Let Jana Tell It

It’s been said that Jana L. Henry always has a story to tell, so join her for weekly story time as she invites you along to her adventures in love, times she couldn’t laugh in the moment but can laugh now and even the times she’ll admit she may have been dramatic. In each episode she shares about her life mostly, and maybe a few stories from other people’s lives, that are too good not to tell. Let Jana Tell It is a fun look at life’s journey, the missteps, the victories, and the utterly ridiculous.

One for the godparents, One for the youth trip, and One for the actual Gospel, for serious this time.

My auntie and uncle were not catholic so I don’t know how they got involved in the first one. Is hunting for me my love language? I actually do know the Lord in case you wonder after listening to this last episode of Season 2, I just absolutely play too much.
