Happy Hour #29 is with a friend that I met at the Influence Conference in 2014, and knew that I wanted to have her on the Happy Hour to chat with all of us! Sarah Martin is the author of Just Rise Up. Sarah is originally from Texas, but lives in North Carolina with her husband and son now. You can find her blogging over at her website LiveItOut!
We talk about all things important like shampoo lathering, being a Texan, where we fold our laundry, our happiest times of the day, & the AMA awards.
We did get serious and chatted about talking to our kids about topics that are hard for us and for them. I believe that your kids are hearing about things that you think they aren't, and so we need to be proactive in letting them hear things from us and not just from their friends around us.
We also chatted about how we love our husbands well. For me, I need to encourage Aaron when he writes songs, even though I don't have a clue what that process looked like for him.
Sarah's newest book, Just Rise Up: A Call to Make Jesus Famous, released this past Fall and you can get it HERE (kindle) or HERE (print).
Sarah's graciously giving giving away THREE copies to you guys! In a week I'll pick three winners and you'll each get a new book! All you need to do is leave a comment! It's super easy to win! (Contest over Monday, 2/16, at midnight CST)
**We recorded this in November, so forgive the references to Santa, Elf on the Shelf, & the AMA's!**
Listen to this episode here!
Looking forward to listening. I’m sure I’ll want the book by the time I’m finished. 🙂
It was so fun listening to all the questions and parenting tips today. I have a 2.5 year old and a 7 month old. It’s always helpful to hear about what comes next in parenting and how other people have handled it. Thanks! I’m excited to read more about the book!
oooh, this book sounds like it would hit me right in the heart!
Can’t wait to listen to this podcast. Is love to win a copy of the book.
The book sounds great. Love your podcasts!
Great podcast!
I love the idea of making Jesus famous with our lives. I feel that I’ve done so many things wrong with my life that all I’ve done is brought shame to Him. I recently came back to Jesus after a long time away amd I want to learn how to make Him famous with my life. I’m on unemployment amd my car keeps breaking down so there is no way I cam afford to buy the book any time soon, so I really hope I am blessed by winning a copy.
AWESOME podcast! Loved hearing Sarah’s excitement. Such a fun and encouraging hour. I’m looking forward to reading her book!
Love your Happy Hour! Look forward to listening to this one!
Loved this podcast so much! It so full of such wise words about parenting, love languages and the nightmare that is Santa Claus! I am just beginning to write a study on several Psalms, so would love a copy of Sarah’s book to use as a resource. 🙂
Excited to listen! I was going to buy this book but I will wait with my fingers and toes crossed that I will win it instead! 😉
I was so excited when I saw that you had a new podcast posted!! I was having Happy Hour withdrawals. I love the fun girl talk, bits of wisdom and words of encouragement that I get out of each one.
I have really enjoyed listening to this podcast! New to podcasts and this is so spot on with my life these days (even if recorded in November). I have a 10 yo boy and 7 yo girl….oh the questions and references we get now. I’m totally in agreement that we call our body parts their real names – and it’s definitely been made known in public bofore! – I think and hope it takes the mystery out of “it” all. I love the name of the book!! I’d LOVE LOVE LOVE to add this to my stack of to reads this year.
just found your podcast and enjoyed this first episode. Would love to read Sarah’s book.
Jamie–I love love LOVE listening to your podcasts–they even make me look forward to cleaning so I can listen to you and every new “friend” you introduce me to. Thank you for the happiest hour of my week. Carry on, sister! You are a blessing! Also, as a stay at home mama to 3 littles, this book sounds awesome!

Loved this conversation! And I love the way you deal with differing opinions on your show, Jamie! I always feel so awkward when I talk about differences of opinion with my friends so I need to study your method. Awesome show! Thank you.

I’ve been loving your podcast! You mentioned at one time the name of the sex books you use to talk with your kids. I can’t remember which episode. I was hoping you’d mention it again this time when you and Sarah were talking about it but since you didn’t I thought I’d ask. My oldest is almost three so I know we’re close to the questions starting to pop up. Thanks in advance!
