This episode is more of a rant but I discuss burnout, early twenties and a bit on pre graduation anxiety. These are some things that have been on my mind. My hope is to normalize these feelings to show that we aren’t alone in feeling this way. I definitely could do a whole episode on pre graduation anxiety and anxiety about transition phases in life!

In the future there is no doubt in my mind that 2020 will be labeled as pure chaos in history books. It seemed like every single month the chaos seemed to be expanding. In this episode I cover how to handle chaos. As well as point out some of the parallels that I noticed from our chaos and the chaos that followed the Good Friday. A lot of us are in a season post chaos and before an approaching revival. Even when it seems like all hope is lost and the future seems scary. Remember God can turn any situation around! Hope and light can never be defeated! New blog post https://joyfullheartt.com/?p=388

One of the biggest critiques of the church is the hypocrisy and double standards in relation to sin. It is something that people both outside and inside the church constantly bring up. It is something that I as Christian have seen far too often. We as the church need to step up and do better. This representation is not an accurate portrayal of Jesus, at all. In this episode I cover some of the double standards. As well as scripture that relates to the topic of hypocrisy. Sin is still sin. It does the damage of pushing us away from God. We as the church are called to be imitators and representatives of Jesus. Including imitating His love, mercy, selflessness, and kindness. Our world needs more love and light!

In light of the recent events I wanted to take the time to discuss and bring light to the ongoing hate of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. In this episode I touch on recent events, racial hate crimes, and racism overall. I believe that it is important to keep having these conversations about racism in our homes, with friends, and in the church. Despite how uncomfortable it may make us or others feel we cannot continue to allow racism to be the elephant in the church or society. My prayers are with all impacted by these horrific attacks. I will be attaching several links and resources below. I recommend you all read for yourself rather than solely relaying on what I say. Praying for better days.

If we have learned anything in the last year, it is that there are so many setbacks in life. Not matter how much you plan, there will always be something that acts as a barrier between us and our goals in life. But what if we didn't view every setback as a negative or bad thing in life. What if God is using this setback to prepare us for something better or greater. Often times our greatest disappointments may make way for our greatest blessings. In this episodes we talk about setbacks and what God could be showing us as He redirects our life!

Do you find yourself constantly thinking “ I wish it was Friday” or “I wish it was summer time”. We often find ourselves wishing for the future during stressful or uneventful seasons in our lives. However, this may be harmful to our walk with the Lord. We talk about the harms of devaluing the season because they don’t match our expectations. How we can learn to slow down and be more present in life

Our brains are very complex in their design yet at the same time can be very simple and straightforward. Our brains often need motivation in order to work towards rewards. But what happens when we have to work without rewards? How do we find the motivation to keep going when we don't know the outcome? The answer is through God. Through God we can find an eternal source of motivation and willpower to keep pushing. In this episode I cover why we should expect to work without rewards. People in the bible who had to work and live without instant rewards. I also share and discuss scripture that relates to the topic of working without rewards.

Beauty standards are measures or standards of what it means to be beautiful, attractive, and ideal for society. I discuss what beauty standards are, how they can cause negative impacts, and how they impact people of different races/ethnicities. I also share personal stories of dealing with beauty standards and mind blowing thoughts that God placed on my heart ! I also share some verses that cover how we should view things like beauty and outer appearance.
