Today on JOE, Lisa is continuing to talk about the forgotten ways to serve God - big obedience things that sometimes overlooked in the quest for something more notable. Today's topic is meant to challenge you as we focus on what it looks like to serve someone in going through pain.

This month Lisa is spending time talking to people that she personally knows and wanted to highlight for you. People who are serving the kingdom of God in what some might consider forgotten places. Today, she welcomes her friends, pastor's wife, speaker and Bible teacher, Lauren Alexander. Lauren has the most profound story of how God put a call on her life, even as a newlywed to follow His mandate to care for the orphaned and abandoned.
