Unwritten Stories Podcast: Recent Episodes
Lisa Hanash
Learning to live a life of courage and one that reflects God’s heart on this earth. We are coming together to share stories, insights, and lessons that make up our experiences that shape how we learn, grow, and transform.
In this episode we talk with our guest, and friend, Maranatha Weeks--a nurse, mother, and author of On the Plains of Nineveh, a book about her experiences as a nurse in war-torn areas. We share about how she got started as a nurse, her journey to work abroad, and finally, the transition from working abroad to her new roles as a wife and mother. She shares about how one can broaden their perspectives on the global medical spectrum as she shares about her experiences in participating with organizations that aid marginalized communities both here and abroad.

We know we don't always have a hold on life. We can have plans and sometimes they go better than expected--but how do we deal when they don't? We explore what the process is like when things don’t go as planned and touch on handling unexpected circumstances through processes, faith, and making the most of the moments that we find challenging.
Please feel free to share your experiences with us! We would love to hear.
Krystina and I (Lisa) dive into some of the encounters we have had with faces of courage. Kristyna discusses what working as a paramedic has to do with courage and humility. We explore what it looks like with conversations around empathy through examples that Brene Brown explores in her book "Daring Greatly" comparing courage to emotional exposure and risk.
In this episode, we explore the meaning of contentment, how we find it, and what we do when we don't have it.
