JJ Life On Purpose: Choosing joy in the story you're living

This episode is a look back and a walk down memory lane. Nineteen episodes have flown by and I feel like I've been in therapy. God has used all these testimonies to change my life, and I hope you've allowed Him to do the same to you. Next week starts a brand new season. Let's keep growing and planting seen On Purpose!!

Carly is the strongest woman I know. The road God has chosen for her to walk, I can't imagine. The power of her testimony is awe inspiring, healing, and comforting. She has such grace in her hardest joy.

It's a small world after all. More and more, I am finding that. A teacher who inspires a writer who writes a script that then ends up in the hands of a studio head who meets the teacher and makes her the casting director and star of his second movie. Brandon was right in the thick of all of that. It was so much fun sitting down with him and hearing his life and how he does life on purpose.

And by the way...the Red Carpet Premiere WAS hot as blazes and tons of fun!!

When you try to talk about her accolades, she turns them around pins them on the people around her. Truly one of the sweetest, most humble person I know. Crazy funny as well. We will have to sit down with Barb and have another conversation when she is ready. There is way more to Barb "Crash" than meets the eye (no pun, Jerry).

Even though I talked WAY too much in this episode, please listen and give me grace because what Joseph has to say is worth listening to. Part of the Caudill family band and part of the worship team at his dad's church, Joseph is talented beyond his years. This was a fun episode to do and I hope that comes through.

With a smile as bright at the moon, Anthony draws you in, like a familiar coat, or a warm hug, you feel safe with him. Like he's your big brother (or in my case), a much, much younger brother. He's so comfortable, and comforting, to be around. His infectious personality is a rare find these days. Whether he's a mentor to youth on the college campus or playing the role of a best friend on the big screen, Anthony is relatable and likable. You're going to enjoy getting to know him (if you don't already), and I'll bet you'll find yourself smiling a little more today. "Let's Do It"!

Josmery is a powerful woman of God that is passionate about life and it's UP's and DOWN's. You will be captivated by her enthusiasm for all of the titles she wears, but listen to this young mom talk about what she is most passionate about and protective over. She has some nuggets of wisdom for all of us, even if we are in different stages of our life, that you are not going to want to miss. Her smile and laughter is contagious and you can feel her zeal and love for life, family, and God all shine through on this podcast. This one is a DO NOT miss episode.

Roni Stephenson-Gillespie is always smiling. She is cheerful and confident. Or is she? Behind the smile is a story that all women can relate to...am I good enough, pretty enough, smart enough...

We had so much fun sitting down the last time and we had so much to talk about that we continued for another session. Join us for Round 2 of sitting around the tables at the Hard Bean talking with my framily some more. So much fun!!! Just in time to finish with excitement for the Red Carpet Premiere at the Jefferson.
