Reading Between the Lines is more than a podcast—it’s a conversation between friends. Hosted by author and editor Debra Butterfield, each episode offers real talk about life’s hardest moments, healing, and finding hope again.

Whether Deb’s reflecting on her own journey through trauma, faith, and resilience—or unpacking the deeper themes hidden in her fiction—she brings honesty, wisdom, and hard-won perspective to the mic. No fluff. Just real stories, grounded faith, and practical tools to help you move forward.

Deb is a survivor, a believer, and a storyteller. Her first book, Carried by Grace, tells the true story of walking through the unthinkable: her daughter’s abuse, the breakdown of her marriage, and the fight to rebuild. Now, nearly a decade later, she’s sharing what she’s learned—the pain, the process, the healing, and the grace that carried her through it all.

In this show, we “read between the lines” of everyday life. Expect honest conversations about life.

  • Part 2 Reconstructing Dad an Interview with Pastor Chuck Ammons
    13 Aug 2026

    Join me for part two of my conversation with Pastor Chuck Ammons as we discuss his latest book, Reconstructing Dad: Seeing God Through the Lens of Jesus.

    God intended for Israel to be a lighthouse to the rest of the world. Pastor Ammons discusses how what appears to be conditional love was simply that God wanted the world to see through Israel that “if God can do that for you, he can do that for me.”

    He also discusses God’s restorative love and rectifying love.

    Listen in and discover opportunities to heal your heart and your relationship with God.

  • Faith Is the Currency of the Kingdom
    18 Jun 2026

    Have you ever wondered why God's promises don't seem to be showing up in your life, even though you're doing everything you believe He asked you to do?

    In this episode, I share a personal realization from Romans 4 that challenged my thinking about faith, works, and God's promises. We'll explore how our view of God shapes our expectations and three questions that can help uncover beliefs that may be holding us back.

    Do you want to grow stronger in your faith and knowledge of the Kingdom? Living Strong in the Kingdom of God is a 7-week Bible study that teaches the basics of the Christian faith. Available from Amazon: https://amzn.to/3QufOhQ
