{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Reading Between the Lines","slug":"debr","podcastDescription":"

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.
