Listen Sister! – Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life

Tess Scott pt 2

I was raised in Michigan, and my grandparents lived on the St. Clair River. Sometimes we would grab innertubes and they would take us several miles up the river and let us float down and across the mile wide river to Canada. Then we would catch the Ferry back (which just happened to be next door to my grandparents house)!

The reason I’m sharing this little tid-bit of my history with you, is because our guest today lived something of the same life – and, she is actually from the city just across the river, where we would catch the Ferry home!  Sarnia, Ontario!

Tess Scott is the founder of a great ministry called, “Listen, Sister! Encouragement Ministry” and the author of an absolutely fabulous book titled, you guessed it, “Listen, Sister! Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life!”  It is a collection of short, funny stories pointing out how God works in the chaos of life.  I’ve read it and, I’m telling you – it is hilarious!

Other than making Brother Bob laugh, what is the Mission behind your book and ministry?

I also had a good laugh at your “hair clip” calamity!  Care to share about episode?

One of my favorite foods is Lasagna. You have a pretty good memory in your book about  cooking lasagna. Can you share that with us?

Tess, what was the hardest thing that has happened to you and what did you learn from it?

What does your son’s and husband have to say about reminiscing so publicly about some of their, let’s say, “misadventures” that you document in the book?

Tess, this is so good. How can someone obtain their own copy of your book, “Listen Sister! Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life?”

If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or possibly to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?

I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.

Folks, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of you ordering your own copy of Tess Scott’s book, “Listen Sister! Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life.”  This book is medicine for your soul!  Proverbs 17:22 says that “A merry heart does good like a medicine…”  It’s been proven by scientific research that laughter decreases stress and increase immunity and infection fighting antibodies. In this time of COVID and turmoil in the world, you need a good laugh!  And Tess Scott’s book will help you to do so.

Wouldn’t be great if just ordering her book, “Listen Sister! Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life” is what protected you from COVID!  Remember, “All things are possible with God” and “God works in mysterious ways!”  Who’s to say? Amen!

So drop down into the show notes and click the link right there. Order your copy today. In fact, order two three or more copies and brighten up someone else’s day, too! Praise God!

Tess, thank you for taking the time to join us today. I really enjoyed our time together!

Interviews with influential Christian ministry and business leaders / owners, authors & musicians & prophecy experts, too!

Each podcast is approximately 28-35 minutes in length (give or take a few minutes). This is an interview based podcast that will often dig deep into the beliefs of the guest being interviewed.

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.
