Yay, you're here. I'm Lisa Whittle, and welcome to Jesus Over Everything, affectionately known as Joe, a short practical podcast where we will not be perfect, we will be honest, and we will talk a lot about Jesus along the way. Well, it's the first day of our Joe Shopping Fast series.

first. The book, Jesus over everything that I wrote is all about that priority order that works for

our life to help uncomplicated. And I think a whole lot of us have had our eyes open recently to the

ways our life has become complicated because maybe he hasn't been in that spot. And now's the time

to change it. Today we're going to talk about what often happens first in the process of

reordering. Because anytime you go through a process of breaking from any habit, a fast of any
