She shares her personal experiences of navigating intense emotions after the birth of her child, including the challenges of postpartum life and the fear of losing loved ones. June emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and embracing both joy and grief, advocating for a 'joy rebellion' where individuals allow themselves to feel joy even amidst difficult circumstances.

What does it mean to see work not as a curse but as part of God's original design? In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey is joined by board member Mark Van Drunen to welcome David L. Bahnsen for a rich conversation about his new book, Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life. Bahnsen is the founder, Managing Partner, and Chief Investment Officer of The Bahnsen Group, a private wealth management firm managing more than $4.5 billion in client assets. David is the author of Crisis of Responsibility: Our Cultural Addiction to Blame and How You Can Cure It, The Case for Dividend Growth: Investing in a Post-Crisis World, and There's No Free Lunch, 250 Economic Truths. Mark Van Drunen works in finance and is a ruling elder at Redeemer PCA in Hudson, Ohio. He serves on the Reformed Forum Board of Directors. Together, they explore how a robustly Reformed view of vocation challenges the sacred–secular divide, recovers the dignity of labor, and reorients our understanding of productivity and flourishing. Drawing from Genesis 1, Reformed anthropology, and the legacy of Kuyper, Bahnsen argues that work is not a mere means to consumption or status, but an essential expression of our identity as image-bearers of God. The discussion also addresses pressing contemporary questions—from the pitfalls of “work–life balance” and “follow your passion” mantras, to the theological problems with universal basic income and the cultural obsession with consumption. Listeners will be encouraged to see their daily labor as an act of worship, anticipating the greater work of the new creation secured in Christ. This is a conversation at the intersection of theology, economics, and discipleship—aimed at helping Christians recover a biblically grounded vision for work that fosters maturity in Christ and glorifies God in every sphere of life.

The Secret Joy in Your WorkI wish we were in the same room and everyone of us could share what the word calling means to us, and what you feel called to do. Maybe you've known that with burning clarity from the time you were tiny. Maybe thinking about your calling is confusing and gives you anxiety just thinking about it. Maybe you felt like your calling was one thing, but others or life circumstances have changed that for you... I hope you leave this episode with a renewed sense of clarity and encouragement as you step into what God is calling you into.-What in the world got you interested and excited about the topic of calling? -I love how you pointed out that not all callings are paid work and the word "work" has been saddled with a bad reputation. Can you talk us through that? -How does it change our understanding of work to know that we worship a God who works? -Did all ancient gods work, or was that unique? -How did the fall affect our work? How does a culture of forward-facing and instant/microwave results show up as a barrier for young people pursuing challenging goals?-How do we learn to find joy in the process of work, not just the results? ⁠More info about Around the Ancient World HERE!!⁠You can find⁠ ⁠Karen Swallow Prior and her book "⁠⁠You Have a Calling"You can find Elizabeth writing helpful hints ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on the blog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Helping you love Jesus and disciple your kids ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or get access to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Additional study resources here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Original Music written and recorded by Jonathan Camenisch *affiliate links are used when appropriate.

In this episode of How to Find Joy, host June Suepunpuck returns after a year she never could have planned. What was meant to be a short break after Season 1 turned into a year of upheaval, reinvention, and unexpected firsts.Season 1 was filled with expert interviews and practical tips for finding joy through grief and life's biggest challenges. It was created for those who want the step-by-step formulas and to hear the end results.On the other hand, Season 2 is for anyone currently in the messy middle... feeling stuck, starting over, or unsure about who they are right now. Instead of only sharing polished “after” stories, June shows up in real time to explore what's messy, what's grounding, and what's actually helping her stay joyful (or at least human) through identity shifts, motherhood, and the not-so-shiny parts of rebuilding a life.If you're craving honest conversations, small sparks of inspiration, and proof you don't have to have it all figured out to move forward, this season is for you. New episodes drop every other Monday, so hit follow and join the journey!--------------------------------CONNECT WITH JOY GUIDE JUNE!

Segment 1: Lonelier By Design: The Quiet Decline Of Community Spaces Are you familiar with the term, ‘third place'? These are the local cafes, diners, public parks, park district centers and other places that foster connection and feel accessible and welcoming. Many of us take these areas, and the benefit they bring, for granted. Yet, for many, especially senior citizens and low-income individuals, these spots are a lifeline. Sadly, these places are disappearing across the country as prices rise and people shift their habits. We cover the importance of these hubs and the broad-ranging health impacts and consequences without them. Segment 2: The Foolproof Way To Find Joy In Cooking Again Most people would agree that eating out and staying in are two very different experiences. Chef and cookbook author Alison Roman explains that being able to have people over and cooking for people you love provides a different way to spend your time and money. We speak with Roman this week about how to simplify this process, choose recipes that lead you to success and don't leave you confused and overwhelmed.

What makes time go fast for you, and what makes it go slow...It's a powerful question that might just help you find more meaning and heck, yes even more joy in your work.We see a brighter future, but the system moves slowly. This mismatch can lead to frustration and burnout. What if the secret to creating change wasn't about the system, but about you?In this conversation with Martha Edwards, a public sector veteran, we talk about powerful personal habits that keep her effective and optimistic.In this episode we explore topics like:How to find satisfaction in work that might not bear fruit for yearsWhy the energy you bring to a room is one of your most powerful professional toolsAnd how a simple practice like writing "week notes" can be a hack to recognize your small wins and give you the motivation to keep going.This framing takes the pressure off and allows us to be kinder to ourselves, knowing we've contributed a piece to a larger, longer story.

In this episode, we sit down with performance coach and hypnotherapist Dawn Grant to unpack the true nature of "the zone." While many think of it as a purely mental state, Dawn reveals it as a spiritual and mental experience that goes far beyond traditional sports psychology. She shares how her work with hypnosis led her to discover that the peak performance state athletes describe is the same euphoric, calm, and focused state her clients enter during hypnosis. Dawn explains that the zone is a natural state of mind, characterized by reduced critical thinking and the absence of worry, doubt, and fear. By learning to quiet the ego and its negative thought patterns, we can deliberately tap into our true potential—not just on the golf course, but in every aspect of our lives. We discuss the value of failure as a roadmap for growth, the importance of a healthy mindset, and why the "post-segment routine" is key to building lasting confidence and joy.

SummaryThis is a sermon every discouraged believer needs to hear. Drawing from the final chapter of Habakkuk, this is a word for every weary warrior in ministry. Even when the fig tree doesn't blossom, when everything's failing, and joy feels like a distant memory — there is still a reason to rejoice.From Winston Churchill's resilience to the pressure of modern ministry, this message walks through the power of gratitude, obedience, and spiritual deliverance as keys to finding joy again. You'll laugh, reflect, and most importantly — be renewed in God's joy.Chapters00:00 - Intro: Next Gen Friday and Churchill's Humor01:55 - The Power of the Happy Warrior04:22 - Habakkuk's Complaint & Collapse of Israel06:40 - Our World Today: A Modern Parallel08:35 - When Ministry Feels Hopeless10:27 - The Exhaustion of Overwork12:43 - When Your Prayers Sound Like Habakkuk14:26 - The Curse of Comparison15:38 - The Pressure of the Hourglass17:08 - Where's the Joy At?20:28 - The Command to Rejoice Always22:04 - Gratitude Sparks Joy25:22 - Obedience Unlocks Joy27:41 - When You Need Deliverance30:32 - Performance Mentality and Joy Thieves32:50 - Becoming a True Happy Warrior34:11 - Joy Gives You Strength36:00 - The Neuroscience of Joy38:17 - What If Joy Is the Secret to Revival?40:07 - Let God Be God — Rejoice41:23 - The Final Word: Draw from the Wells of SalvationShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

What kind of parent willingly gives up a peaceful beach day… for four hours of standing in theme park lines? In this episode, Justin shares the story of his most "Father of the Year" moment — and Kylie reveals how she did something even braver. If you’ve ever had to choose between comfort and connection, this one’s for you. KEY POINTS: Why showing up — even when it’s uncomfortable — creates lasting memories for our kids.The unexpected benefits of shared boredom (like standing in line together!).How doing things you hate can still bring joy — to both you and your kids.The value of modelling courage, humour, and presence (even on the Kansas Twister).Why it’s often the hard, inconvenient moments that matter most in family life. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “Do the hard things. The joy it brings your kids — seeing you squeal, be scared, and do it anyway — you can’t put a price on that.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: HappyFamilies.com.au — for more parenting inspiration and tools. ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Say Yes to the Hard Thing – Whether it’s a dreaded ride, a messy game, or a long conversation, lean in. Model Being Brave – Let your kids see you doing things outside your comfort zone. Find Joy in the Chaos – Embrace the mess, the lines, and the noise as chances to connect. Reflect and Celebrate – Share the story with your kids afterwards. Celebrate effort, not perfection. Plan Your Own "Hard Thing" – Ask yourself: What’s one thing I can do this week that puts my kids first, even if it’s uncomfortable? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What impact would this shift have on your coaching style or parenting approach? Creating Value vs. Climbing Ladders: In what specific ways are you creating value for those you lead or parent? How might you shift your focus from "climbing the ladder" to making a meaningful impact in your current role? The Seeker Mentality: How are you modeling curiosity and a "seeker mentality" for your athletes/children? What questions could you ask more often to foster this mindset in those you lead? Transformational Impact: What would it look like if your athletes/children wanted to stay connected with you 5-10 years from now? What small changes could you make today to become more transformational and less transactional in your approach? Process Over Outcome: Where in your coaching or parenting are you overly focused on outcomes rather than process?

Where do you go looking for joy? In this heartfelt devotional, Whitney Hopler shares a personal story of travel disappointment that led to a powerful revelation: true joy isn’t found in plans or places—it’s found in God’s presence. Based on Psalm 16:11, this episode dives into how joy differs from happiness and why the world can never offer the kind of lasting joy our souls crave.

Have you ever wondered why, despite all our modern comforts, so many of us still struggle with unhappiness and anxiety? What if a more fulfilling life isn't about constant positivity but rather a form of ‘cheerful pessimism'? Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I'll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests. Today's clip is from episode 495 of the podcast with author, internationally renowned philosopher, and founder of The School of Life, the wonderful Alain de Botton. Alain is known for his thoughtful, often humorous take on the complexities of modern life. In this clip, Alain explains a concept that he calls ‘cheerful pessimism' which challenges what he describes as the modern obsession with happiness and introduces the idea that a more melancholic outlook to life might actually lead to greater fulfilment. His message of hope and understanding about the shared human experience of suffering and complexity is both comforting and inspiring and his thoughtful and practical strategies offer a roadmap for anyone seeking a more authentic and meaningful life. Alain's latest book: A Therapeutic Journey: Lessons From The School of Life.
