Christian Mom up for GMA’s ‘Advice Guru’

Carla Barnhill, a Christian mom from Minnesota, could be Good Morning America’s pick

Christianity Today February 3, 2011

Earlier this week, I interviewed my friend Carla Barnhill for CT’s women’s blog (yes, I wrote for a women’s blog, so sue me!), discussing her quest to become the new “advice guru” for ABC’s Good Morning America .

Carla, whom I worked with for several years at several of our sister publications, is one of four finalists for the gig. We just learned today that GMA will announce the winner on tomorrow (Friday) morning’s show. I know who they should pick; I’d take advice from Carla any day. I’ve taken advice from her before, and I’d take it again any time. Good luck, Carla!

Feb. 4 update: ‘Good Morning America’ announced this morning that Liz Pryor, a single mother of three from California, will be their new “advice guru.” Upon hearing the news, Carla Barnhill posted this on her Facebook page: “This has been an amazing, life-altering experience for me and I don’t regret a second of it. You, my friends, have been so good to me and I am so, so grateful for you. Thank you for your endless encouragement, your votes, your comments, and your love. Now, let’s see what we can conquer next!”
