In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am joined by LaTan Roland Murphy, a wife, mother, grandmother, sought-after speaker, award-winning writer, TV personality known for candid and honest communication.

Today, LaTan shares her experiences of dealing with significant life challenges, including the loss of loved ones and her husband's severe health issues. She emphasizes the importance of finding strength and joy in God's presence rather than relying solely on personal strength. Her book highlights the stories of ten women from the Bible who, despite their flaws and difficult circumstances, found strength and joy in God.

LaTan also touches on the writing process, sharing how personal grief and challenges shaped her work. She encourages women to share their own stories and to keep faith and determination amidst adversity.

So, remember the significance of staying focused on God’s strength and purpose, especially in difficult times is the way for growth and success. Women in midlife need to support each other to be bold in faith! Tune in now and relate yourself if you’re seeking encouragement andn wisdom in midlife and beyond!

Quotations:

"I think sometimes as women that's kind of what we do is lean into our own strength and our own power and our own ability to stir up joy all around us. But it's not really joy we're stirring up. It's a moment of happiness, but there's a big difference." - LaTan Murphy

"It's then that we really need to draw from our faith in Christ and be able to experience something that is so far bigger and so outside the realm of what we could ever model in our own human strength." - LaTan Murphy

"Some of us get overwhelmed by the small things of life, let alone the big things." - Dawn Damon:

"Dear sister listening, if you've not made that exchange yet, I encourage you to do that, that you lay down your efforts, your striving, your strength. That doesn't mean that we're not courageous, brave women taking steps of action. What it does mean is that we're not doing it by ourselves." - Dawn Damon

"There are a few women out there who will not be your cheerleaders. They'll think they'll misperceive your heart and what you're doing. And they'll make it their ambition to let you know that." - LaTan Murphy

"When you keep your eyes on God and you listen for his voice and how to do it, when to do it, and where to do it, everything changes." - LaTan Murphy
