Join Dr. Cynthia Libert and Brooke Jack on The Joy Prescription Podcast - A weekly podcast about transforming your health with lifestyle medicine and biblical wisdom. This week Brooke encourages transformation through partnership with the Holy Spirit.

---------------------------------------------------

" ...let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes."

Ephesians 4:23, New Living Translation

It can be hard to let go of or change things that we have become accustomed to, such as routines, habits, thought patterns, and responses. However, there always comes a time when change must occur for the betterment of our physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and relational health.

The good news is God provided us with the ultimate change agent, Holy Spirit, who also serves as our Counselor and Strengthener! Full of gentleness, truth, and love, the Holy Spirit helps us transform more and more into the likeness of Christ, whereby our lives display His character, lifestyle, attitudes, and JOY! Our job? Let Him do it!

What thoughts or attitudes do you need the Spirit's help to let go of so that you can receive new, God-fashioned ones? Holy Spirit is ready and willing to help you! Invite Him to lead you into transformation from the inside out. Give Him your "yes," and He will do tremendous work on your behalf!

We’d love to hear from you! You can ask us questions about anything health and/or spirituality related, and we’ll do our best to answer you on the podcast. Send your questions to us via email to [email protected] or by calling our question line at 828-412-0599.

Someone is Fighting for You

Welcome! Brooke Jack here with today’s Joy Prescription Devotional to help you focus your heart on Jesus and His Truth. Exodus 14:14 says,

"The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still."

Did you know that the Lord is for you? Did you know that He desires to bring rescue and champion you into victory - not just once or twice, but continually?

When you stand still and hold your peace in confident assurance that the Lord is FOR YOU, even in the midst of the most menacing storm, the power of faith is released! Stillness rests in knowing that God is God and that His ability far exceeds your ability.

I encourage you to be still….rest in Him… and allow God to do extraordinary things on your behalf! Remember, He is for you!

Elevate Your Perspective

Hello - this is Brooke Jack with today’s Joy Prescription Devotional to help you focus your heart on Jesus and His Truth.  Today’s scripture comes from Psalm 74, verses 13 & 16-17. 

"Did I keep my heart pure for nothing?  Did I keep myself innocent for no reason?...So I tried to understand why the wicked prosper. But what a difficult task it is!  Then I went into your sanctuary, O God, and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked."

- Psalm 74:13;16-17, New Living Translation

Have you ever wondered why things were going so right for others when things in your own life seemed to be going so wrong? You are not alone. The psalmist battled doubt and uncertainty as he saw the enemies of God prospering. But once he went into the sanctuary of God, and gained a higher, more holy and eternal perspective, envy and bitterness no longer gnawed at his heart.

If you are battling jealousy, bitterness, or disappointment in your life, I encourage you to elevate your perspective!  Humbly posture yourself in the presence of God and receive His counsel. I am confident you will come away encouraged that the Lord is securely holding you, leading you into a beautiful destiny.

Look up!

Hello - this is Brooke Jack with today’s Joy Prescription Devotional, which is a prayer inspired by the heart posture revealed in Psalm 5:3. 

Psalm 5:3 in the NKJV reads:

My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;

In the morning I will direct it to You,

And I will look up.

Every morning is a new day and a new opportunity to pour out your heart before God. It is a time to rekindle your passion, revel in His goodness, and recall with great expectation His immeasurable power and authority!

• I pray that as you look up, you will remember that you are positioned with Christ in heavenly places.
• I pray that as you cast your eyes upon the King of Kings, you will be captivated by His goodness and beauty.
• I pray that as you lift your eyes to Heaven, you will hear the melodies of joyful songs the Father sings over you.
• I pray that as you look up, all fear and reservation will be quieted in HIs love.
• I pray that as you gaze Heavenward, you will experience healing, freedom, renewal, and courage.
• I pray that as you lift your eyes higher, you will be granted creative ideas, solutions, wisdom, and extraordinary insight.
• I pray that as you look up, every part of your being will be consumed with a passionate love for the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Joy Prescription Podcast - Hit the Rest Button on Stress - Yahweh Breathing

Join Dr. Cynthia Libert and Brooke Jack on The Joy Prescription Podcast - A weekly podcast about transforming your health with lifestyle medicine and biblical wisdom. This week Dr. Libert shares some powerful wisdom on how to reset the nervous system with a simple practice you can start today.

We know that almost all illnesses are stress-related. That is, all illness is either caused by stress or aggravated by stress. And, of course, being sick causes stress!

Stress is linked to the leading causes of deaths: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis, and suicide

Stress is the #1 reason why people… 

• Eat poorly 
• Abuse drugs and alcohol
• Quit healthy lifestyle programs

Chronic exposure to stressors excites the sympathetic nervous system, putting the entire body on the alert.

So, what do we do about it?  

One simple answer comes from a dear, wise 88-year old woman in my medical practice...

Tune into this week's podcast to learn her advice.
