On being a Second Wife, Singleness and Sex, Skin Hunger, and more.

I rarely share posts on here pointing to writing or interviews I’m doing elsewhere. Partially because I don’t want to overwhelm with content, and partially because I don’t want it to feel like the ME show. However, I do want to honor those who’ve published pieces I’ve written or who have taken the time to interview me on various subjects. I’ll never make it a regular part of Sayable posts, but everyone once in a while I’ll share a slice of other spaces I’m inhabiting for a moment. This year there were a TON because of releasing the book, so I’m just going to share a few of my favorites.

This is a conversation I had a few weeks back with the girls over at She Reads Truth on the Proverbs. We spoke about the inner life of a Christian and how the Proverbs speak about this.

Below is an interview with Family Life Radio on being a second wife. This was a story I didn’t ever expect for myself and one that has been such a means of God’s grace and mercy to me.

Here’s an interview I did with Sarah Mae on Singleness and Sex for her sex series on The Complicated Heart. I just love Sarah Mae’s heart for the marginalized and the gift of this series (which is excellent).

Here’s a piece I have up on Propel Women right now on Skin Hunger and how to cope with the lack of touch we’re experiencing in our world during the COVID19 pandemic.

I disappointed a heckofalot of folks and cheered the hearts of a heckofalot more when I released this story about my thought process regarding voting. I did not share this lightly, it has been burdening me deeply and increasingly for the past few years. I understand there is MUCH disagreement here and today, on the day after Election Day, I understand emotions are still running high. But convictional, I felt I needed to share where I am. Some have asked why I published it on Medium and not Sayable. It’s not because I was embarrassed or afraid of losing readers, as some suggested, but because I really respect those of you who are regular readers and I did not want to enter your inbox with just one more election blog right before you cast your vote. My aim was—and is—not to sway your vote, it was simply to share my journey. I considered it to be a way of inviting you to read my story…or not. That was my reasoning, and that’s my reasoning now for sharing a link to it here. You can click, or not. Up to you.

Lastly, this is completely unrelated, but this morning fellow blogger Tim Challies shared the news that his son, a college student, died suddenly yesterday. The lost of anyone is tragic, but particularly when it’s a young person. Please be praying for the Challies family during this terrible time. I know from experience that God’s grace can be near in moments like these, but it certainly doesn’t lessen the grief. This is a terrible tragedy for Tim, Aileen, and their family. Challies family, the Wilberts are grieving with you.
