Advent Makes Space for our Grief, but Christmas Makes Space for our Joy with Lanier Ivester- Episode 943

Lanier Ivester

Today on the show, I get to talk with my long-time friend Lanier Ivester.

I’ve known her for 30 years and I don’t think I’ve talked publicly much about my grandmother’s book store, but Lanier worked there growing up, so this conversation was so sacred to me—to relive some of those memories, to get to talk about my grandmother AND THEN get to talk about the Advent & Christmastide season, which y’all know is sacred to me too.

Lanier’s very first book, Glad and Golden Hours: A Companion for Advent and Christmastide, is out now and it’s so good. She has walked through great grief in infertility, losing her parents, and a house fire. I think you’re really going to love getting to know her story and her heart. 

We also recorded a little bonus for Single Purpose League too.
