Today's interview is very special. Lisa recorded this interview with author Colleen Chao in May of this year, knowing that Colleen had stage 4 terminal cancer. Colleen's book released in October, In the Hands of a Fiercely Tender God: 31 Days of Hope, Honesty, and Encouragement for the Sufferer. Colleen wrote this book for the sufferer who wants to trust Jesus in the midst of their deep pain, grief, or loss—but who needs practical wisdom, rich truth, and encouragement to do so.

Today's show topic is tender for many. In the forgotten ways to serve God, the ministry and service to our parents and grandparents is often over-looked because it often feels burdensome and taxing. Jesus is asking us to be His hands and feet in serving our parents and grandparents in the latter stages of their lives. This show will inspire you.

As Lisa continues her series on forgotten ways to serve God, she welcomes her friend, Cheryl Luke to the show today. Cheryl served the local church for 30 years and recently started the non-profit The Mosaic Life. Listen in as Lisa and Cheryl remember their trip to the border, talk about church hurt vs. abuse and how celebrate recovery changed Cheryl's life.

Lisa is taking us way back today to discuss ministry that is right under your nose in the everyday, as she continues to discuss the forgotten ways we can serve God this month on JOE. The local church is one of the greatest impact we can have when serving the kingdom of God.

Lisa welcomes a family friend, Mark Roye to the show today. Mark has served the city of San Antonio, TX for over 20 years as the founding director of Somebody Cares San Antonio, and BloodnFire San Antonio. He has traveled the world, as well as arrives on scenes after natural disasters to serve the community in need.

Bagels and being weird? You'll love this show and this topic - the forgotten way to serve God in your neighborhood and community. Lisa shares tangible ideas for how you can love and serve the kingdom of God to your neighbors in your community.
