Description
By Her Shelf Podcast is all about introducing readers to books worth reading and people worth following. Each week, you'll get to know one reader based solely on her (or, on occasion, his) shelf--the books she/he reads, writes, or helps bring into the world. Occasionally, By Her Shelf will feature solo episodes from founder and podcast host Erica D. Hearns, topical episodes featuring By Her Shelf Contributors Alex and Christina, or other special bookish content.

CleanConfident Creation with Amanda Pittman | Today, we're getting to know Amanda Pittman By Her Shelf: Amanda Pittman is a Christian, a wife, and a mother. She is the author of two books, “Reflecting God’s Beauty,” and “Love Your First Year of Marriage.” Amanda is the founder of the Confident Woman Mentorship Program and helps her husband pastor The Gathering Oasis Church Downtown. In her free time, Amanda creates social media content that inspires and equips women to be confident and Christ-centered. In this episode, Amanda and I discuss: Consumption vs. creation in social media and reading Why even avid readers should give themselves space to write The odd reading habit Amanda shares with her mother ...and so much more. Amanda was the very first person I interviewed for By Her Shelf, and this interview really set the tone for me. Her words about creating and using our voices were the exact encouragement I needed to hear as I was stepping into this new space. If you find yourself struggling with self-confidence or using your voice, I know you will be encouraged by this conversation as well. Quotes: One of the most valuable things we've been given is our voice. It's not that you don't have any valuable thoughts, it's that you haven't give your mind any air to breathe. What are you doing with all the information you stored up? At the end of the day our confidence boils down to what we believe and if we believe the best about ourselves. If we believe what God says we are and who God says we are, then we're going to walk in confidence. Having the mindset of contentment and compassion is a way we can reflect the beauty of God and not the ugliness of the world. The Books (These are affiliate links.

Great concept and great style!
Love the concept of this show. And there’s a really cool style to the interviews. It feels both professional - like I’m getting a lot of out it, but also down to Earth and comfortable. Great show!
