What does it mean to stand your ground and pray big? This week I welcome guest Linda Kozar. She’s an award-winning multi-published author who writes both non-fiction and fiction, including cozy mysteries! What is a cozy mystery? Find out as I ask Linda this question and more. Linda has a heart to encourage others with a touch of humor and a precious Southern flair. We talk about praying big, trusting God, what surrender looks like, and the importance of sharing our testimonies.

We also talk about one of her newest books, Gimme Some Sugar: 90 Devotions to Sweeten Your Day in a Godly Way.

I loved my conversation with Linda, and I know what she shares will encourage, inspire, and challenge you, so listen in while I have a chat with Linda Kozar.
