and so does quick plug for Larry and his team that they are just empathic and we started talking.

It just felt right and you know I think so. The self-publishing route is very appealing, but human blog. I stuff that you need to know and finding a partner somebody like carpenter son publishing which the company was very, very important.

Well we have 1/3 guest with us that we finally just got connected with today and that is Julie Noxon.

Julie is old friend and been on the show many times she is with OEM ships, which is this amazing mission organization that goes out in ships across the world and right Julie and lately logos hope is just celebrated their 10th anniversary right now it back on your skill again when it 1970 the part of the global organization operation mobilizing and that's right with elevating that week. Our fourth and biggest so that we have the boy can years now I've run the world and what's a little for me personally is Julie plays on Christian cargo theater. One of the voice exacted you not capitalize on this voice that she said so if you listed to go to Chicago. There you go, you know, that sounds awfully familiar. Well, that's because it's the voice of Julie who I met at the W number years ago and what a delight it is to hear what's going ships and students will hear a lot about OEM ships and you might be thinking, Robbie, what about a little yes I have a little because he was struggling to get Julie connected and I we went wait until the next segment to give you a bit on that. I am so delighted to have with us today to: Jennifer and me you were to give you all that stuff… You can see the books. Find out more about LOM ships since the sum of 14% passion then uses it to build the kingdom and we are so blessed to have with us a couple of authors today and sailor we have Jennifer made it for one more time for me.

Jennifer mediated that so cool that a slave is a great name and she is the author of letters to her title becoming woman of purity purpose in Proverbs 31 virtue. We also have Christian Bowen Bolin actually and he is the author of Jesus Christ his life and mine.

The story of Jesus Christ and how it applies to us in the twitter era. The course Julie Knox with OEM ships with logos hope celebrating the 10 years of ministry.

As I mentioned as we went to the bridge can find out about all that and so much more kingdom pursuits.com you can order their book and by the way, if you get it on Amazon. By all means there's nothing in like an encouragement to a new author to go in and give them five stars and tell them what you liked about the book and those kind of things is very, very, very encouraging because you know just think how the courage it takes to put yourself out there and do that kind of thing but I knew you we had to get to a little today Tony. So, speaking in our sales because we got the logos hope right. It's a sailing ship so speaking of sales ever thought about that but certain ship captains would be considered sales manager right here this one.

Julie now that I have developed polyurethane sales. I guess it's clear sailing from here young sailors on logos hope think it you know all the ways are just. Well, like I would. I time out to the bump on the second and if this is my personal favorite of those I devised this morning. If a baby is born on board logos hope right they have to be careful not to clip the biblical record with a naval destroyer you about laughter.

Julie you think is funny, she will not laughing all right. Well, I thought. So with all the shenanigans being said which apostle though he could barely see where Shirley seaworthy so there's actually little to call in the wind today at 866-34-TRUTH 87884 which apostle though he could barely see where Shirley see worthy 866-348-7884 and if you can guess that, though it to the wake forest versus night game on Tuesday, February 26. While this does next Tuesday.

Thank you, Rachel.

So you call in 866-34-TRUTH 87884 and tells which apostle though he could barely see where Shirley see worthy and Julie, although I'm not tickling your sense of humor today.

But undoubtedly of your in South Carolina today. Usually you may tell that Julie Scott from South Carolina but is logos hope in the United States that now where we have our care where I killed that day with all the love itself is the world's largest looking bookstore. I only actually need a whole lot of book that Christian publication, publisher and other that we are able to use a minute and the client very kind of pricing and community. The world may not otherwise get good quality that could check South Carolina back where I wear a we have volunteers from all over the world become the book and then we can Delphi container.

I can't. Whichever port and can meet at least up and down by different. I felt wherever she is currently in the port of Lyrica and in Chile like it quite near the kind of content you so that you instruct my curiosity and I thought I knew a lot about going ships that I guess I never thought about that angle are a lot of your books then in Spanish in different languages as you visit those ports at the right way. What can we take stock of the bank that we are carrying a big fundraising drive really talk a lot about the Spanish language and later this year when we had up there. Of course, tell me to have put electric care on all for now we can offer to come on board with elevating our anniversary of the hope we let me just tell you that we crank it out. Logos hope had more than 8 million, but I kept on board and we praise God that all the million of what Christian Beck and Bible and that amazing. Jennifer's is as you think about your book, how long is it been out Jennifer but the release date. Tell Gary a very new to the market and and I just think how excited feedback I've gotten condemned to purchase the box on how it encouraging their relationship with God in your walk in their journey and fell to a really fun start so it's amazing to me that your book will be in English and so logos hope to distribute that something Africa where they speak English or in Australia were obviously in England and those kind of places it in a God gave you letters to her and now you could literally be touching lives internationally as as he's taken his what he gave you and II think you think that this is true since your books than I little bit. Have you noticed that something you really didn't think maybe when you wrote it was all that significant. But somebody's coming to you and saying you know this chapter right here this that you are right there really just spoke to be here because God's kinda directing where that goes into the heart that is going to go to the hope of being obedient, I certainly did not out to be an author.

That wasn't my goal when I had you know when I go out I want action, Attorney and I realize that you think vocational current research and writing in public speaking and being an advocate for people and using after hitting a perfect you know preaching when and fell very interesting journey. I'm just so grateful that I was able to connect to God. Well, they certainly had a Jonah moment where you know it's like you.

This is scary. You know the vulnerability aspect of sharing your story and and or you know public speaking are like black the end of the day at work know this is your well.

Please open door. You know the whole publishing team. All of the coming together opportunity to reach my man and until I am just a humble fetus come together and and I know it's just the beginning. That is really really cool so Christian. Jennifer is is an attorney that's her day job, so I'm curious about yours because I'm guessing that you're not at the point where being an author is paying the bills. The you and I can very much relate to what know what you do surgeon Jennifer my day job been involved in education and training for the last 30 years with corporate training for almost 20 and my formal education is in communications, and specifically what they call instructional design so crafting learning material that are appropriate for particular audience, typically an adult work place environment with a focus on helping people to actually change the behavior you know, not just knowledge for the sake of knowledge and education in the generic sense, but really a very targeted approach. I think that that mindset really one of those things that I see is the hand of God, apparently for something that was far more important than my corporate clients as much as I care about them was to craft something that would really you know and spill the light of Jesus Christ in such a way that would motivate and inspire and enable becoming a new creature. I was reading something recently that God plants, but I think it was actually a sermon by Spurgeon talks about the Isaiah passage were of the divine.

He had planted, but God specifically knows this is where Christian would grow. This is where Jennifer, this is where Julie would get this and as he begins to plant you and you bear fruit it it it's based on a lot of where you're planted there in the legal world are there in the educational world and in Julie's case right Julie you work for the BBN and so your big deal is in communication as well. PVC not BBN. I'm sorry I forgot all he hadn't arrived at high on me and gave me and I'm not dying coaching on board the ship right not to volunteer.

You know they become more often. After going on and before starting a job that young. But they want to start him on board in all different countries 400 volunteers to come from more than 70 different nations around the world.

The real problem board not in their first language as well altering the generalist on board the ship young women.

Well let me remind you again that you can find Jesus Christ's life and in Jennifer's book letters to her. I wasn't actually Christian kingdom pursuits.com as well as more on IOM ships and how you pursuits.com is working ever since, I am God provides us with amazing examples of that today we have Christian Bolin and Jennifer.

We have just you think I could say it admitted I can't say we have Christian and and Jennifer there both authors. Jennifer's book is letters to her and Kristin's book is Jesus Christ his life and mine along with Julie Knox and my favorite characters in Christian cargo theater and a good friend. I'm so glad she's here stateside, but we can talk to her today. She's in the Florence book warehouse which I can suddenly realize that there was a book warehouse, but while I have all three of you and I wanted when I read Jennifer's title. I was intrigued with something I've thought about once. But before I say that, let me remind our listeners that we have this riddle that is yet to be written, we have tickets to giveaway to a Wake Forest Miami game on Tuesday. All you have to do is tell us about really thought this one was easy, which apostle though he would could barely see where Shirley seaworthy which apostle which you will, that narrows it down to 12 guys make you know.

Though he could barely see was Shirley seaworthy 866-34-TRUTH 87884 so here is my last Jennifer originally but then when I want to get Christians take on the Sauget joystick, and especially Jennifer because it's in the title of her book and she's also an attorney, so I love that so she can tell me if I'm out of bounds which I'm often out of bounds but here's what I've given this a lot of thought over the years I have come to the conclusion that a lot of people misinterpret Proverbs 31 but like so many things in the Bible it applies to a lot of things and there's more than one angle on the way to look at but if I am in fact the bride of Christ. That's me, Robbie Gilmore and you Jennifer and you Christian then doesn't. Proverbs 31 really apply to me because as the bride of Christ should be right. Selecting wool and flax, shouldn't I be like merchant merchant ships bringing in substance from afar. Shouldn't I be doing all those things. Even though I'm a man of course we got ships in there for Julie, but she girds herself with strength, and invigorates her arm. She discerns businesses good. Her lamp is never gone out. Another was always things if you look at those and I am the bride of Christ does not really apply to everybody. That's certainly very appropriate and unique perspective, I think that that traditional view of that much to do with the wife and appeared to be a godly one and I'll take care of the home and getting the community and making him talking out of people.

Glad when I think I like the bowl I'm reminded of that passage that talked about and preparing to be out there and I think it can, but don't have the scripture pulled right right at this moment, however when you look at bank appearing to be pastors are Aldara fairly have to have that beer a narrow focus going into vocational ministry preaching from a poll tax applicable. I think that applicable to any man striving to be a godly man to be that that's that's what now you just gave me more expansion so I got a go to Christian buddy. Are you ready to pull my man card so you know clearly your study of the word and I don't know what your thoughts on what we don't know. Proverbs 31 as well Jennifer but I love the metaphor of being the bride in Christ being the bridegroom. There's so much richness there and what comes to my mind again.

From the perspective of my own book.

What I'm trying to tell people experiences this you can't really love your spouse if you don't know them. If you don't come to see them for who they really are and know we can't love Christ is the bridegroom. If we haven't really gotten that experience and that's why for me.

You know the gospel just didn't really connect when I was younger and it wasn't until I truly immersed myself in the life of Jesus and experience that I grew to admire and understand his true identity is greatness.

Love him and truly have that experience. Where are you now want to be faithful to the bridegroom. That's beautiful and I can more but you… Second Psalms challenge me for years and since just the sunless.

He gets angry.

Well, you know that this is real appealing to a man that I know it really just provoked me to like to find that that was worthy of me wanting to to just fall in his arms and kissed and and and and that's exactly what you're talking about but Juliet you know I didn't want to leave you out of the discussion as is your thing about those merchant ships from afar you and you know all that wall, but I can't communicate. We were glad I got here, but they're on sale there. At young people are reading about alcohol and tobacco, especially in oncoming Heidi Young people from all over the world are carrying the hope of community and mobilizing other characters around the world and mission provided. I perspective I Owe Christianity Globally. You Know, I Think the Five He Was Sitting Next to Come in from Russia Who Wanted to Learn like That That I'm He Had What He Had Heard the Dying Light Dying. I Think Rhonda Weldon. He Was the Fight and Meet Our Crew Members Become All Sorts of Cases That Maybe It's Not Even Appropriate for Me to Bank and from the Things That I'm Going to Make 1/2 at People, but It's Feminized How Young People Learn from Them.
