Joseph Lenard is an author and has been a fellow podcaster. We had a great time talking about a little bit of everything. He describes his book, Terror Strikes, as Christian sci-fi. How to Write a Book and Get It Published is written especially for those who have a book in their head (or their heart) that they need to get out. God gave us all talents, skills and abilities and we need to use all of ours. If writing is your talent, Joseph's book and this interview are for you.

The 21st Century podcast is a weekly interview podcast. It is hosted and produced by Karyn Beach. This first episode is a little different. Instead of having an interview, Karyn is talking directly to you about her faith walk.

After losing her mother at 15, Karyn walked away from reliance on God and chose to rely on herself. Mixed in with her successes, Karyn grappled with depression, frustration, and an unexpected medical diagnosis. All of this led to a suicide attempt.

An honest discussion with a good friend set her back on the right path.

Then two years ago all Hell broke loose. Unemployment, losing her home, her car and her father, Karyn eventually found herself homeless. From the valley, Karyn has started her business and her podcast.
