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.

If you are just joining us, we're in week four of our six weeks to a permanent priority shift.

Whatever the reason is that you've come, please know this. God can give you the strength to finish

well. Whatever it is you need to finish well in your life. Maybe you need strength to finish this six

weeks well. He's got strength for you for that. Maybe it's strength to make it through a really hard time

in your marriage or with a particularly difficult time with a child or in a job search or whatever it is.
