The Sounds of Christmas with Lisa Troyer and Jillian Blair

Sounds of Christmas Martha Mary Show Lisa Troyer Jillian Blair A Very Bavarian Christmas music

We are continuing the Holiday Series, from now until the end of the year, on the Martha + Mary Show podcast. I excited for you to meet mother and daughter team, Lisa and Jillian and hear their surprise connection with A Very Bavarian Christmas.

We are grateful for each review of the podcast. Here is a 5-star review from Amy Elaine:

I laughed and listened to these two as they shared some fun differences and their heart for God’s people! There’s freedom in this Martha & Mary Podcast to be who you were made to be and celebrate how we’re wired differently, yet the same! Fun and lighthearted, with truth and tenderness!”
