Today's show is a special edition of The Happy Hour with two very special guests – Kathie Lee Gifford and my main man, Aaron Ivey. If you've been listening to the show for any length of time, you know Kathie Lee has been one of my bucket lists guests for a while now. I am just completely overjoyed to finally have her on the show today. And after our conversation, my husband and best friend, Aaron, joins me to chat about his book, Steal Away Home.
In my conversation with Kathie Lee, we talk about how she has been so bold about her faith with such a huge platform. She shares about her experience sharing her faith on national television after her husband, Frank, passed away. She recently had a record breaking performance on The Today Show of her newest song, He Saw Jesus. She talks about the songwriting process and how she was able to make it through such a heartfelt performance. Kathie Lee also shares about her latest project: The Little Giant.
Aaron joins me for the second half of the show. We talk about his new book, Steal Away Home, a historical fiction story of the life of Charles Spurgeon. I am such a huge fan of the book (obviously), but I promise you will love it. It's truly an incredible story of love and friendship and freedom. We also take some of your questions about how we manage two careers, stress, a family of six, dinnertime and what irritates Aaron. It's fun for the whole family.
{You can listen to the show HERE. And of course, I would love if you would share with your friends. Just use the FB & Twitter links at the end of this post!}

You are killing it Jamie Ivey! I keep saying after every episode, I think this is her best episode yet and then the next week you do it again! I find myself talking back to the podcast saying “Amen” and “Preach it”. And Melanie Shankle for the Christmas gift episode?!? That is going to be a holiday highlight and hysterical for sure! Keep up the great work you are doing and answering the call of our Great God!
And BTW, I read Aaron’s book right when it came out and loved it! I have already passed it around for others to read, too. Hearing you guys talk about how the characters were so much of your everyday reminded me of how much I enjoyed getting to know Charles Spurgeon in such a unique way. I have thought back often about Charles and Thomas, slavery and the fight for freedom, passion and faithfulness. Thank you Aaron for doing the hard work…you nailed it and God is glorified through it!
loved this episode so much! Kathy was so so good !! Now I need to find this play for my 7 yr old girlie thanks for bringing it every week much love
