We have all heard the old phrase that laughter is the best medicine. While it may seem hard to believe that laughter contains medicinal properties, scientific research reveals that it can actually boost your immune system, lower blood pressure, and trigger the release of endorphins.But what is laughter really? Simply said, it is a gift. Laughter can recharge your focus, give you a much needed break when facing a stressful situation, and even renew your spirit to find the courage to face a highly difficult season of life.Chonda Pierce knows this all too well. A stand-up comedian blessed with a combination of southern charm and feisty wit, she has a very good sense of what is funny … and what is not. Chonda also knows laughter can have a short shelf life. That life is not always a series of jokes to make you smile. And even though you may be laughing on the outside, something very different is happening on the inside.In her latest book, “Life is Funny Until It's Not: A Comic's Story of Love, Loss, and Lunacy”, Chonda shares her deep pain, personal darkness, and the lifetime of challenges served as the genesis to the material that millions of people have found side-splittingly funny for more than 30 years.But through it all, God was there, on top of every peak and at the depths of every valley. Chonda's story of unshakeable faith will certainly inspire people to turn to God and trust His never-ending faithfulness. Chonda joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to talk about the good, bad, and ugly parts of her life. Listen as she expresses why it is important for her to share these secrets with people and what advice she has for someone who is scared to share traumatic experiences with family and friends.Links to CrossmapCrossmap WebsiteCrossmap Facebook

I hope laughter is a regular part of your days. Maybe we even get to be a part of that. Laughter is so good for the soul. But life isn’t always funny or fun. How do we not lose our joy in those moments and seasons? Emmy-nominated comedian, Chonda Pierce, believes that humor can help. Her new book Life Is Funny Until It’s Not will make you laugh and cry. Maybe all at once. Chonda takes the risk to rawly and honestly share her life story, the good, bad, and really hard, to help you and me.Support the show: https://give.moodyradio.org/fall-share?v=def&appeal=MRWM&_gl=1%2a142i9we%2a_ga%2aNTE4MTE5MmUtY2U1Yy00YmQ3LWU4MmUtNjEwYTQ5YzAyODRj%2a_ga_4WH1937046%2aMTY5NTExODEwMS4yOTkuMC4xNjk1MTE4MTAxLjYwLjAuMA..&_ga=2.197426156.215784306.1695059984-1182841406.166859587See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I often hear that laughter is the best medicine. But is it? For the award-winning comedian Chonda Pierce, making other's laugh was an escape from her deep depression and loneliness.

Not only does she open up about her story of overcoming, but she shares a few very practical tips for dealing with depression.If you don't know who Chonda Pierce is, let me tell you. She is an Emmy nominated, best-selling comedian whose winning combination of fierce wit and southern charm has made audiences laugh for more than two decades.

Chonda Pierce joins John Shirk on the Shirk at Work Network.

Hometown girl Chonda Pierce has gained national attention through televised comedy specials and shows around the country.  You’ll rarely see her in any comedy club, as most of her routines are done in churches around the country.  She’s also working on a new television series, which, as a family friendly act, is quite unusual in comedy.

There are people who are naturally funny, and there are people that need to work at it. The cartoonish southern style of speaking leads me to believe that Chonda is naturally funny. Almost like a cartoon voiceover actor, Chonda is the ‘Queen of Clean” comedian, with 10 comedy albums, multiple books, tv specials, and quite a story. From her start as a Minnie Pearl impersonator at Opryland, to audiences of thousands listening to funny stories about being born in a cab, her mom’s wig, misplacing her husband’s body,….(really.)
