44 min - 277: Transformative Thinking: Unleashing the Power of 'Yet' (Psalm 38)
In this episode, let's explore the transformative power of a single word: "yet." Focusing on emotional well-being, we'll highlight the significance of intentional thinking using examples from Psalm 38.
The key is to introduce "yet" into negative thoughts, reshaping them positively:
"I've fallen into the same temptation again; I feel so distant from God." → "Yet, I know Your grace is boundless. I can learn, grow, and find redemption."
"My body aches, O Lord, and these health issues are overwhelming." → "Yet, I trust in Your healing power. In weakness, I am held and cherished by You."
"O Lord, I thought my fellow believers would understand." → "Yet, I know Your love surrounds me. I can find a supportive community through Your love."
Drawing inspiration from biblical figures, we highlight the positive impact of "yet" on our perspective.
Benefits of aligning thinking with God's truth include stress reduction, improved mood, cognitive function, physical health, social interactions, optimism, and overall well-being.
The episode concludes with a reading of Psalm 38, emphasizing the depth of misery, the grasp at God's mercy, and the ultimate comfort found in God's presence.
As always, I continue to encourage you to recognize the power of your thoughts. By adding "yet" to your thinking, you can find joy and peace, even in challenges, promoting mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

37 min - 275: From Lies to Light: Meliza Farndell's Untangled Wisdom for Women
We live our lives based on what we believe about ourselves and what we believe God thinks about us. This all starts with our thoughts and emotions that shape our beliefs. If we aren't aware, our lives can be shaped by lies.
Meliza Farndell's passion for helping others untangle from lies comes from her own experience of being completely overwhelmed with lies she had been believing that began as a little 7-year-old girl.
At age 7, she accepted Jesus as her savior, and then shortly after, she was molested. That event became a building block for who she would become. It wasn't until many years later when she had an encounter with the Father and his love that everything changed.
For the first time in her life, she felt completely loved and accepted. This began the process of healing and getting untangled from all the lies that had shaped her life. Throughout the process, the Lord led her to write the book, Untangled.
Tune in today as we chat about overcoming lies, choosing to think, and taking back your emotions!
