Highlights from the Show:

• Lauren and Jackie both live in Oklahoma City. I love Lauren’s love story — she married her high school sweetheart and they’ve been married almost nine years! Not only is she a corporate ambassador for Hobby Lobby, she is also (with her husband) going through a Ph.D. program — wow!
• Jackie also married her high school sweetheart–and they’ve been married for 33 1/2 years! She and her husband, Steve, have been heavily involved in the launch of the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC which opened last year.
• Guys, I am really enjoying Only One Life! With the podcast, I get sent a lot of books and this one is just so good — definitely one that I have been recommending to all my friends! I asked Jackie and Lauren what the inspiration behind this book was and what made them want to write this book together.
• Legacy is so important. So often we as women wear the badge of multitasking with pride. I asked Jackie and Lauren for some tips on how women can live more intentionally in their day-to-day lives with a legacy mindset.
• One thing that I thought was so unique about Only One Life was that Jackie and Lauren profiled 36 women — from the Bible, history, and modern-day heroes, too — and tied it to character qualities. Lauren shared what she thought was the common threads of these legacy creators had.
• There are so many incredible women in history. Jackie and Lauren featured thirty-six of them, but I really wanted to know how they chose these thirty-six!
• I asked Lauren specifically about the legacy left by the women in her family who have come before, and how that has impacted her life today. I love the story of Lauren’s grandfather — the founder of Hobby Lobby and the only one of his siblings who didn’t go into full-time ministry. Lauren shares the story of how his parents were really worried about him because he wasn’t in ministry — Ha!
• I ask how Lauren and Jackie would encourage those women who are the legacy starters — those that are the first believers in their home that doesn’t really have a spiritual legacy behind them.
• Busyness is the enemy of legacy. I asked how we balance the busyness that is distracting us and the busyness of doing His work that He’s called us to do.
• Not only is the Green family involved in the Museum of the Bible, but also in Hobby Lobby. I asked them to share a little about those big steps of faith that they've had to take as a family working on all of these amazing projects and opportunities.
