251: Janna Thompson and Spiritual Sassy Pants Halfway There

Janna Thompson is the creator behind Project Shine. Today, Janna shares some surprising moments when the Lord has spoken and worked in her life. Janna shares how the Lord met her when contemplating suicide, protected her during a horrific car crash, and provided for her needs. She also lets us into her prayer closet where we glimpse the intimate nature of her relationship with him. Sometimes that involves putting on her “sassy pants” and asking God some tough questions.

Great quotes from Janna:
Being a parent is my greatest adventure.
Good, bad, or ugly, no matter what you describe about the spiritual realm, it sounds scary.
His pursuit of me was greater than my ability to misunderstand him.
Prayer was never meant to be a monologue.
Never fall for the trap that God has rejected you.
