Ever feel a little lost? Feel like you aren't needed or wanted by anyone? The holidays can be a lonely season. I'm kicking off a month of very simple five-word holiday prayers on the Jesus Over Everything show, ones that I hope will bring you some peace, strength, and yes, hope to. I'm your host, Lisa Whittle, and if you're new here,

Have you heard the news? I have just opened up spaces in my launch team for my next book releasing in April, and I want you to be a part. If you want to be a part of it, head to the

link in the show notes and sign up to be on the team. The first 500 to sign up,

get a signed book plate, a signed sticker by me to put it in the front of your book, making
