Page of Our Lives Podcast

We’re continuing our Christmas series on InstaJoy! The name for this series comes from one of our favorite Kitchen tools - the instant pot! Each week we’re unpacking a different ingredient to help prepare our hearts to receive the InstaJoy that God has for us.

One of the ways we experience God's joy is through prayer.

Prayer reminds us of God’s presence in our lives. Prayer reminds us that God cares for us and wants us to bring our concerns and worries to him. Prayer helps us release burdens that weigh us down so that our hearts can receive the joy God has for us.

At the end of today’s episode, we have a little challenge for you…a way for you to being practicing some of the InstaJoy ingredients we’ve been talking about this month. We hope you’ll take a few minutes to try it out and then let us know what you think.

We love using an instant pot to cut down cooking time and get dinner on the table faster. But when it comes to finding joy, we've learned you can't shortcut your way to experiencing it. Lasting joy takes four very specific ingredients that together add up to one joyful life in Christ.

To help prepare your heart to receive what God has for you this Christmas, we're opening up the cookbook and sharing our recipe for InstaJoy all month on the Page of Our Lives.

On today’s show, we explore how to find gratitude in a time a grief. We interview writer and teacher, Blakni Riley. After losing her infant daughter just a few days after birth, Blakni has walked through one of the most difficult journeys a person can travel. Yet through her darkest season, Blakni saw glimpses of God’s goodness at work in her life, allowing her to experience gratitude in the midst of her grief. She says recognizing these moments of thanks allowed her to heal and to find hope even in her sorrow. Thank you to Blakni for joining us on today's show.

We are excited to kick off a new month on the Page of Our Lives. All month long we will be talking about gratitude! From the impact it has on our physical bodies to the way it lowers anxiety, to hearing stories of people who are living lives through a lens of gratitude - we'll cover gratitude from all the angles.  

On today's show, we're looking at the impact gratitude has on our body, mind and spirit. It's pretty remarkable all the ways having an attitude of gratitude can positively impact you. It helps fight depression, helps you accomplish tasks, it even helps you make friends! 

We are also launching our November Gratitude Challenge! All month long we're encouraging our listeners to write down three things they're grateful for each day. We will share our lists throughout the month and we also want you to share them with us! You can message us through our Instagram or Facebook accounts @pageofourlivespodcast, or email us at [email protected].

On today’s show we wrap up our conversation on Lies We Believe with the lie: “I can’t forgive them.” When we harbor unforgiveness toward someone, it can leave us broken and bitter. On this episode, we explore why we struggle to forgive and how this lie keeps us from experiencing true freedom. Many of us struggle with this lie. But the truth is, forgiveness is possible. If you struggle to forgive others, our prayer is that today’s show helps you take a small step toward releasing the hurt and bitterness in your heart.

All month long we're talking about Lies We Believe and today’s show is about the lie "It all depends on me."

When we buy into this lie, it often leaves us gripping tight to whatever we can. We try to control outcomes and people, and keep all the plates spinning. We are left feeling overworked, overused and overlooked. 

We’re going to dig into why we believe that it all depends on us and more importantly, how do we begin to let go of the control and surrender to a God who never asked us to do it all in the first place.

We are talking about Lies We Believe all month long, and today’s show is about the lie "This will never change."

Have you ever been in a season where you felt that way? Maybe it was with a relationship, your health or your job. When it seems like things will never change, we can feel stuck, hopeless and sometimes even abandoned.

We examine why we feel like things will never change and what we do to get back to a place of believing we have a future and a hope.
