Hey, I'm Lisa Whittle and welcome to the Jesus Over Everything show, affectionately known as Joe.

We're 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.

Well, I truly can't believe this day is here.

I have done a lot of shows for Jesus over everything.

All of them have meant a great deal to me.

But if anyone ever asked me who I wanted to talk to on this show,

who a bucket list guest would be.

I always only said one person, Johnny, Erickson, Tata.

And today, I sit down and talk with her.

You'll hear in my voice the joy, honor, and wonder, I feel, and talking with someone

who is not only a hero in the faith of mine and many of ours, but also someone who personally

marked my life as a teenager. I talk about exactly why that is the impact of her book, Johnny,

which is re-releasing after 45 years, what she's learned about

suffering after becoming a quadriplegic living in a wheelchair her whole life and battling cancer

twice, as well as living with chronic pain now at 72 years old.

We talk about hope and how the church can serve the disabled community better moving

forward. And Johnny gives us some insight in this show. She says she never talks about an interview.

It is so very special. This show, friend, is one you will likely never forget. I know I never will. Johnny, you remain one of the

greatest gifts Jesus has ever given me in this season of my ministry as in my life. Thank you.

Well, this is a pretty important and slightly emotional day for me, honestly, because I've done almost 700 shows with Joe, the Jesus Over Everything show.

And there is only one person when people have said, who would you love to talk to? I've talked to a lot of people. And they've said, who would you want to talk to? One person that I've really wanted to talk to. And I'm talking to her right now. Johnny, that is you. Well, Lisa, I'm honored and blessed. And of course, a special greeting to all your followers, your listeners. Let's hope that this time together will not only bless us, but bless them.
