The #fierygizzardtrail is one of the most beautiful hikes I’ve done in #tennessee, and the pictures barely do it justice. (at Fiery Gizzard Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGdyIIWhXPm/?igshid=1obpobdp0uyje

We conquered the #fierygizzard today (a trail, not a medical condition) and couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day or hiking partner. (at Fiery Gizzard Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGdw7BLBFiO/?igshid=9s5plh2yedfd

Big day here at the Piper house - 1st day of 4th book. I’m going try to behave, to be brave, and to work my hardest. (at Gallatin, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFzGKFMBlUS/?igshid=1rd9sy6gln6jr

THIS WEEK https://www.instagram.com/p/CFrq1ubBsra/?igshid=13n5hs0ohs1ki

If you were thinking of preordering “Hoping for Happiness” (releases Thursday) maybe these kind words from @leoncecrump, @scottsauls, @scarlethiltibidal, and @nancyguthrienashville will sway you. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFpwerIhyb2/?igshid=1lamxakv4kguj

One week from today “Hoping for Happiness” releases. I wrote for all of you trying to figure out what happiness means, how to find it, how to keep it, and what is right to expect of this life. I dedicated to @immanuelnash because of how they have walked me into the true answers I needed to these questions. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFhZK-uhUSj/?igshid=1xrwl8mqwaf9f

His and hers cooking efforts at the Piper house this evening. And a good time was had by all. (at Gallatin, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFVpAoiBpWk/?igshid=53bahlkualvu

It might not be their *best* life now, but it’s pretty good. (at Gallatin, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFVG902h8-B/?igshid=1n9l4zh7m55db

Great time this morning with our @immanuelnash family for a drive-in communion service. It’s been a looooong time since we could gather like that. And the AM radio vibes were very Billy Graham meets FDR. (at Immanuel Nashville) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFU16eGBLri/?igshid=47ze24nqlq7v

@randyalcorn_epm was so kind to write the foreword for “Hoping for Happiness”. He’s someone who has suffered, persevered, and is a genuinely happy Christian. I so appreciate his words - you can read some here and the full foreword at the link in my bio. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFMwoBvBfIr/?igshid=1mwh5co7b8sqr

You couldn’t tell by their faces, but they really do live good lives. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFDnjM-BQnW/?igshid=11s3n7vxanp1y

Sam Storms was my favorite college professor at @wheatoncollegeil. I took every class he offered, including a couple that weren’t required (the only unrequited work I did in college). I’m so grateful for his kind endorsement of my book, Hoping for Happiness. https://www.instagram.com/p/CE9G7_jBfOb/?igshid=14jbx2pwo5s7r

Lots goin on here. Very festive. A bit neurotic. (at Hendersonville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE5WJ-Khl9g/?igshid=1h3jd7mgw7d7q
