Mattie Jackson Smith: 2024 DLW Podcast Award Tournament Rd. 1

Help Me Pick the Best Podcast Conversation of 2024!

Every week for Wildcard Wednesday, I'll give you one of my (and your) top-four favorite interviews for the first quarter of the year. Then we'll have a survey for you to vote and choose a winner to move onto the semi-finals. After next quarter is over, we'll pick a winner from Q2, and then you can choose the finalist from the first half of the year by voting between those two. At the end of the year, we'll let the two semi-finalist winners battle to become the inaugural Dr. Lee Warren Podcast Award winner! Let's listen to these amazing conversations and then honor our guests for sharing their stories and their wisdom with us.

Mattie Jackson Smith's World Was Shattered

Just shy of her one-year anniversary with her husband Ben, a seemingly small accident left her widowed and wondering where God was. Her story is full of grief, pain, and loss, but lands on hope and a future full of God's kept promises. Her book Lemons on Friday is one of the best books on finding your way through grief I've ever read, and Mattie is on the podcast today to give you hope!

Mattie's podcast is incredible: In Joy Life

Mattie's book is available everywhere books are sold.
