Writers Chat, hosted by Johnnie Alexander, and Brandy Brow, and Melissa Stroh is the show where we talk about all things writing, by writers and for writers!

“Because talking about writing is more fun than actually doing it.”

In the Midst of the Journey with Jo Massero

Jo shares her writer’s journey with her life experiences and the different seasons in which she and her husband have served God’s purposes for their lives. Her deeply personal and vulnerable testimony encourages us to “remove our masks” so that our own weaknesses can be turned into strengths for God’s glory.
