Amanda Jones joins me for The Happy Hour #159. Amanda is a Jesus-loving gal from Texas, married to a preacher boy from Missouri. She’s the daughter of Beth Moore and mom to three kids. Amanda first joined me for episode #66. If you missed that, you could catch up here.
She’s back today to catch up and talk about Hurricane Harvey and the devastation it caused in Houston. Amanda and her husband help to lead Bayou City Fellowship, a church that has been hugely instrumental in disaster relief in the areas affected. She shares their most pressing needs and how you can be a part.
Amanda also shares briefly about her struggle with depression – shedding light on a topic that can be so taboo, especially in the church.
My hope for today’s show is that you feel encouraged to do what you can, wherever you are, to serve the people devastated by Hurricane Harvey. Whether that means getting on a plane to serve on a demolition crew or by sending money and supplies, please consider how you can help today.

Hi Jamie!
I am a 57 year old woman from Orange County, California. I am a lover of Jesus, a wife, a mother of 3, and an avid reader. I love you podcast! My 25 year old daughter, who is in grad school in Denver Colorado, started listening to your podcast months ago and recommended it to me. We both absolutely love listening to you and all your friends (and that wonderful husband of yours). There is something in all of your podcasts that speaks to both of us. What a great podcast that can speak to women (and men) of all ages. We are listening to your past podcasts but we both listen to your current one every week so we can chat about it and because it is often something important to current events.
I really was able to relate to Lisa Whittle and Beth Moore as they spoke about how wonderful it is when your children become your best friends! We both love all the book recommendations and “what your are loving now”. You and your guests are all such amazing spiritual women whose love for Jesus and family shines through in all you say and do. You are an inspiration to both of us and we appreciate your candidness and honesty especially when speaking of some sensitive subjects. We admire how you are never judgmental but really show respect to everyone and their journeys. We can learn from each other. There is always something that jumps out at me and stays with me through the week. I love what you said this week, “No one determines my value but God” and “Choose to love, obey, and commit”. You have found a great mission Jamie and are touching many lives! Please keep the podcasts coming!
Blessing and prayers,
Suzie
