Lisa Hendey and Maria Johnson chat with longtime friends of Catholic Mom Lisa Henley Jones and Shelly Henley Kelly. Shelly and Lisa are two sisters on a journey of faith.  On their podcast, Of Sound Mind and Spirit, they discuss why faith is important and how they can live it in areas of parenting, community, mid-life, service, and marriage.  They’re not perfect, and don’t have all the answers.  But they invite you to walk with them as they explore ways to better know and grow in their faith – together.

Together with her sister Shelly, Lisa shared about her life as influenced by her faith at their website and on their podcast, Of Sound Mind and Spirit.  For fun, Lisa enjoys reading, walking, cheering on her teen daughter at soccer games and wearing the college colors of her young adult kids.

Lisa Hendey shares a conversation with Shari Rigby, the talented director behind the new Great American Pure Flix film Divine Influencer.  

Divine Influencer Synopsis: When an entitled influencer loses everything, she must humbly trust God to understand what the meaning of true influence is. Desperate, she takes a job at a homeless shelter only so she has a place to lay her head and quickly realizes the joy and purpose that comes from serving others.  

Growing up in North Dakota, Shari Rigby dreamed of being an entertainer. For Shari, success in print modeling came at a young age and quickly evolved into commercial work & film. She has been credited with eight films, and an assortment of print awards.
