After struggling to perform for God, Liza Hartman was struck at what it really meant that he loved her.

0:07.4

That was like water to a thirsty soul, and I've never gotten over that, and it changed me from the inside out.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss-Walgamoo, author of Choosing Gratitude, for Wednesday, September 13th, 2017.

Over the last several months, I've been listening to a really sweet story of one of the women who serves on our staff here at Revive Our Hearts and Life Action Ministries, our parent ministry.

0:46.2

And Liza Hartman, she works on the other side of the building, so I don't get to see her as often as I'd like.

0:51.8

But Liza, I've been listening to you, Sharon, just

0:55.1

some at church and in chapel here at the ministry of the story, the journey the Lord has

1:01.3

had you on. And the last time I listened to you, I said, I think our listeners would really

1:05.7

enjoy hearing from Liza. It's a beautiful story, and it's a story in process, and it's not your story. Ultimately,

1:13.4

it's the story of Christ and what he's doing in your life. So thank you for leaving your

and I really do love to tell the story, even, it's my pleasure, Nancy, and I really do

of what Jesus has done in my heart, because as he's drawn me, he's become so beautiful to me,

1:39.4

and I want other people to see that beauty. So I pray that he draws today. Well, it is beautiful when he writes

1:46.1

the story, and it's his beauty. My husband sometimes will text me, let the beauty of Jesus be seen in us,

1:51.7

which is an old gospel chorus, but it's a really precious thought. And I love seeing God do that in

1:57.5

women's lives, and I've loved watching him do it in your life. I'd like our listeners to get to know you a little better. In fact, I'd like to get to know you a little better. So tell us what it is that you do at Life Action Ministries, which is the parent ministry of Revive Our Hearts, so we get the benefit of what you do as well. Sure. I am the art director, like you said, on the life action side, which just means

2:18.6

that I oversee all the print production and the digital production, making sure that it goes

2:23.6

out in a way that's consistent with our branding and consistent with our message.
