Last Words Heart & Soul for Women of Faith Year 6, Episode 208 Jory H. Fisher, JD, PCC Kim Crabill www.JoryFisher.com www.RosesandRainbows.org Jory Fisher: Hello and welcome to Heart & Soul for Women of Faith, a radio show designed specifically for Christian women leaders and entrepreneurs. My co-hosts and I focus our discussions on how to live a joyful and purposeful life by developing healthy bodies and souls, healthy minds and finances, and healthy relationships. Our goal is to help you nourish your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being so you can make the difference you’re called to make and glorify God through success. I’m Jory Fisher, a featured host on BlogTalkRadio with my co-host: author, speaker, ministry leader, and sweet friend, Kim Crabill. Good evening, Kim, and thank you for joining me for Year 6, Episode 208 of Heart & Soul for Women of Faith, how are you tonight? Kim Crabill: Good evening, Jory. I’m great. I’m wonderful. I’m so glad to have this opportunity to be with you and to speak with the wonderful people who will be joining us on this blog radio for these next few minutes. Jory Fisher: You know what’s really cool is to think that, well, I guess until Jesus comes back, I think BlogTalkRadio is going to be going strong. So people might be listening to this… who knows, 2020, 2025, I don’t know. Isn’t it amazing? I mean, they say that your words, once they go out there, they are out there permanently. Well, I guess in the case of internet radio, that’s kind of true. Kim Crabill: And that’s a powerful thing to think about and the peace that’s in that and the encouragement that is in that is that as we share our views, we’re basing everything on biblical principles and we’re sharing God’s Word, and we know that He tells us that His Word never changes, so it could be 100 years from now and the Word will be just as powerful then as it is Heart & Soul for Women of Faith Episode 208 now. That’s a great peace to know that we can share a word that will be just as relevant whenever someone hears it as it will be this evening. I like that. That’s God’s Word, alive and always working for us. Jory Fisher: Right, even if you and I aren’t here anymore. Kim Crabill: Yes. Right but we’ll be in a better place, Jory. Jory Fisher: That’s right. There’s that old song, “Christians don’t die. We just change our address” or something… Kim Crabill: There you go. Yes, that’s true. Jory Fisher: All right. You all, before Kim and I really get going here, we just want to tell you a little bit about who we are and how we each fulfill our calling.

Kim Crabill: Absolutely. Before I do that though, Jory, I just have to tell you the way that you have equipped yourself to make an impact on the people that you come in contact with is such a joy for me to have had the privilege to watch over the last year or so since I’ve known you, and I hope that as the listeners hear you speak of that, that you help them become crystal clear on their calling. There is such a need for that today and so for anyone who is listening, I really hope that they will contact you because I have seen you in action. I’ve seen your heart and your desire to really work with people to bring out their greatest potential in Christ. If there is Heart & Soul for Women of Faith Episode 208 ever a time in our world that we need that, it’s now. I just hope that people will respond to that. I’ve had just the sheer joy to work with you and it has been great. Jory Fisher: Thank you. Kim Crabill: My name is Kim Crabill. I am the founder of a nonprofit ministry, Roses and Rainbows. I also help women and actually churches create spaces that are called COFFEE, Conversations Of Friends of Faith to Encourage and Equip, which is literally just a place where friends of faith can gather, can talk, can be accepted right where they are and know that right where they are is the best place to be because that’s our starting point to continue our growth. To reach me for any type of speaking engagement, you can go to my website, which is www.RainbowsandRainbows.org. Jory Fisher: Fantastic. You were so sweet. Let me just return the favor a little bit. Thank you. I’ve had the privilege of being a “table talker” (Lord knows I can talk), but that’s kind of like a small group leader, I guess, at our table for the home base. You have, gosh, how many COFFEEs now around the United States and Canada? Kim Crabill: We have actually added three this week and we’re working on more. So I’ll be in Texas in a few weeks. Churches have started taken on the ministries now, Jory, so it’s just totally God at work. Jory Fisher: Wow. Well, I just feel so fortunate that I live in Baltimore. Isn’t that something? Two Southern girls brought to Baltimore. Kim Crabill: I know. Jory Fisher: But I’m so glad that I got to meet you in person and be part of your Baltimore COFFEE. That’s where you film and everything gets sent out to all of these satellite offices, so to speak, the ministries in the other locations; but it has been just such a pleasure being part of it for, yes, it has been a year and a half now, Kim, that we’ve known each other. Kim Crabill: Yes. Heart & Soul for Women of Faith Episode 208 Jory Fisher: I really, really love it and just to see the profound impact that coming together and being real has on women is just absolutely incredible. It’s so beautiful. Bless you, bless you. Kim Crabill: Thank you and I hope that in the future, you will be able to join me as we move out to do these regional conferences and I’m really looking forward to that. Thank you. Jory Fisher: I’m your girl, all right. Well, everyone, just a few words about Heart & Soul for Women of Faith, which has been airing on Wednesday evenings at 8:30 PM Eastern on BlogTalkRadio.

So Kim, we’re going to be talking about a couple of different things today, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they didn’t weave together ever so nicely. Why don’t you introduce the topic that we’re going to focus on first? Kim Crabill: Well, I would like to talk about promises that we can leave with one another and things that we can say to one another, to encourage one another, and I would also, you know, this came up as you and I were talking and planning this session, we were talking about, one of the things, that there are few words that people have spoken I’m sure to each of us that we have just catalogued in our mind and when we need a special encouragement or a special “atta girl,” we pull that out from our resources and use that to guide us. I wanted to do that today. I wanted us to take some time and think, if we weren’t together, if we were just out on our own, what are some things that we can plant in our mind almost as if they are seeds of truth that can grow as we grow and nourish us and keep us keeping on in this world? That’s what I wanted to talk about today is: what are some final words that we can say to each other that would sustain us? Jory Fisher: I love it. So well, I’m glad you and I aren’t parting company forever and ever or anything like that. So these would be words that you could be saying goodbye perhaps to a Heart & Soul for Women of Faith Episode 208 friend that you might not see for awhile or oh gosh, we all have had that situation or will at some point have the situation where we are saying goodbye to a loved one who is dying.
