Sophia<\/a> is the Greek word for wisdom and within the story of Christianity, different traditions \u2013 such as the Eastern Orthodox Church<\/a> \u2013 have adopted the feminine imagery of Sophia as an icon of wisdom. I have chosen Sophia as the name of this podcast series because of the people I\u2019ve chosen to interview; I believe, as they share glimpses of their journeys with our Triune Creator, they are voices of wisdom that we all can learn from in this podcast series \u2013 as each of them have profoundly spoken into my life; I encourage you have a listen and let their wisdom seep into your pores.<\/p>\n

Pastor Debye Swilley is the twelfth interview for the Sophia Series that is featured here on the Whiskey Preacher<\/a>. Debye is one of the co-pastors\/CFO of Church In The Now<\/a> with her ex-husband Jim Swilley<\/a> who shocked the Christian world when he came \u201c out of the closet<\/a>\u201d with Debye\u2019s help in October of last year. Debye is also a life coach for Katapult Enterprises<\/a> and motivational speaker. You can find out more about Debye by visiting her on Twitter: @DebyeSwilley<\/a>.Thanks for popping by.
