Eps 47 Emily M-Grief, hope and the In-between

Hey listeners,  Thanks for coming on here to view my pod! I hope you like what you are seeing, and are curious to join by pushing play. Today's episode is with my good friend Emily, devoted mother and wife who loves Jesus and who has experienced loss and knows grief. We take a twist in this episode and the interview is on ME! Emily asks deep questions in regards to my own grief, trauma and experience. I hope you find some time with your cup of joe while your folding laundry, doing dishes or driving to listen-its lengthy, but enduring..maybe a 'push play' and 'pause' kind of rhythm for you. Take care, God Bless. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Eps 46 Hard Truths

You know what we keep in the back of our mind, that if we just tell ourselves over and over its not true, it will just go away? I name a few of these yucky feelings we just don't want to be true, but they are...as with the title "Hard". I go through some hard truths, hard feelings on our realities of every day life. There is a beautiful gift to cling onto with hope, with salvation at hand through all the reality of today's world and our personal lives.

I speak about real life things, that even I myself walk through every single day, encouraging and reminding myself and others on how to overcome, go against the darkness and walk with Christ.  This episode is about overcoming cursing with speech but also towards others and how the power of our words and our speech can take great effect both negatively and positively. Join me as we dive into scripture and what God is telling us with our mouth and tongue.  Scripture: Psalm 34:13, Proverbs 18:21, James 3: 8-12 Message me and lets put a conversation on the pod: IG: @GrowthRefined or nicolepeterson128@gmail.com

Eps 44 It's okay to not be okay

Have you found yourself in the position of a bereaved parent, or someone who knows of a person who has lost a child? I am hopeful that this episode may enlighten you of things not to say, and things you can do as a bereaved parent and as a friend or family member of a bereaved parent. It is hard for our society, to accept people 'not to be okay'; but with child loss, this one is an exception. Please join me!
