Hey guys and welcome to the Happy Half Hour. I'm your host Jamie and this is the show

that I bring you every other week. In addition to the regular happy hour that comes out on Wednesdays,

this is the Happy Half Hour where I bring a guest back that's already been here that you guys already know and love.

And today I'm bringing back Joe Saxon. Hi Joe. Hi. I'm so happy to be talking with you. You have been a guest that I've heard so many comments about.

And so I know the people are going to just eat up getting to listen to you again. So thanks for coming back again twice in one year. I love that.

Oh, it's a pleasure. I'm looking forward to it too. It's fun. Okay. So you were here episode number 83, which was in April of this past year.

And now it's Thanksgiving. Yeah. And before we jump in, I want to thank our sponsor real quick, which is Mercy Candle Company. Okay. I love candles. Do you like candles Joe?

Love candles. I love candles. I love them too.

My husband's a little concerned about my love for candles.

It's like the day and they're in different rooms. And he's like, please make sure that everyone of them goes off before you leave. Please.

That is hilarious. Okay. I do love candles too. Instead of just my husband. So that works out well for us. But I'll be laying in bed at night.

And I'll be thinking, do we blow those candles out? Because I'm just certain that the house is going to burn down. And there have been more times that I can count that I wake up in the morning and the candle is still burning.

I know it's a bad mom.

But whatever. Okay. So today, Mercy Candle Company is sponsoring this show. And I'm a super big fan of Mercy Candle Company. They were actually just on our gift guide. So if you didn't hear them there.

But these candles are not like your normal candles for a couple reasons. Number one, they're all handmade in their studio right here in the USA.

They use a custom blend of wax. It's made from US Grounds Store beans. They're free of all the nasty stuff in on their clean burning. They don't release toxins, which if you're like Joe and I who have candles burning everywhere. This is a good thing.

Yes, it's a useful thing. No toxins in the air. But some of my favorite things about them are that 50 cents from every candle is donated to fight human trafficking through a 21 and I JM two organizations. I'm huge fans of so Mercy Candle Company. Check them out. And they have a discount code happy hour, which is good to the end of the year for 20% off. Great Christmas gifts might I add right there. So there's that.

Okay, Joe. I'm so glad you're last time you were here. I just want to remind everybody I loved our show because my favorite shows that I and when I interview people are ones that actually feel like a happy hour to me.

Like it feels like I met a girlfriend for coffee or wine, whatever you want. And we went deep. And then we came up to like shallow stuff. And then we went deep. That's my favorite kind of conversation. Yeah, absolutely. Mine too. Mine too. It was so much fun.

Okay, and we did it. We covered discipleship of our kids. We covered bikinis and our body image. We covered it.

Podcasting. We covered postpartum depression. I mean, we were all over the board, which is my favorite. We just my favorite. So today is the day after Thanksgiving.

And you know, this is an interesting question. I didn't even think about this. You were not born here in America. I was not snow.
