Summary: Hey everybody! Welcome to Episode 3 of Chatologie with Angie Elkins. I’m so glad you’ve decided to listen in on my conversation today with Stacey Thacker. Stacey is one of my dearest friends here in Orlando, and today is the first time she’s spoken publicly about her husband’s cardiac arrest in February of this year. It’s a really dramatic and powerful story of God’s presence, and I’m excited to share it with all of you today.<br> Before we get started, I’m so happy to tell you that the show today is sponsored by Premier Designs and method-1.com.

Stacey is a blogger at staceythacker.com and mothersofdaughters.com, and she has written “Hope for the Weary Mom” with Brooke McGlothlin (who will be a guest on chatologie in a few weeks), and most recently “Fresh Out of Amazing”, which Stacey will talk about in our interview. She’ll also talk a little about her new book coming out in August called “Is Jesus Worth It”. Not only do we talk about some of what Stacey has written, we discuss the unexpected loss of her Dad several years ago, her daughter’s illness, and most recently, the very dark days after her husband’s cardiac arrest. I’ve been hanging on every word she’s written or spoken lately, and I know you’ll find this as inspiring as I did.
