Who here needs rest? You're bone tired and can hardly think? Who here needs joy? Your life is nothing but trial and turmoil and hurt and shame, with no end in sight.
In this episode, we're diving into the important topic of rest and joy. It's no secret that life can be exhausting and overwhelming at times, leaving us feeling bone tired and unable to even think clearly. And when we're faced with constant trials, tur...
In this episode, we explore three important topics that can have a profound impact on our emotional and spiritual wellbeing:

He created you for a reason, a purpose, a life that only you can live God’s plan for all ...
In this episode, we explore anger and whether it is sin. Is anger inherently sinful, or is it simply a natural emotion that we all experience?
We delve into the question of what we can do about our anger when it arises. How can we manage our emotions in a healthy and constructive way, rather than letting them control us and potentially leading to harmful behavior?
I hope to provide listeners with a greater understanding of an...
We hear a lot about safe spaces today, places where nothing is going to trigger us or make us feel sad, bad, or scared. We can count on our school or workplace to provide that safe space for us or we can find and develop our own.
Today we're talking about our true safe space, the refuge from all the chaos of life that we can't handle. We're going to sing and dance as we learn of God's goodness.
But as for me, I will si...

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Proverbs 3:7
Looking at the scripture and applying it to real life helps us walk as Christians in the world.
Today, we're talking about not being overly impressed with our own thoughts and wisdom and instead choosing to follow God's wisdom to recognize and turn away from evil. You can't do it on your own!

What is contentment? What effect should our circumstances have on our contentment? What comparison does to our contentment.
You can step away from your disappointed discontent into peaceful joy and satisfaction without feeling like you’re losing out. You’re not losing out. You’re trading what’s okay for what’s amazing.

We All Judge. We all Feel Judged.
- We all want the people we see to be like God
- They are not God. They can't be Him.
- We are not God. We can't be Him.
- We, and the people around us are fallible humans, prone to say stupid, hurtful things. Still we expect them (and us) to say the right things at the right time for the right reasons. But even that is subjective. “Right” according to whom?

Looking back at how Louise and Elaina of the Grandma, Mom, and Me Saga prepared for Christmas compared to what we do today. Better? Worse? Different.
The times were hard. Money was tight. Gifts were few. And yet those were some of the happiest Christmases ever. Why is that?
Christmas is not about what other people say you should be and do. We will enjoy it more, have less anxiety about, and feel less stress when we become intention...
Truth about anger:
1. Anger is not sin. It’s what we let it do to us that is.
2. Anger destroys us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

4. You can start today. I can help.
Scriptural ways to deal with anger:
Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir it up.
Colossians 3:8 …put them all aside, anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your...
