In this heartfelt episode, Kelly chats with author and podcaster Tricia Goyer about her debut novel Finding Forevermore—and the surprising ways God redirected both her writing and her walk of faith. What began as a love story on paper quickly became a real-life testimony of surrender, trust, and divine timing. Kelly opens up about how the plot of her book took an unexpected turn and how leaning into Proverbs 3:5–6 helped her release control and embrace God’s perfect plan. This conversation is a must-listen for writers, readers, and anyone who’s ever had to trust God with a story they didn’t see coming.

Meet Kelly Jo Wilson
Kelly Jo Wilson writes Christian romance that reflects God’s grace, redemption, and love. As a nurse, she has witnessed firsthand the brokenness that inspires her to create stories of healing and second chances. She loves being a wife, mom-ing two energetic boys, and cuddling with her Rottweiler. Kelly’s a firm believer that hot cocoa tastes better in a Christmas mug, that Hallmark movies count as research, and that Jesus is the King of plot twists. Her greatest joy is crafting stories that remind readers no heart is too broken for God’s love to restore.
Her family secrets. His guilt. One road trip that changes everything.
Raven Cunningham has built a quiet life between the shelves of a small-town bookshop, ghostwriting stories for others while hiding her own. She’s long believed her father abandoned her, until a letter from her late grandmother reveals a shocking truth.
Convinced the reclusive author J.C. Nevermore is her father, Raven sets out to uncover the real story. When her childhood friend Cole Walker, an Army medic wrestling with his own scars, offers to help, she’s not sure if she can trust him . . . or herself.
As they chase clues and revisit old memories, what begins as a search for answers becomes a journey toward something deeper.
Finding Forevermore is a heartfelt story about faith, family, and the kind of love that’s anchored in God’s unfailing grace.
