Pastor Di and Amy Wolff speak on Darkness and Light in part 2 of their series from Ephesians.

Pastor Di, and her Daughter, Amy Wolff, share about Light and Darkness in Ephesians 5.

If someone believes, votes or thinks differently than you, are they your enemy? Are you quick to judge and dismiss people who aren't like you?  Amy is sharing her story of her unlikely friendship with a woman who is very different than she is. It started with a prompting from God for Amy to be in the world, hate her own sin more than everyone else's, and to love in a radically different way than our culture teaches. You'll hear us talk about… Disagreement without judgement How empathy does not mean endorsement Having hard, messy conversations Sharing Jesus with your life more than your words Amy Wolff is a speaker coach and President of Distinction Communication, a training firm out of Portland, OR.

"To be content with little is hard; to be content with much, impossible." - Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach In the midst of this holiday season, what better time to take pause and celebrate the amazing blessings already present in our lives. For the past five years, every podcast guest has been asked a series of rapid-fire questions known as the Live Inspired 7. The third question is: Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? Join me as I share what I would retrieve. Plus, I share some of the most remarkable responses that remind us that real joy, real peace and real love are seldom wrapped and almost never found under the tree. SHOW NOTES: What would you go back in and save? These past Live Inspired Podcast guests share the important reminder that real joy, peace and love are seldom wrapped and found under the tree. Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Lauren Daigle from ep. 248. Bestselling author and post-traumatic growth expert Michaela Haas from ep. 4. Former Navy fighter pilot and POW Charlie Plumb. Hear our entire conversation here. Congressional Gold Medal Recipient Carlotta Wells LaNier from ep. 56. Apollo 13 Spacecraft Commander Captain Jim Lovell from ep. 90. Entrepreneur, executive headhunter, nonprofit developer Laura Gassner-Ottig from ep. 152.  Author + law reform advocate Jeanne Bishop from ep. 246. Most common responses: Photos, Bible (including Kansas City Royals manager Mike Matheny), computer, journals, guitars... and nothing. Unexpected answers: Legendary entertainer John Tesh would go in for his 9-foot grand piano. Rebekah Gregory, a survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing would save her waterproof prosthetic leg Ariel because nothing sets my soul more on fire than being at the beach. Well-known standup comic Sebastian Maniscalco, goes back in for cheese since his wife and kids are out safely! Bestselling author of The Shack, William Paul Young would retrieve a first edition George McDonnell Unspoken Sermons book. Amy Wolff, the mastermind behind a life-saving global movement, would save a carved piece of wood from her late brother. Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr would retrieve a letter he wrote to himself after his consecutive inning streak ended in September 1987.  Seth Godin, 20-time bestselling author, would fetch a canoe paddle he carved for his wife in 1979.

Amy Wolff, a mom and small business owner, was moved to action to place encouraging yard signs in her community when she realized that suicides were on the rise. That action and subsequent investment of less than $150 spread from Portland, Oregon, to a worldwide movement that exists in 27 countries and all 50 states. She joins us to discuss the journey of how she repurposed her pain into purpose that has made a lasting impact. Her new book Signs of Hope is an intimate collection of stories from Amy's personal life, as well as stories from Amy's personal life, as well as people impacted by the movement, about the power of hope and love in the midst of suffering.  Learn more about Amy: https://www.amynwolff.com/ Grab a copy of "Signs of Hope": https://www.amynwolff.com/signsofhope  Follow Thrivin' on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thrivinpodcast/  Join our FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/374531347301074  Follow Thrivin' on Twitter - https://twitter.com/thrivinpodcast  Learn more about Thrivin' - https://www.thrivininthewild.com/   

Georgene Rice speaks with Amy Wolff about her new book, "Signs of Hope: How Small Acts of Love Can Change Your World." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When my guest this week heard a disturbing story on the news, she couldn't forget it.  So she lamented about it to everyone she knew and did nothing.   No, just kidding.  She, unlike lots of us, did something about it. This is where the magic is.  You can complain and stress, or put your money where you mouth is and actually make progress toward a solution. Yes, even you! So, Amy Wolff did just that. And she eventually found hope and love, accidentally, via yard signs.   Here are a few things she learned about herself and the world:   We can't do nothing! (PS. She's a doer) Turns out just cheering people on was simple, yet profound. If we all did something, who knows what could happen! We don't believe perfect; we're human and that's more relatable; we're not bothered by it if you're not. Imperfect makes you more influential and relatable. The evolution will come; you can't rush it. Your wins and losses don't reflect your worth.   Patience, trusting, thriving relationships…she made this all happen.  And it started with doing something.  Tune in and see just how… More about Amy here:   https://distinctioncommunication.com/company/ https://www.dontgiveupsigns.com/our-story   And check out my book: Peace, Possibilities, and Perspective: 8 Secrets to Serenity and Satisfaction in Your Life and Career https://2possibilityandbeyond.com/my-book

"What good can I possibly do?" we ask. As a busy mom and small business owner, Amy Wolff often felt unqualified and too overwhelmed to address the suffering around her. But one day in 2017, after hearing about several suicides and suicide attempts in her community, she printed 20 yard signs with hopeful messages and anonymously placed them throughout her city. This small action sparked a global movement of encouragement, hope, and love, which spread to 50 states and 27 countries in just 18 months. Signs of Hope is an intimate collection of stories from Amy's personal life, as well as people impacted by the movement, about the power of hope and love in the midst of suffering. This book discusses:- the drain of compassion fatigue - why we should show up imperfectly to help others - how to claim hope for ourselves - practical ideas of how to respond to suffering - strategies of how to love people who are “different”  - resilience when love-spreading efforts backfire - how to raise a compassionate generation - the science of hopeThis feel-good, call-to-action book will restore your belief in humanity and empower you to live a life of impact.

Don't give up. You are worthy of love. Your mistakes don't define you. These simple phrases launched a global movement. Overwhelmed by the staggering suicide rates in her small Oregon town, Amy Wolff was determined to support those struggling.  With her husband and two young daughters, Amy anonymously staked 20 yard signs with encouraging phrases across their community, never anticipating it would ignite a powerful + life-saving movement of hope, love and encouragement. Today, these phrases are displayed on yard signs, wristbands, stickers and cards across the United States and over 26 countries. After a year of uncertainty, struggle and unrest for so many, today's conversation will inspire you to be generous with love... for yourself and others. SHOW NOTES: "Your brother saved you and I couldn't save mine." As a teenager, Amy watched helplessly as her older brother Jeremy drowned teaching her purpose, perspective, fragility of life and urgency. Walk with others in their suffering by showing up, staying tender and offering pain as empathy. Instead of building a fence around his grief, Amy's dad chose to build a bridge to others suffering by gifting a handmade waterproof wooden box for their loved ones to hold letters. "We exist to give others tangible ways to show up, do something that will provide hope and stir courage for those hurting." Amy and John share stories of how an unexpected encounter with a sign triggered a chain of hope. Moments of sovereignty: facilitating moments where others see hope and take it for themselves.

I hear ya... there's a lot in the world you'd probably like to change and this past year brought many of these needed changes to our attention. But, how do we help? Like actually, practically help. Big ways or small, we're called to step in and offer hope, peace, and kindness to the world around us as Jesus did. Need a "next step" or some inspiration on how to? Meet my friend Amy Wolff in today's episode. Amy Wolff, a busy mom, and small business owner, often felt this way--and didn't feel qualified to connect and uplift others. But one day, after hearing about several suicides and suicide attempts in her community, she printed 20 yard signs with hopeful messages and anonymously placed them throughout her city. This small action sparked a global movement of encouragement which lead to her new book, "Signs of Hope: How Small Acts of Love Can Change Your World."

My guest for The Happy Hour #379 is Amy Wolff. If you have been listening to the podcast for a while, then Amy Wolff is a familiar name to you. Amy is a speaker coach, motivational speaker, author and founder of Don’t Give Up Movement. Amy also just released her newest book Signs of Hope which is beautifully written and a must-read for anyone and everyone! In today’s show, Amy dives into the story of Signs of Hope and how it was the start of a journey - not just one of encouraging people who are like her, but also encouraging those who are very different from her. It’s easy to say “You matter,” to someone just like you; it’s a lot harder to tell someone they matter (and truly mean it) if they believe, vote, speak, and live differently than you do. But I love so much when Amy breaks down the difference between empathy and endorsement and says “We don’t have to agree. That is not a prerequisite to love.” For the full summary and links to the show, click below!

All over the world, mysterious signs have been popping up. They say messages like: “Don’t give up.” “You are worthy of love.” “Your mistakes don’t define you.” Today we’re introducing you to the woman behind these messages and the global movement: Amy Wolff. One weekend in 2017, Amy and her family anonymously staked in yards in their small town of Newberg, Oregon. They had just learned of suicide rates in their town and wanted to find a way to encourage community members. Little did they know that their project would turn into a global movement featured on Good Morning America, Yahoo, the Washington Post, NowThis, and on countless other media. Within days, Amy incorporated Don’t Give Up as a nonprofit, and products (which the organization sells at-cost) have shipped to all 50 U.S. states and 26 countries, including the Philippines, Rwanda, Costa Rica, and Zambia. Now the movement serves more than as a response to suicide — it’s also a comforting cancer patients, those enduring the loss of a loved one, and those recovering from sexual assault and inspiring people to have the courage to leave abusive relationships or overcome addiction. In this episode, Wolff tells the story of her neighborhood-project-turned-worldwide-movement and reminds us of the power of simple, kind words at the right place at the right time for the right person.

Ever said something like, “Other people are really good at this, and I shouldn’t be doing it because I am NOT.” Amy Wolff, executive coach, hears this all the time about public speaking. At Find Your Voice, we hear it all the time about writing. In this episode, Amy dives into how to speak and how, through three small words, she gained the attention of her neighbors, her state, Good Morning America, and, eventually, a publisher. Whether on stage or on a yard sign, Amy has built her life on the belief that your words matter, no matter who you are.dontgiveupsigns.comdistinctioncommunication.comIG: @dontgiveupsigns Facebook: dontgiveupsigns

In this episode, Rachel chats with Amy Wolff about loving others when you disagree with them. We all have those people a part of our story: the ones that you love so dearly but disagree on (small or sometimes larger) topics that create tension in the relationship. Amy speaks to that tension, asking questions and giving direction on how to move forward with the relationship. She shares her own journey of befriending someone who is quite the opposite of her, the story of losing her brother and how that intertwines into her wanting to love people well and make a difference, and the accidental movement she's created with it all. Cannot wait for you to tune in and start finding those ways to empathize with those around you.

My guest for The Happy Hour # 224 is Amy Wolff. Amy is a TEDx Speaker Coach and Executive Coach for a consulting company she co-owns with her father in Portland, OR. She accidentally started a global movement in 2017 through simple yard signs. But what currently thrills Amy the most is engaging in difficult conversations with unlikely friends and leading teams to Rwanda to experience the global family of God. Amy and I start off talking about jealousy and how this show almost didn't even happen. Amy gives us some great tips about speaking, whether that's at Sunday School, at the PTA, or in front of a large crowd. We then talk about grief and the loss of her brother Jeremy. Amy talks about how it has influenced her life, and the peace and wrestling with God she has experienced. In the second half of the show, Amy tells us how she and her family decided to take action using yard signs when they learned of the suicide rate in their area. What began with driving around asking neighbors if they could place a sign in their yard, has turned into a global movement. We also learn about an unexpected friendship with a witch (yes friends, a witch) that has provided the opportunity to have difficult conversations publicly, but done so in love. And lastly - because we discussed  all the things on this show! - we talk about sin, looking at our own sin, and how it influences how we love people. {You can listen to the show HERE, and make sure you never miss a Happy Hour by subscribing through your favorite podcast app (ie. iTunes, Stitcher).  And of course, I would love if you would share with your friends!} Links from the Show Distinction Communication Don't Give Up Signs Love Does by Bob Goff The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown  What Amy is loving: Mindy Mae's Market DoubleHood, Noonday Collection, Sour Patch Kids new mango flavor What Amy is reading: Letters to the Church by Francis Chan, The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, New Seeds of Contemplation by Thomas Merton Connect with Amy Facebook // Instagram Connect with Jamie + The Happy Hour Facebook // Twitter // Instagram // YouTube Want to stay connected to The Happy Hour? Subscribe to The Happy Hour Newsletter!
