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. 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

like art and picturing yourself in the biblical moment, journaling, praying

scripture. 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 the show notes. Well, I told my guest

today, therapist and author of the new book, What If It's Wonderful, Nicole Zissowski, that she wrote this book for me.

I struggle to celebrate, and maybe you do too.

We talk all about that, and I even get tough and very honest about why delight isn't enough of a sales pitch to me to want to go through disappointment.

True story.

We talk about Survivor's guilt and also parenting struggles as well.

Nothing is off the table with this dear counselor friend.

I guarantee you need this show.

So here we go today on Joe with my friend, Nicole.

Thank you. Here we go today on Joe with my friend, Nicole. So excited to have you on today, Nicole, for I think multiple reasons.

First of all, I'm kind of jealous about where you live.

Oh, really? Yeah, I actually am. Are you surprised to hear that? I don't hear that often,
