At the Heart...
All EpisodesIn efforts to heal, I started to write. The articles turned into chapters and before long, I decided to just call it a book. What I was discovering was so much deeper than just a personal journal. I found myself feeling so compelled to share it, but after I started on the eighth chapter, it became too cumbersome to share.
My sweet friend, Rebecca told me that she downloaded an app to read the chapters I had sent in efforts to help her be able to listen while she multi-tasked the many daily tasks of life with littles season. In recent months, I had started using Zoog to narrate children's books for my granddaughter, Ava, and absolutely loved feeling like I could connect with her in that way right now. I thought this was a great idea - I could read my own book!! I dusted off my decades-old radio broadcasting skills and started narrating my own heart-felt words. The Reluctant Journey With a Faithful God podcast was born.
This handsome fella to the right is my husband, Mike. You'll hear more about him in upcoming episodes He is my rock, my best friend and the man who builds my dreams. I sincerely would not be able to do any of this without him!

Authentic and Relatable
Venus describes her journey so beautifully through the episodes. While her journey is different from mine, I draw peace and comfort from her words as she shares scripture that relates to my situations as well. It doesn’t feel like I am reading a book or hearing a distant voice, but I feel like I am a part of the conver...

What an intimate display of raw, honest emotion. The vulnerability of Venus’ heart is such a beautiful act of worship to the Lord. As I listen to her words, I am reminded of 1 Peter 5:7… “Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.” NIV Venus shows us the reality of how challenging this in times of desp...
