Hey, I'm Lisa Whittle and welcome to the Jesus Over Everything show, affectionately known as Joe, where around here you will always hear honest conversations about life, faith, and true strength, courage, and love in the midst of our real everyday life.

Quickly, something exciting I want to tell you about,

especially if you struggle to be fully present in your devotions and reading the Word of God.

You know I'm all about the Word of God, and I love to bring you any and every tool to help

you get into it, which is why I've partnered with a new resource called the Abide Bible.

Too often we open our Bibles only to feel distracted,

confused, or overwhelmed if we're opening our Bibles at all. The Abide Bible is designed to help you

truly connect with God's Word by giving you guided practices to experience, understand, and apply

scripture in powerful ways. Whether it's journaling or praying scripture, contemplating a theme or promise, engaging

with God through art, or picturing yourself in the biblical moment, the Abide Bible invites

you to experience what it means to abide in Christ.

Check out the Abide Bible at start abide.com, and of course, it's in our show notes.

Now up today. This woman, this book,

this message. Get ready, Joe listeners, New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and my dear friend, Ann Voskamp, is here on Joe for the very first time. If you think you know her, you're about to know more in her new book, Waymaker,

a stunning and raw offering about the love we always wanted with the one who makes the way.

We talk about disappointment, obstacles, and belief on this show, the very personal grief

of losing her dad, and all the

ways that Jesus has met her.

It is a beautiful conversation with a beautiful friend.

Listen now to My Time on Joe with the wonderful Ann Voskamp.

Okay, friend, well, this feels like a long time coming to have you on Jesus over everything and have this conversation with you. It does. I hold you in the highest esteem, Lisa Whittle, and it is a honor and a grace to get to sit with you and talk about our most favorite heart and love in the whole world Jesus himself.

Well, I was going to tell you, I love you, I appreciate you, I am grateful for you.
