MS 071 Liz Curtis Higgs: Maturity, Faith, Writing, and Being Still

by Jacque Watkins

Liz Curtis Higgs POST PIC 1

Welcome to episode 071 of Mud Stories!

Mud Stories is a podcast dedicated to bringing you inspiration in your muddiest moments, hope to make it through your mud, and encouragement for you to know, you are not alone.

To get a FREE audiobook today, go to mudstoriesbook.com

and sign up for free 30-day trial and hear one of Liz’ books today!

In today’s episode I’m talking with Liz Curtis Higgs, author of more than 30 books–with over 4 million copies in print–including her best-selling Bad Girls of the Bible series, The Women of Christmas, and writing historical fiction novels and children’s books as well.

Liz is a national speaker whose messages are biblical, encouraging, down-to-earth, and profoundly funny, and she is passionate about helping sisters and seekers embrace the truth of God’s amazing, unchanging grace.

Liz resides with her husband Bill in Louisville, Kentucky. She is blessed to live near her two adult and even learns about God from her twin tabby, Samson and Boaz.

In this episode Liz:

  • Shares about the challenge of growing more mature in age and faith
  • Describes her writing process and morning routines
  • Explains the different details of writing fiction and non-fiction
  • Shares why her novels are set in historical Scotland
  • And some of the mud she faced in her twenties

Liz offers encouragement:

  • To become constant encouragers to those around us
  • To know and believe we can be used by God for good, at any stage of our lives
  • And for us to carve out time to find our still, quiet moments with God

And after you listen, I’d be SO grateful if you’d take the time to SUBSCRIBE to this podcast over in iTunes on your computer, or on the purple podcast app on your Apple device.

When you SUBSCRIBE, iTunes promotes Mud Stories, which helps others find this show. 

SCRIPTURE:

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
The God of my strength, in whom I will trust.
2 Samuel 22:2-3 (NKJV)
