Show Notes for Episode #140 with Helen Smallbone

Helen Smallbone, author of Behind the Lights, and mom of Rebecca St. James and for KING & COUNTRY, talks about the importance of a mum’s influence and their family’s journey from Australia to America and from unemployment to her kids topping the Christian music charts.

Today’s Guest: Helen Smallbone is the author of Behind the Lights: The Extraordinary Journey of a Mum and Her Family, co-founder of MUMlife (MUMlife.org) and co-host of the MUMlife Community Podcast. Her passion is encouraging mothers and families with the God-breathed wisdom she has gleaned during 32 years of active mothering. Born and raised in Australia, Helen dedicated her life to Christ as a teen at a Billy Graham Crusade. Now the mother of seven and grandmother of thirteen, Helen lives near Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband David and a small menagerie of animals.
