Hello Randomers and Randomites. To use the standard Hollywood defense in regards to bad continuity, time traveling wizards! Now that that's out of the way, we stumbled our way to a flea market and ran across three of the Carnival All-Stars! We're joined by Steve of The Tombstone Hands, Greg of many Rochester bands and Patrick of D&D and MuCCC/DVC fame. So what in the world do you talk about at a flea market? How about the weird things people want to get rid of. A lot of times you run across old movies that you wonder why people bought in the first place, so that's where we went. We're talking some really strange stuff. Old serials, Three Stooges, martial arts movies and the rash of sci-fi movies the world has seen related to the not-so-friendly people of Germany during the Second World War. Definitely an unusual time, but there's lots of stuff to make you laugh. Keep a close eye out for all of our friends and what they're up to. Greg is playing with several bands locally, including The Brian Lindsay Band and Anonymous Willpower, so stay tuned to their social media for news about what's going on. He'll be playing at the Brighton Farmers Market on Sunday, November 10th if you're near there so hit that up. Also, check out Steve's radio show "Rock & Roll Rumble" every Saturday from 1:00 to 3:00 PM on WRFZ 106.3 FM or listen during those times at Rochester Free Radio. Also, coming in December Patrick, among many other friends that you've listened to have a new show coming out called "Rouslana & Jelena: A Modern-Day Russian Revolution". Look for the links below for more information and stay tuned in the future for more news. Stay tuned after the podcast for some music from another new friend of The Carnival, the very talented Amy LaVere. With her permission, from her newest album "Painting Blue", we are proud to present "Painting Blue (On Everything)". Give her a listen and check her out and give her all the support that you can muster. Song used with permission, all rights to Amy LaVere. We own no rights to it.

You guys, our guest this week is capital F- Funny. It felt like we were sitting on the back porch of her house in Atlanta, sipping wine, and laughing our heads off at all of Amy Lyle’s jokes. Amy is a comedian, #1 Best Selling Author, Screenplay writer, Co-Host, wife, and mom. Amy’s first book is about all the failures she's had and learning to laugh through the hard times. We asked her what it was like trying to turn her screenplay into an actual movie, how to get published for all of our wanna-be authors out there, and what helps her keep her strong faith through life. If you need a good laugh, you are in for a treat.

Even though David was a "man after God's own heart", he also felt the sting of public rejection. His son, Absalom, turned against him and took a portion of David's community with him. To make matters worse, as David fled for his life with his people, a man named Shimei threw stones at him. He called David a "worthless fellow" and "evil" (2 Samuel 16:5-14). How did David recover from a past of murder, adultery, and rejection from his son and his people to finally return to as king once again? Listen in as Amy and Tammy talk about how we can overcome our not-so-pretty past and how we can be encouraged (and learn) from David's story. They discuss how we can choose to react when others are cursing or talking about us. Be part of the conversation as they share some of their own challenges in overcoming their prodigal pasts and how you can look forward, give yourself grace, and have a hope of the future.

In the scriptures, 241 times in the New King James, “fear not” or “do not fear” appeared in the Bible. 241 times, God took His people into their calling, their purpose, or their next step which required more than their own strength (and courage) to fulfill. 241 times, His people saw glimpses of what He had in store and it seemed too impossible, too big, too fantastical for their imaginations to fathom. 241 times, His people felt the weight of where He was taking them and fear was right there trying to hold them back. But God. Amy and Tammy get vulnerable and honest about their most debilitating fears. They share about how fear can teach us about ourselves. But how fear does not get to dictate what we will or will not do when God calls. "I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you."

We are excited to welcome Jamie as she shares her family's call to foster and adopt in the middle of raising their four biological kids. Listen in as one mother, who already mothered 11 of her younger siblings, realizes that all her parenting practice and years of raising her kids didn't always provide her with answers. As parents, our kids teach us a lot about ourselves, especially how desperately we need God’s grace to parent well. And when you blend families through foster or adoption, we learn even more about ourselves than we cared to know. Listen in today as Jamie Young shares about her family’s call to foster and adopt and one of the most valuable insights she’s gained in parenting, one we can all benefit from hearing. If you feel this is something God’s asking of you or if you want to support those in your community who are already fostering or have adopted, join us as we explore the process and the journey through Jamie’s experience. She will give you tools, resources, and encouragement to be a better parent for your kids and a good friend to those called to opening up their home. Join us as we discover different tempos of grace, being adaptable, and how we benefit by staying teachable.

"I opened up the file folder to see what was in it…..she was practicing my signature. Her forgery of my signature was so authentic, it was scary." Embezzlement. Forgery. Fraud. Imagine these things were happening in your $13M program of federal money to help the poor. Imagine you went to your boss to turn in the "bad guys." Surely, he would be on your side. Wrong. In this case, Dr. Amy Block Joy had no idea how high up the deception was happening at UC Davis, but she knew one thing...she needed to sleep at night. Doing the right thing was the only solution that gave her peace. On today's podcast, she shares the turn of events that led her to find herself as a whistleblower, what it cost her, how she maintained courage through demoralizing retaliation and solid advice to those who might find themselves in the same situation. He said, "You’ll need to find new friends and build a new life. Few people will understand what you feel, but remember it’s you who will sleep better at night knowing you did the right thing. Accept your new life now and try to embrace it as an opportunity” Some other topics we touched on were -Her ethical journey and moral dilemma -How she knew something wasn't right -The story of accusations against her and the 4 year investigation -Why retaliation is dangerous -The importance of going to the correct person -How and why people want to discredit the whistleblower -Forceful tactics -Advise from Daniel Ellsberg (released the Pentagon Papers that ended the Vietnam War) -Steps that every whistleblower or reporter should take -The important of anonymity -Why ethics matter Resources mentioned in the show: Amy's Website: www.amyblockjoy.com Whistleblower by Amy Block Joy Retaliation by Amy Block Joy Blowback: The Unintended Consequences of Exposing a Fraud by Amy Block Joy Ethics Point, a 3rd party agency collecting reports of fraud, unethical behavior by a company
2-Minute Tip: Challenge the Audience to Discover Truth Immediately challenge the audience to discover a truth about themselves that proves the premise of your talk. If the group knows that you have an appreciation or understanding of their personal (or business) situation, they will engage. As a bonus, make them laugh within the first 30 seconds. Post Tip Discussion: Meet Amy Lyle I always enjoy to talking to folks who follow a path similar to mine -- sales, training, speaking. The way our careers end up different despite a similar progression is fascinating and demonstrates the possibilities available to all of us. There is not one path to your destination and not one destination for a path. Amy Lyle is one of those guests who followed a path similar to mine and has built the latest iteration of her career out of failure. Or rather, talking about failure -- her own and giving people an opportunity to share theirs. And she's funny! And compelling. I really enjoyed hearing about the training sessions she ran for recruiters. The programs may have been tough for new folks, but helping them find out early the role is not for them is valuable. We also have a great conversation about sales and storytelling. Amy even references Iszi Lawrence's appearance from last year. When it seems like the interview is over, keep listening because we kept talking. And enjoy talking about sweet, sweet failure. And an alpaca. Bio Most people avoid talking about their most cringe-worthy moments but not our next guest, Amy Lyle. She has turned her own disasters into The Book of Failures and her newest release, We're All A Mess, It's OK is a collection of funny essays and one-liners about the struggles of everyday life. Amy believes that the filtered world is making us all feel less than and tearing us apart- but being authentic and sharing your faux pas with others brings people together. She’s a frequent guest on WXIA’s Atlanta and Company's, author, actor and public speaker.

Listen in as Amy and Tammy share about their journeys when they first walked away from their faith and what it took for them to “come to our senses.” They give parents and friends of prodigals, insight into what most impacted them in the midst of their doubts, anger, and darkest questions about religion and God. Learn how each of us can be a light or how we can release and trust God with those who seemed to have lost their way. And discover the hope that awaits and greets every prodigal’s return to the One who never shames them for their past. How might God be showing up in the lives of a prodigal child? What ways can we best minister to someone who is struggling in their faith or seems to have walked away, altogether?

This profile can give you an “Aha!” moment of clarity into why you think (or work) like you do. “There are different activities, but the same God activates each gift in each person.” -1 Corinthians 12:6 HCSB Episodes originally air on the radio every Thursday at 12:30pm CST on Graceandtruthradio.world If you enjoyed one of our shows, please help us with the algorithms so others can find us, by leaving a review on iTunes here.

How can we maintain margin and avoid burnout when life events come careening at us? What tangible ways can we carve out time for ourselves, put up boundaries, and find time to take a deep breath in the middle of a health crisis or an extremely busy season in our family’s life? Amy and Tammy offer some insight (and some confessions) about how they strive to maintain balance as mothers, daughters of aging parents and as entrepreneurs. We can’t all take a Caribbean cruise when life events hit us hard, but we can find margin, carve out a few moments or an hour for a cup of coffee, a car ride alone, or a long walk to rejuvenate, refocus, and re-enter our lives with fresh energy and perspective. “Come away by yourselves to a remote place and rest for a while.”-Mark 6:31 HCSB Episodes originally aired on the radio Thursday at 12:30pm CST on Graceandtruthradio.world If you enjoyed one of our shows, please help us with the algorithms so others can find us, by leaving a review on iTunes here.

Having being trained and educated in traditional therapeutic nutrition, Bryn became a dietitian who also struggled to understand the “why” behind her eating struggles. But when she took part in a group session with a psychologist as a nutritional consultant, an epiphany changed everything for her. Listen in on Bryn’s journey out of the yo-yo lifestyle, how she discovered functional medicine, and how she now treats the root issue of disease as a dietitian. Learn what eating habits factored into the elevation of mood that positively impacted women she led in a private group. And how we can’t serve others well if we aren’t serving ourselves well. Tune in Bryn, Amy, and Tammy share how taking care of our bodies can be an act of worship and how we can’t walk in our purpose when we are sick and tired.

Join us in a journey toward a more vibrant you–a you that has the energy to fully embrace your (sometimes reluctant) purpose. “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”-Romans 12:1 NIV Episodes originally aired on radio Thursday at 12:30pm CST on Graceandtruthradio.world If you enjoyed one of our shows, please help us with the algorithms so others can find us, by leaving a review on iTunes here.

And that “anyone” can include our self. Some seasons or days (or hours), we need to contend for our freedom, fighting the good fight over our soul. What we believe about ourselves is the life we live out. Some lies are obvious—as apparent as the nose on our face. But what about the secret lies we say about ourselves? How do we root those weeds out especially when they’ve been planted as a normal part of our inner landscape? Amy and Tammy talked about the lies they’ve believed, how they broke free, and their (sometimes daily) journey in maintaining it. Hear how Amy struggled to embrace her beloved-ness and what became her turning point in grasping the depths of God’s love (and freedom) for her. Tune in as Tammy shares how one small group of women, a bible study, and a short drive home revealed the mystery of a familiar deception. “Christ has set us free to live a free life.

Have you ever found yourself in a waiting period that seems to go on forever? A time where you feel like a toddler in the backseat of a car asking, “Are we there yet? Are we there yet?” This stage of winter can feel a lot like that. Waiting has a way of stripping our identity down to us and God–alone. It can be a time of giving ourselves permission to grieve a loss or change. We don’t usually volunteer to wait–especially when that time overextends its stay in our life. But we can find this season allows for rest. We don’t control the time frame. However, we can choose to live in the right now’s of our season. Listen in as Amy talks about shifting identities in her transition of adult children and the awkward dance of rediscovering her role as a Mom, a wife, and a woman. And hear how Tammy realized the importance (and vanity) of her address when her family moved into a “shack” on their farm and it was a catalyst in finding her true identity in Christ.

How do you live in a season where you can’t see the path in front of you? How do you overcome when mountainous burdens suddenly crash upon your soul like a tsunami, sweeping you out to (what appears to be) an endless ocean of winter? What does it look like to give up your dream only to land in your darkest valley? Or to have ovarian cancer and have a baby in one fell swoop? And where might the critical tools or desperate encouragement be found in times when life’s crisis blinds you with the darkness of overwhelming struggles and sheer survival? Listen in as Tammy and Amy share about giving up dreams and fighting for the lives that they never imagined they’d have to surrender. Join them as they talk about the hard moments, what exactly they learned, how it changed them, and what they could see (looking back) once they reached the other side.

Getting started is not based on how “good” you are or how young you are or how wise you are (although, that definitely helps). It is not even based on how able you are. When God calls you to start, He takes you just as you are, right now. You don’t have to wait for that “magical” time whether it be January or a Monday or some other fairy-tale hour. You do not even have to be comfortable. In fact, what you’re planning on doing might seem near impossible. Most times, getting started on something entirely new will stretch you. Listen in on how Amy moved past her negative self-labels to finally do the one thing she challenged herself in 2019. And learn about Tammy’s realization that God was asking her to revisit something she’d long ago given up. And hear how your own purpose does not expire with God but how it also does not always fit into our neat-n-tidy timelines.

Learn how God might be using your current season as a starting point for something new (to you). Join Tammy and Amy as they share how God prepares the way ahead of our beginnings.

Amy Parker's story is one of success in work because of faith in God. It's a simple story of a woman who had acquired her "dream job” with a fantastic company and was soon devastated to hear the news that she was to be fired. Over the course of time, Amy says she can look back now and see it was very clear that God was paving the way for her to exercise the skills of a children's author, an actual dream job that she didn't know was possible in her life. Speaking of exercising skills, have you all heard of The Artist’s Way? It is a book that Amy has dubbed the "12 step program for artists or creatives". She wholeheartedly recommends it! The concepts we talk about that really help you clear your mind and move forward in the creative process. One of them, Morning Pages, where you write anything that is on your mind, (stream of consciousness)- gets the mundane tasks out of the way to tap into the creative voice. Internal editor/internal voice it's something that we may not even be aware of. But I love how Amy clued us into seeing when our internal editor seems to be the loudest. It’s when our confidence is shaken, that we start to let the internal negative voice take over. It can discourage and persuade us from moving forward, particularly after a setback. I love how Amy points to our true Inner Voice (God) and how He's the one that will ultimately guide us into the places and spaces that we are meant to be. Amy's job loss took her to a place where she was forced to step out and pursue something little bit out of her comfort zone: Writing Children's Books. In that stepping out, Amy found a new job. She can say God fully cared for her in this job in ways she never anticipated. This job came with perks that her old job never had; namely the flexibility to be near her children when they needed her. Hindsight showed her that this was such a blessing. And I particularly loved how her story has highlighted that women can have professional jobs and simultaneously play a large role in raising their children. The balance that Amy juggled was definitely real. This was almost 2 decades ago when women working from home with kids in their lap was certainly not the norm. I love Amy's insight with her experience as a dedicated mom who was also fully invested in her career. Pro tip from Amy: moms need to put on clothes and make-up and get out of the house and connect with other adults. This is essential to stay whole and not lose yourself in just one facet of your work. It allows you to reconnect with other parts of yourself and not just stay on autopilot with a mom-brain. You don't want to miss the end of our time together when Amy openly shares about her relationship with God and how He has crafted Amy's story from the very beginning. Amy tells us how her experiences gave her faith that God would provide. She had assurance that He would take care of her, even when her husband was fired from His job. And yes, God even provided then! God is not kidding when He says he will give us more than we could ever ask or think. Amy found that her worst career moment of being fired from her great job ended up being for the best moment because God provided a perfect job: Living the dream as a full time writer. (Amy will quickly dispel the glamour of her writing gig, but never diminishes the fact that it's a job she loves because she fully feels like it's what she was created to do. I love the charge Amy gives when it comes to the idea of success. She encourages us to back up and to focus on the purpose God created for us instead of the plan we think we need to "get there". Let God formulate the plan as you work solely on executing the purpose. Whether it be helping, creating, educating, encouraging, protecting, caring, or saving...your purpose can be found in a role or a job, it can be to a large group or a single individual, but it usually doesn't look like we think. The world says success is achieving certain milestones or a large reach of people, but God is pleased when our purpose is acted out in faith. This doesn't always match the definition of the world's success. It may not mean getting publicity or having a large influence. But instead, the small quiet moments of acting in His purpose feel right, meaningful and satisfying. Walk free in knowing that when you're doing what you're created for, you're on the path to glorifying Him and that's the most fulfilling place to be. Amy's purpose is to encourage families to read delightful books. She writes wonderfully crafted stories that are fueled from her faith in God. Check out the Night Night Series and other books.
