Go & Tell Podcast with Lauren Greci: Episode 14 with Johnna Hensley – Part One

Leave a comment

My guest for the Go & Tell Podcast with Lauren Greci Episode #14 is Johnna Hensley. Johnna is a mom to six, wife, D-Group leader, yogi and full of wisdom, experience and insights. Her faith has carried her through many obstacles and her faithfulness is just beautiful.

As she shares on her blog, she is a “wife to an energetic and giving man, Ryan. I was a lost sinner but I found hope and redemption in Jesus. My life is nothing as I expected it to be. It is much better than what I could have thought up on my own…I manage a special needs son and two “typically” developing sons, and an adopted biracial child while homeschooling them all in beautiful chaos we call our own.” In addition, Johnna has expanded her home and is fostering two siblings, which we talk about in Part Two of our chat.

In Part One of our two-part conversation, Johnna shares her faith walk, the birth of her son Hayden, and so much more! I know you are going to love Johnna and her sense of humor, wisdom and the joy she radiates.

Go & Tell Podcast with Lauren Greci: Episode 13 with Emily Honea

Leave a comment

My guest for the Go & Tell Podcast with Lauren Greci Episode #13 is Emily Honea. I found Emily while on a road trip and listened to her on another podcast – then came to find out that she lives not too far from me! We both have two young boys and I just knew we would become instant friends!

Emily is not only homeschooling her young boys, but she is also an online adjust professor of Communication Studies, podcast host of Good Things Podcast, a podcast dedicated to finding God’s goodness in life, no matter what the circumstances…which I just love!

Our conversation is one not to miss! Emily is raw and real and shares loss, grief and coping skills, and how no matter what she has encountered, God has been right there by her side, carrying her through.

She opens up and shares about her past abusive relationships (even how one pulled a gun on her), how she battled an eating disorder and has risen above all of the challenges she has faced through her relationship with God.

My guest for the Lifestyle with Lauren Podcast: Episode #8 is Kim Lukas, a mom to three children, wife to Jeremey Lukas, who is running for a seat in the local city office, and is just a Godly woman full of insight and wisdom!

I love chatting with Kim and when I say we chatted all the things, I mean we chatted ALL the things! From moving from Houston to Dallas, raising kids and the incredible birth story of one of her boys (he was born en caul! Did you know that en caul birth is also called a “veiled birth.” This rare thing of beauty happens in less than 1 in 80,000 births!). We also chatted books, scripture, life and so much more!

I hope that you feel like a friend listening in on our conversation and leave feeling refreshed and encouraged!
