Hi, and welcome to Jesus Over Everything, a five-day-a-week variety show that mixes encouragement,

the Bible, practical how-toes, and fantastic guests for the listener on the go. I'm Lisa Whittle,

and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be five minutes well-spent.

Okay, friends, it's May. I love May, but it's also a crazy month for our family with lots of end of year school activities

and getting geared up for the summer. This May is especially nuts because we are in the great

countdown for my son graduating from high school. Oh my goodness. And I'm also writing a new book,

which I cannot wait to tell you more about, but let's just say if you love this show, the book

is literally for you. But Carrie Garcia came on the show this week,

and I'm going to tell you her resource called The Exchange is something special. I don't just say

that about everything. I really mean it. It's not a book. It is a literal life manual through

things like grief and forgiveness and honestly one of the most powerful written resources I've

ever seen. It is counseling sessions in written form, if you will. And

yes, I'll link where to get it in the show notes because trust me, you want it. But today I dove

into that exchange manual and pulled out a few questions that Carrie gives to ask in a time

of soul care. And I added two of my own. You ready? My girl Carrie is bringing the good stuff

again today. And I'm eager to share it.

So here we go. The five best soul care questions to ask. These first three from Carrie Garcia's book,

The Exchange, and then I threw a couple of it in the end.

Number one, what am I feeling?

I think this is key in getting down to what's going on with us.

A lot of us push feelings down.

We've been told they were wrong to have, and so we don't honor them.
