The Kindness of Jesus with Lisa Harper -...

THAT SOUNDS FUN NETWORK
About this episode

I know y’all love my dear friend, Lisa Harper, and CAN YOU BELIEVE she hasn’t been on the show since 2017?! Y’all. We were clearly long overdue to catch up over microphones and talk about my favorite subject. Jesus. What are some of the characteristics of Jesus? Can we love our Bibles TOO much? And does God really call us to contentment? Lisa's newest devotional: Jesus: A Scandously Devoted, Conspicuously Uncool, Super Transparent Homage to Who Our Savior Is and How Much He Loves Us is beautiful and so inspiring! Did I mention that it would be the perfect gift for someone this Christmas? I'm just saying.
