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

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

and I welcome you to the Joe Interview Show with me, which I trust and pray will be time well spent.

If you like Straight Up Bible and you are also sort of tired of status quo Christianity

and long to sort of rethink even the word Christian, today's show is for you. I'm excited to

welcome Vibrant Wise C.O.O. of Messenger International and author of New Book Saints, Addison

Bevere to the Jesus Over Everything show.

If you recognize the name Bevere, it's because he is part of the powerful ministry legacy

family of his parents, John and Lisa Bevere, someone I have long loved and looked up to as a

mentor in the faith myself.

Addison and I have an intriguing conversation that goes far beyond helping me understand

the importance of the word saint itself, but really the full picture of what we as believers

need to understand and be in this moment in culture.

So huge.

His book is captivating.

He's included art and poetry in the pages. It's really a one-of-a-kind

book in many ways. And I loved talking to Addison about lots of things, including parenting

four kids. This man is busy, by the way, and his own coming to faith, despite being raised in

the church. That's a conversation you won't want to miss. Listen now

as we dive in. Addison, I am excited to have you on here today. Your mom is, she's a friend and, man,

someone I have admired in the faith for so long.

Lisa Bevere, she is amazing.
