As My Mind Unwinds

Jennifer Ervig pt 1

Do you have a passion for encouraging others?

Have you thought about ways you could connect with other people, bring them some encouragement, share your heart and honor Jesus all at the same time? Without (using the dreaded “PC” word today) “offending” anyone?

Well, my guest today has been able to do just that!

Jennifer Ervig is the of author of the book, “As My Mind Unwinds,” a 31 day devotional that is a compilation of different articles or blog posts she has shared with her followers, but in a devotional format. “When My Mind Winds Up.”

Currently working as the Connections Pastor at The Grove Church in Marysville, Wa, Jen strives to bring people closer to Jesus while encouraging them to not take themselves too seriously.

She’s worked as a ghost blogger for an SEO company for many years and has been a credentialed minister for 7 years. She also recently acquired her Assemblies of God Coaching Credential. Her writing has appeared in Angela Craig’s book, “Under One Umbrella”, as well as Reflections for Pursuit Church Live, Women Devotions, Faith Filled Family Magazine.

Help me welcome to the program, Jennifer Ervig! Jennifer, it so good to talk to you finally! Thank you for coming on the program!

Jennifer, the first question I always ask is this. Other than that short bit of information I provided, tell us in your own words, “Who is Jennifer Ervig?”

How did you get started in writing?

“Ghost writing,” that has some unique challenges, right? How do you find “the voice” of the person who wants you to write something for them?

Tell us about your book, “As My Mind Unwinds.” I love the little blurb on your website that says, “Much like Seinfeld is a “show about nothing”, As My Mind Unwinds is a devotional about nothing. There really is no theme except for this…finding a way to reconcile anything your mind unwinds or winds up about with who Jesus is.”

Tell me about witnessing through reviewing books? That is interesting because I’m an avid reader, sometimes 25 books a year, but more typically 15-18. How do you pursue that?

You have a blog post to encourage people to continue to tithe, even in hard times. Tell us about that time in your life when you learned that lesson.

In your writings, you focus on JOY over happiness. Can you explain the difference?

Since we have talked about some things in your new book already, tell us about your new book, “When My Mind Winds Up.”

This life, culture and society today, although an “easier life to live” than say, 100 years ago or even 50 years ago, has its own unique stressors that our grandparents did not have to experience. What are some ways someone can use to overcome anxiety?

Is this book written in a devotional format?

Folks, Jennifer Ervig’s book, “As My Wind Unwinds” and “As My Mind Winds Up” are unique in that they do not just preach to you. They goes deeper than that. They takes you closer to God. They allow you to see God in your everyday life. They allow you to commune with God, talk with God and HEAR from God in your daily routine.

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
