My guest today is Tabitha Panariso. Ours was one of those easy connections that started before we pushed record and lasted well after, and I attribute that entirely to Tabitha herself. This woman prizes real words, real stories, real honesty above all, even in the face of rejection or dismissal. I can get behind that kind of bravery, as you know, and I’m excited for you to hear how that courage fleshes out on any given Tuesday. Grab your coffee cup and listen into my conversation with Tabitha Panadiso. Her book, Loyal in His Love offers an even deeper dive on what we can gain when we are rejected, betrayed, or alone. This conversation was full of hope and hard-earned wisdom. I think you’ll love hearing from Tabitha.

Tabitha Panariso is a licensed professional counselor candidate (MA, LPCC), writer, and speaker dedicated to blending Christian faith, theology, and counseling into the fabric of everyday life. Her new book is Loyal in His Love: An Invitation to Be Held by Jesus When Others Let You Go. At the heart of Tabitha’s work is a deep commitment to holding space for life’s darkest moments and guiding others toward wholeness with compassion and clarity. She and her husband live with their three children in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jessica Thompson are one of my favorite mother-daughter pairs of all time. Both of these women are writers, speakers, and leaders in their own rights, but they also joined forces to write the book we’ll discuss today. If you are a parent or grandparent of kids of any age, an auntie, uncle, nanny or teacher or have any interaction with children you love, this episode is for you. It sure was for me. If you want your home and relationships to be drenched in freedom and grace and joy instead of shame or guilt or holy-catfish-how-will-we-possibly-survive-this-season-with-this-child, this episode is for you. A parenting experience rooted entirely in the scandalous grace of God? SIGN. ME. UP.

Jessica Thompson is a pastor at Risen Church in San Diego. She has her Master's in Biblical Studies from Redemption Seminary. She is a mother of three adult children and loves the Padres with her whole heart.

Elyse holds a certificate in biblical counseling from CCEF (San Diego) and an M.A. in Biblical Counseling from Trinity Theological Seminary. She has authored more than 25 books on daily living and the Christian life. Elyse loves to proclaim the good news of the gospel: That Jesus, the Second Person of the Trinity, perfectly obeyed all the Law in our place, suffered in isolation and agony as punishment for our sin, died, and then rose again, all for our justification.

A frequent speaker at national conferences, she has been married for over 50 years and has three adult children and six really adorable grandchildren. Along with her husband, Phil, Elyse attends Grace Bible Church in Escondido, California.

For this episode, I got the chance to chat with my friend Amy Seiffert. If you don’t already know Amy, you must. She is bright and funny and warm and approachable and smart. AND she has written a book that will shine fresh light on some people I have been ignoring for most of my life, much to my own missing out! I’ll let her tell you about these unsung women and what they have to teach us about the God who loves us.

Amy is an author, speaker, wife, and co-ringmaster to their circus. Her and her husband have three amazing and loud children who cause frequent gasps on a regular basis. Find her online atamyseiffert.com and@amysieffert.
