Today's episode is straight from the heart and filled with emotion, as we discuss caring for aging parents. This can feel like a lonely season of life, but you are seen and know and the hope with today's show is that you find some comfort, as well as community in the stage you find yourself in. Listen in as Lisa shares from her personal experience to bring hope to those listening.

Lisa is welcoming Dr. Amy Kenny to the show today. Lisa discovered Amy's book, My Body is Not A Prayer Request when doing research for her upcoming book and knew that she wanted to have a conversation with Amy after reading it. Amy Kenny is a disabled scholar and a Shakespeare Lecturer who hates Hamlet. She coordinates support for people experiencing homelessness in her neighborhood, and is a co-founder of Jubilee Homes OC, a permanent supportive housing initiative in her local community. She is a Scribe for Freedom Road Institute and believes that every human is an image-bearer worthy of belonging. This conversation will bring insight and inspiration to you today.

This month we're focusing on topics that we don't often talk about it but we should. Today's topic is about women holding other women back and the tough reality is that this is often true. Listen in today as Lisa shares wisdom that will help us navigate this very sensitive subject.

Lisa has been anticipating this conversation for a while now. She welcomes mom, pastor, speaker and author of the new book Reframe Your Shame, Irene Rollins to JOE today. Lisa and Irene talk about how tough conversations aren't happening in the church regarding addictions, especially about alcohol. Listen in today for encouragement and how God can change and reframe your shame about anything that might be holding you back.

This month we're talking about topics we don't often spend time talking about, but we should. Today, the impossible pressure from our culture regarding beauty - to look forever young. This is NOT just a show for women, since men struggle with the glory days, as well. What does Jesus say about this in scripture. Listen in today for some great wisdom on this hard, cultural hot topic.

Lisa welcomes her long time friend, author, speaker and blogger Shannan Martin to JOE today. Shannan and her family moved to what some might call "the wrong side of the tracks" a while back and that brought her to write her new book Start With Hello. Jesus left us with 2 commandments - one of them was to love our neighbor as ourselves. How can we actually do that when we don't know our neighbor. Listen in today as Lisa and Shannan discuss how to fulfill this in our world today.
