Writers Chat, hosted by Johnnie Alexander, Brandy Brow, and Melissa Stroh, is the show where we talk about all things writing, by writers and for writers!

“Because talking about writing is more fun than actually doing it.”

The Third Path with Eva Marie Everson

In this episode, Eva Marie shares her love for prayer labyrinths and a journey to better understanding of this ancient practice.
