The InnerviewThe Inner View is a refreshing forum that gives voice to Christian women; their joys, struggles, fears and victories.

Through heart searching personal reflection and scripture based principles the Inner View sisters Carolyn, Michele, Kate and Karen invites all to join the sisterhood each THURSDAY at 3PM on JOY1250 as we take a remarkable journey filled with compassion, empathy and lots of humor into the heart of “Daddy’s” love.

Karen Warren
Karen Warren began her professional career as a journalist and copywriter. Today she continues to use her gift of writing and teaching to build-up women in the Lord.  Her strong belief in the gift of God that is WOMAN was the catalyst to her developing “Sister Speaks,” in 1994, a dynamic and innovative ministry that focuses on a woman’s mind, body and spirit, affirming the truth that God wants to develop her whole person. As women   we wonder at one time or another who we are and why we’re here as society continues to define us by our beauty, wealth and success.  “Sister Speaks” celebrates the truth that we are MORE; We are create  by God in His image, and our fulfillment and true identity can only be found in pursuing Him with passionate abandonment. The Inner View, a radio forum heard on Joy 1250 on Thursdays at 3pm is Karen’s latest reflection of her Father’s heart. The program gives voice to the Christian woman’s journey; their joys, struggles, fears and victories.

   Karen leads a busy ministry life walking beside her husband of 19 years Rev. Brian Warren, and home schooling their daughter, Gabrielle Monique.  Together, Brian and Karen have pioneered the largest internet prayer community in Canada, and co-founded KidsFest Canada, an organization which utilizes education to break the vicious cycle of generational poverty. When she is not in service herself one of her greatest joys is to be her husband’s cheerleader and intercessor.

Karen’s relationship with Jesus is as natural as breathing.  She is an ordinary person who has discovered her “Daddy’s” extra-ordinary secret – He loves ME.  Simple, but revolutionary!

Michele Forgione
Michele Forgione is the wife of Mario and mother of 5 children- 3 girls 19, 10 and 8, and two boys 14 & 16. She has a business background in marketing and human resources; however 16 years ago she chose to embark fulltime on the wonderful career of raising her family and giving back to the community. She currently sits on the board of KidsFest Canada, a national organization committed to breaking the cycle of child poverty in Canada and most recently has also turned her sites internationally by helping orphans in the Philippines. Michele and her husband are true heroes to thousands of children both here in Canada and abroad as together they have used their influence to make a difference.    
 
Michele became a Christian about 12 years ago and has been growing more and more in love with Jesus ever since. She is often quoted as saying, “I am an incurable addict. I’m addicted to the words of Jesus and to knowing my savior more intimately each and every day.” She is a prayer warrior, teacher and a mentor to women of all ages. Her sincere hope and prayer is that Almighty God will empower women to be a catalyst of transformation within their sphere of influence. The “inner view” is simply an extension of Michele’s living room as over the years her husband has affectionately dubbed her, "the woman talker".
