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 just a few minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be time well spent.

So let's talk about this, struggling to remember what is true in today's loud and opinionated culture.

It's hard, isn't it? With all the messages we're sent, influencer voices, and people claiming
