🎙️ Episode 233: Laughing Through the Storms

Is it really possible to laugh when your life is chaos and your zipper’s down in public? (Spoiler: Yes. Yes, it is. 😂)

This week, we dive into how humor builds real resilience when life feels like a hurricane (and maybe your pants are part of the problem).

Stick with us until the very end—you’ll hear:

😹 Cat’s LOL Moments in the Middle of Mayhem
  • When her STRESS was interrupted by something unexpected and hysterical

  • The day the dog ran onto the school bus 🚍🐕

  • Why living next door to the Fraziers was a comedy goldmine

😂 Tracy’s Tales from the Trenches
  • How her mom made her laugh while yelling at her through a “toothless” grin 🦷🙃

  • A “REAL mom moment” that was… VERY EXCITING

  • The time her audience was laughing for all the wrong reasons 👖😳

💬 Listener Shoutout: Jessica writes:

“You don’t know me but I love your podcast! You two are encouraging, witty, and crack me up. You help me stress less, keep my faith strong, and find humor every day. Sometimes I laugh out loud with earbuds in—and yes, people stare, but it’s worth it!”

💡 Spiritual Inspiration

📖 James 1:2-4 — “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds…”

  • Joy is a choice, not a circumstance.

  • Trials refine us. Laughter is a way of choosing joy despite pain.

📖 Philippians 4:11-13 — “…I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances…”

  • Paul was beaten, imprisoned, and still rejoiced.

  • Joy + laughter = spiritual strength.

✅ Call to Action

This week, choose joy on purpose:

  • 📓 Keep a Joy Journal of moments that make you smile.

  • 👯‍♀️ Surround yourself with encouraging, funny believers.

  • 🙏 Pray not just for deliverance, but for a light heart.

  • And when life gets chaotic, say: “This is very exciting!” (Then laugh anyway.)

Tag us when you do—we’ll be laughing with you.
