The Paula Faris 'Faith & Calling' Podcast

Ep 75 - Lisa Harper: Shedding Your Shame, Braving Your Fears and The Call of Adoption


Listen Later

Meet Paula’s newest best friend - and soon to be yours, too! Gifted writer, speaker and host of “Lisa Harper’s Back Porch Theology” podcast, Lisa herself, is here. Buckle up for a hilarious and heartfelt conversation that will leave you wanting more from these two AccessMore podcast sisters who enjoy pushing the envelope in the name of fun. 

 Lisa is a mix of all things awesome. She has her masters in theological studies, rides a motorcycle and is a single mama to her darling daughter, Missy. But as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, the role of “mom” was something Lisa says she ran scared from for a long time. She let the pain and shame from her past and the misguided comments of others prevent her from believing she should become a parent. Hear how Lisa learned to process through the confusion of grief to find contentment, the miraculous way Missy came into her life and why she says we need to hold our calling loosely. If you’ve ever abandoned your dreams, let someone's comments weigh on you for too long or find yourself wanting to race ahead to the ending of an unknown season, let this episode encourage you to slow your roll, remember that God’s timing can always be trusted and as Lisa puts it, He is “absolutely madly” for you.
