During the holiday season, we are encouraged to celebrate at all of the parties, ceremonies, and family get-togethers we attend. But we also know that there can be a lot of fear and expectations that come with those celebrations. Author and licensed therapist Nicole Zasowski shares how we can release our fears, choose joy, and find the courage to celebrate during the holiday season, even when we come face to face with those living the lives we think we want.

Why We Love Hosting a Podcast | With Amanda Mejias, Angie Elkins, and Lynley Mandrell

On Fridays in April, we're dropping an extra episode to make sure you know about some other Lifeway podcasts that we think you would enjoy. Today, we're sharing an episode of The Glass House with Ben and Lynley Mandrell talking with Nicole Zasowski. 

Have you ever asked your spouse a simple question, like, "whats for dinner?" and all of a sudden they're making a snarky comment back to you? Have you ever found yourself responding out of irritation and frustration when your spouse or kids simply ask you a question? On today's show Nicole Zasowski describes to us what happens when we are operating in our pain cycle, how we can regulate our emotions, and why the simplest of questions can push us over the edge. 

Nicole Zasowski is a marriage and family therapist outside of New York City. She is an author of Lost to Found and What If It's Wonderful, along with being a full time mom and wife. She also has a Bible Study resource coming soon through Lifeway!

The Glass House | Learning to Regulate Emotions in Ministry with Nicole Zasowski

Kristi McLelland joins us in a special episode that features behind-the-scenes audio captured in Israel during the Luke in the Land Bible study taping. We laugh, cry, and remember together as we listen to audio clips from our time in Israel that range from funny lunch conversations with the team to the memorable Coca-Cola toast Kristi gave when we wrapped filming. Kristi shares how filming in Israel in September of 2023 greatly "marked" her since she has not been able to return to the Land since then. Don't miss this exclusive behind-the-scenes episode about the making of the Luke in the Land Bible study!

On Fridays in April, we're dropping an extra episode to make sure you know about some other Lifeway podcasts that we think you would enjoy. Today, we're sharing an episode of His Glory, Her Good, hosted by Amanda Mejias and Corinne Allen, where they talk about fighting shame with special guest "Aunt P."

Whether dealing with our own shame or helping teen girls fight shame in their lives, this is a topic that can't be avoided when leading in student ministry. In this episode with Aunt P, they talk about how to know the difference between shame and conviction from the Holy Spirit. Aunt P also shares the danger of not dealing with our own shame, as well as provides tools to help our girls recognize, talk about, and fight shame.
