#46: LeAnne Martin on Finding Beauty

On this episode of STEP INTO THE STORY Podcast, Phil talks with author, blogger, speaker, and Bible teacher LeAnne Martin.

LeAnne and Phil talk about how God has gifted her with the ability to write and when she knew she had that gift; how God used (and uses) beauty in her life during a particularly hard season of life, and how He wants to use beauty in our lives; building an awareness of Him and His beauty in nature, the arts, and the unexpected and how we can tune our eyes and hearts to what He’s trying to teach us through beauty; her blog GLIMSEN (and what does that term, glimsen, mean?); what Scripture means to her; her new book Glimmers of Hope: Meditations on a Life with Jesus, and so much more!

Freelance writer and speaker LeAnne Martin looks for the beauty around us and encourages others to do the same. Through her words and pictures, she shares glimpses of beauty in nature, the arts, and the unexpected on her blog at Glimsen.net

Her book, Glimmers of Hope: Meditations on a Life with Jesus, is a collection of her articles about walking with Jesus.

LeAnne has taught Bible studies, planned and led retreats, and currently co-leads women’s ministry at her church. She’s also a Graduate Fellow of the CS Lewis Institute Atlanta.   

LeAnne and her husband, Mart, live outside Atlanta with their goofy Lab mix and enjoy spending time with their adult daughter. LeAnne loves to read, meet friends for tea, take walks, and laugh whenever she can. 

Where to find LeAnne:

Her website is glimsen.net

She’s also on Facebook and Instagram @glimsen.


Here are a few Glimsen blog posts about beauty and wonder and why I started Glimsen. Note: My testimony about my divorce many years ago shows up in a few of these because it’s pivotal to why I write about beauty, but I don’t mention it very often.
