JJ Life On Purpose: Choosing joy in the story you're livingS2E9 Alec and Taylor Keating "Joy in the Mourning"In this final episode, Taylor talks about her experience of losing her Nana. She asked for a peace from God and prayed for guidance and this is what He gave her: the scripture “Weeping may remain for the night, but joy comes in the morning”. She said she saw the words “joy in the morning” spelled out on a whiteboard, and then right under it was “joy in the mourning” and she felt like God was telling her the difference in the two spellings was the letter “U”. This was the sign she needed…that she needed to put God in the middle of...

JJ Life On Purpose: Choosing joy in the story you're livingParasite in Paradise - Part 2The culture we live in is (what Brian and Jo call) "a broken mindset" of "all guys do it" and "if you've got it, flaunt it." Desperate to be free, Brian tried everything he could think of. Jo, wanting to honor her husband, kept quiet and slowly suffocated in silence. Until they both discovered, keeping quiet was the way the enemy was winning and the first step to healing was to talk about it.
Addiction is real and needs to be addressed by the Church. Per James 5:16 "Confess your sins one to another and pray for each...
2023-11-2232 minJJ Life On Purpose: Choosing joy in the story you're livingParasite in Paradise - Part 1If 50% of the population struggles with some sort of addiction, why aren't we talking about it more? Why is the Church silent for the most part about it. Sharing any struggle is hard, especially if you have kept it well hidden on the inside. You may feel, as Brian did, afraid of being rejected and judged. Baring your soul and shining the light of God into your heart is the exact opposite of what the enemy, Satan, wants. Satan wants you to keep those secrets because there is freedom in 1. acknowledging there is a problem and 2. sharing and having...

JJ Life On Purpose: Choosing joy in the story you're livingS1E17 Brandon Newman: It's a Small WorldIt'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!!

There is way more to Barb "Crash" than meets the eye (no pun, Jerry).

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.

Behind the smile is a story that all women can relate to...am I good enough, pretty enough, smart enough...
Roni said, about this episode, "I felt a kindred spirit and a connection that made me want to be bold and talk about some of the things that aren't beautiful, graceful or anything even close to what we, as women, strive to be at all times."

My special guest is a writer, producer, movie production company owner, and my God sent husband, Jerry. But before he was any of that, when he was "just" my husband, he was in a dead-end job (literally), where his talent and spirit was wasting away. In the midst of hurricane Laura, God flipped our lives upside down. What started out as a terrifying medical event, turned into the biggest blessing we could have ever imagined. Hear his...
