In today’s post, I have a special guest, Danielle Macaulay. And I’d like to tell you a little bit about her book: Why Can’t We All Just Get Along?

This is a book for women about how they can learn to get along with almost anyone.

Yes, even her.

Have you ever wondered “Why does this girl hate me?” or even “Why do I hate her?” Danielle has answers and shares actionable solutions for you. Not because she’s perfect… In fact, you’re going to find out fast she has been both “the hater” and “the hated.” She’ll share real and very raw stories of girls hating her without knowing her, and at other times, how she, herself, was so jealous of another woman that she cheered for her to fail!

Danielle is not proud of this. But, it forced her to dig into the Bible and find some great help that she’s passing on to you. And she knows this will change your life because it has changed hers! That girl she used to hate with her whole heart? Is now her BEST FRIEND! There has been healing, forgiveness, and complete transformation.

This can be the case for you as well.

Get ready to get very real and laugh along the way, as Danielle exposes her heart and gives practical advice for conquering these relationship-busting problems we all know all too well.

Yes, she’s going there!

Have you ever asked yourself: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

“Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad?”

Well so did David. Which he followed by, “I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again!” Psalms 42:11 NLT⠀

He was a man after God’s own heart.

He wrote SONGS OF REJOICING, yet he fought depression.

The man who took down the biggest giant in history, battled the giant of mental health.

Today you are going to meet a man after God’s own heart, Pastor Jeremey Nippard. He’s the Formission Director with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Newfoundland.  and is now speaking out about his own battle with mental health. He’s challenging us ALL to EMBRACE THE NEED, and help take down the biggest giant in our society!

How can we be confident in our faith and relationship with God, if we don’t understand the Bible?

Today you’ll meet Leann Woelk. She is devoted to helping kids and adults alike understand the importance of Biblical principles. As well, how it will deepen your relationship with God so that you CAN walk out your faith in confidence.

When talking with Leann, she shows us how we can better listen to God and what He has for us if we can just spare 5 minutes of our day with Him.

Leann Woelk is a passionate leader who enjoys using everyday items to teach Biblical truths through whimsical creativity and thrifty practicality. She is a speaker, writer, Certified INCM Coach and provides training, support and care to those on the front lines of ministry as the founder of Handle with Care Ministries.

She delights in the small things in life, finding fun in the ordinary and laughing through all life’s ups and downs. Her greatest joy is hanging out with her husband of 32 years, her two sons, her daughter-in-law and 3 puppies at their home in Spruce Grove, Alberta, Canada.

In todays interview, I get to really go deep with Leann and learn about her walk with God, and how she learned to truly listen to what He’s saying to her. Not only that, but she takes us through her story of how she got into the Handle With Care Ministry, and how we can learn to listen better to what God is saying to us, and it can be as simple as taking 5 minutes.

How is your mental health? We have all fallen short of our own expectations, or the expectations of others. This internal struggle is something that unites us as human beings. Yet why do we feel the need to pretend? My next guest Sheila Stauffer, is a mental health advocate and the Executive Director at Cornerstone Counselling, She’s here today to help break the chain of stigmata and negative thought patterns that hold us back.

If you need help or are able to help break the chain of stigma, I pray that you make today, be the day that you take that first step.

I pray you feel empowered today to step out and ask for help or BE the help someone needs today.

Together we CAN break the chain of stigma!

Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old they will not depart from it. But what happens when all a child has known is abuse and trauma?

Today my guest is a parent, who was once that child. Raised in foster care, and suffered great trauma, yet despite her own upbringing, her life is the evidence, that you can overcome a traumatic past and create an amazing new future.

Sally J. King is an amazing woman, mother, and wife. She is an adult adoptee from the foster system and has a passion for foster and adoptive kids. Her goal is to change the trajectory of foster kids lives by raising awareness.

Sally states, “Foster and adoptive parents are not provided with the right tools to truly facilitate change and resilience in these kids.”

Being being a foster kid herself and knowing her own struggles, Sally has left no stone unturned in order to help her adopted foster child “Serenity” truly thrive. And in the process, was able to heal herself and understand that your start in life does not define your future.

Two important lessons  sally has discovered in her journey to healing is this;

“Lead with love” & “Forgiveness is giving up the hope of a better past.” – Sally J. King

Have you ever had a diagnosis that completely turned your world upside down? What about a family crisis? With more questions than answers, these situations can leave you struggling to find hope.

Have you ever had to battle depression, or anxiety? Or have had to battle the trauma of being emotionally, or physically abused? Do you know what it is to be treated less just because of the color of your skin? Whether it’s physical, emotional or spiritual. These battles are exhausting, and require your ALL!

My next guest has faced giants in battles that no one person ever should, but is here today to declare that the BIGGER THE GIANT THE BIGGER THE VICTORY!
