Trillia Newbell is the author of Enjoy: Finding the Freedom to Delight Daily in God's Good Gifts (2016), Fear and Faith: Finding the Peace Your Heart Craves (2015), United: Captured by God's Vision for Diversity (2014) and a children’s book, God’s Very Good Idea: A True Story of God’s Delightfully Different Family (September, 2017). Her writings on issues of faith, family, and diversity have been published in the Knoxville News-Sentinel, Desiring God, Christianity Today, Relevant Magazine, The Gospel Coalition, and more. She is currently Director of Community Outreach for the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission for the Southern Baptist Convention. Trillia is married to her best friend, Thern, they reside with their two children near Nashville, TN.

In this conversation Trillia shares how we can be faithful in the everyday ordinary things and content even when life doesn’t look the way we expected it to. She talks about her struggle with fear, specifically fear of man, and ways she’s tackled that in her life. And she shares her passion for us all to know and see the Imago Dei (the image of God) in every person and the children’s book she’s written to help us do a better job of that for ourselves and our kids.

It was a joy to speak with Trillia. Her honesty about the internal struggles as well as her perspective that maybe not everyone has a God-shaped dream is an important voice in this conversation. I hope you enjoy her as much as I did!
