Happy Hour #68 is with Jami Nato. Jami and her husband live in Kansas City where they are raising four kids, and still celebrating the Royals winning the World Series. Jami blogs, speaks and is in the process of writing a book that you're definitely going to want to get your hands on.

On the show, we discuss a marital affair that rocked her world seven years ago. Jami's perspective on suffering and how God loved her, changed her and challenged her through the experience is so beautiful. And her love for Jesus and the gospel is so powerful and shines bright in our conversation.  A highlight that I haven't been able to stop thinking about since we talked is the claim that through her suffering, her reward was not a reconciled marriage, but it was getting more of Jesus. I hope her experience and perspective will encourage and persevere your heart, like it did mine.

Of course we chatted about the Kansas City Royals and we even discusses Texan arrogance and how we tend to forget that there are other states out there, besides the Lone Star. At the end of our show, Jami shares a precious Christmas tradition for their family that is just another reminder of how much God has done in their sweet family over the years.

MAD Marketplace

MAD Marketplace Logo_16642115

The vision of MAD Marketplace is so simple – to create a global consumer movement that matters. They are not just words. They want the difference they make to be global.  They want consumers to know of ways to be good stewards when they shop.  If we all shop with the hope to make a difference, our spending creates a movement and that matters!

MAD Marketplace just launched an online retail store on November 1st!

Who says shopping and making a difference don’t go together?

There are clearly more problems around us than there are solutions. Most of them are quite daunting…poverty, hunger, human trafficking, orphan care, clean water projects, barriers to employment, and so many more. As consumers, we can choose to buy differently and be a part of the solution.

The mission of MAD Marketplace is to tell stories, sell products and help people.

As consumers, we are always shopping and we do much of it online. MAD Marketplace wants to cater to online shoppers by creating a shopping experience that provides a wide variety of unique and practical products, tell the incredible stories behind each of them, and provide a simple way for everyone to help others.

MAD Marketplace’s products give back in different ways. Some examples include buy one give one, proceeds that participate in micro-lending, sustainable living wages, empowering women, meal for meal, drop for drop, and restoring hearing. No matter what you buy, every purchase has a purpose!

MAD Marketplace offers the consumer a different way to shop, a different reason to buy, and more than one way to help. Customers may choose products that vary from peanut butter, baby blankets, coffee, lamps, statement jewelry, and rain boots, to name just a few.
