Hi, and welcome to Jesus Over Everything, a short practical podcast that mixes encouragement,

the Bible, how-chews, and fantastic interviews for the listener on the go. I'm Lisa Whittle,

and I welcome you to the Joe Bonus Show with me, which I trust and pray will be time well-spin.

Yep, you heard me right. This is Joe Bonus Show Day. Extra fun day for me today, friends. We don't do this very often

put on bonus shows, but today calls for a special occasion on the show. As you know, I have a heart

for helping women use their gifts for the glory of God, and I especially have a heart for my sister

tribe of women who feel a call to write or speak or both. I can't tell you how many times I get a

message or I talk to someone at an event or even get stopped in the hallway at church by someone

who wants to pick my brain about writing and speaking. And one of my great struggles is having

limited time to have conversations about it. The Jesus Over Everything show is a different

kind of show,

and we talk about spiritual growth things here, so we don't typically discuss writing and speaking

on this show. And Ministry Strong, as you might know about that, is a specialized type of heart

focus one-on-one and training. And I've been praying for an opportunity to have a venue to be

able to help more people in a different type of setting.

People even from Australia who might not be able to get here for a ministry strong training.

And I'm so excited to share with you today all about what God has laid on my heart to do next.

I've brought my dear friend, Ali Worthington in for the conversation, author, speaker,

creator of Blistam, business coach, because she's the other half of this new exciting venture

I'm getting ready to tell you about. So let's not wait another minute to get into the show.

Today, our show is dedicated to all the women who feel that nudge, that call to write or speak, or maybe even do both, hopefully do both, and more importantly, the marriage of those two things.

And what's really unique and fun about
