Podcast appearances and mentions of lisa appelo

Lisa Appelo, Author of “Life Can Be Good Again” is back again this week to offer insight and encouragement for parents and caregivers helping a child through loss and grief. Every child is so very unique in their response and acceptance of loss. Understanding how to provide a safe space, compassion and understanding is so important. Lisa's experience of losing her husband suddenly, leaving her a widow and single mother of 7 propelled her into writing and speaking on grief to encourage others in their own journeys. She is a sound voice of biblical wisdom and hope! Connect with Lisa: Instagram: @lisaappelo Website: www.lisaappelo.com Connect with Lynnelle!

Each advent season calls us to ponder the promise of Isaiah 9:6, “For a child will be born to us. A son will be given, and the government will rest on his shoulders, and He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of peace.” Scripture uses many names to describe the members of the Trinity, but these names were given in anticipation of Jesus Christ, our Messiah, the King of all kings, and Savior. You may be able to recite these familiar titles from memory, but have you taken time this season to treasure their meaning?  In this episode, Lori talks about Jesus, “Mighty God” How Jesus shows His might in our lives How to create a “Mighty God” list Promises of God's might: “Whose power no foe can withstand” (Psalm 91:2, AMPC). Advent is the time of looking forward to the coming of Jesus, who came as the Lamb of God to take away the sins of the world. Mom, you are in a safe and secure place with Jesus as your Mighty God.  “I am the Alpha and the Omega says the Lord God, the One who is who was and who is to come the Almighty” (Revelation 1:8, NASB).  Other Resources: Wonderful Counselor Podcast episode 88 with Lori Apon Help for the Holidays Podcast episode 85 with Lisa Appelo, Clarissa Moll, and Tara Dickson.

Has God ever answered, "No" to one of your prayer requests? Did you have a hard time accepting when God's answer was "No." I don't know about you, but I think that is a really hard one when we pray fervently, and God does not answer with the way we want him to. I remember that with my friend, we were praying for a miracle for her to be healed, but sadly she wasn't. It was really hard to accept that "No". I am excited to have Hadassah Treu on the podcast this week because she is going to share her story of a time when she had to accept when God answered, "No." I think it is a very powerful episode. Her book is called *Draw Near: How Painful Experiences Become the Birthplace of Blessings. You do not want to miss the truth Hadassah shares; there is so much goodness!

"Do you have two lives? One is the life you wish you had—maybe the one you once had or the one that'll start when God answers that prayer a certain way. The other is your life now. It's imperfect, messy, missing someone you dearly love. It feels sidelined, second best, or on perpetual hold. Today on the Life On Purpose Podcast I am joined by widow, author, and speaker, Lisa Appelo. Lisa shares her story while encouraging us that it is good and right to grieve who we lost. And it's good and right to ask God for our heart's desire. But not to miss out on the one life we do have because of the life wish we had." Enjoy.

“Go with him.” Lisa Appelo heard the whisper as she lay in bed consumed by all the things on her to-do list. She was a busy mom of seven, but her husband, Dan, wanted her to join him on a work trip—a trip she couldn't see how to make happen. But when God nudged her to go, the three days that followed proved to be irreplaceable in ways she could never have imagined.We talk with Lisa about how life changed after those three days, about heart-shattering grief as a wife and a mother, and about how God speaks to His beloved children and gives us hope even in heartbreak.Episode linksFollow Lisa on her website, Facebook, Instagram Get Lisa's Book: Life Can Be Good Again: Putting Your World Back Together After It All Falls ApartFollow So God Made a Mother on Facebook and InstagramFREE 7 Days of Hope for Your Shattered Heart ***Sign up for exclusive podcast emails hereOrder your copy of So God Made a Mother hereFollow Her View From Home on Facebook and InstagramFollow Leslie on Instagram and FacebookFollow Carolyn on Instagram and Facebook

We're talking about where God's grace meets us in our anger. Anger is one of those dirty, little secrets no good Christian woman wants to talk about. We don't like to admit that we can be so easily swayed into an emotion that triggers behavior that is so incredibly ugly.   And yet… we all get angry. Some of us give full vent to our anger, and some of us stuff it down, so it leaks out in weird ways in unrelated moments. Amber and I talk through The two types of anger Whether it's wrong to get angry And what to do with guilt when you reacted in anger. Key Quotes “God has allowed me to use my emotions to serve me, not enslave me.” - Author Amber Lia “We are to hate evil and sin and everything it stands for.” - Author Amber Lia “If we can start to see triggers as opportunities, instead of something for us to get mad and angry and reactionary about, then it changes everything.” - Author Amber Lia “I got tired of operating in the aftermath of chaos.” - Author Amber Lia “How does God draw us to repentance? Oh, it's with His lovingkindness.” - Author Amber Lia “Conviction that is loving will catapult us toward love.” - Author Amber Lia“If you're just stuffing them down, you're not allowing your emotions to serve you. Those emotions are still enslaving you.” - Author Amber Lia “Whatever our emotions are, there should be a healthy outlet for them.” - Author Amber Lia “We have to become advocates for our own lives and our own emotional health and well-being.” - Author Amber Lia “Anger is not your enemy, but you need to direct it toward your enemy.” - Author Amber Lia “Don't heap shame on yourself if you struggle with anger.” - Author Amber Lia As Mentioned in the Podcast The FCC requires that I tell you that I'm an Amazon Affiliate, which means I earn a bit of commission on each sale.

Every area of my life is exposed to the toxic element of feeling less-than.  In my writing, I feel like others are more reflective and thoughtful. On staff at our church, I feel like everyone else in staff meeting is more spiritually mature. In volunteering, I believe the other leaders connect better with the students. So how can we handle feeling less-than in real life? Richella and I talk through The difference between insecurity and a lack of confidence and humility, Healthy and practical ways to quit striving, And how to embrace community when you feel less-than. Key Quotes “Insecurity is a feeling of a lack of assurance about my identity.” - Richella Parham “We want to avoid pride and arrogance, and we want to cultivate the Christian virtue of humility. And we think that self-deprecation and abasement is the way to get there.” - Richella Parham “If only we could think as highly of ourselves as God thinks of us.” - Richella Parham “Any plan to better ourselves based on distorted vision will not lead to the outcome we desire.” - Richella Parham “Our memories are present realities. They are things we're dealing with right now.” - Richella Parham “Vulnerability may lead to embarrassment. Embarrassment is a survivable event.” - Richella Parham “No one's demanding perfection from you today.” - Richella Parham As Mentioned in the Podcast The FCC requires that I tell you that I'm an Amazon Affiliate, which means I earn a bit of commission on each sale.

Maybe your grief is that a child leaves for college this month. Maybe it's that your husband's new job requires him to travel every week, so you feel like a single parent. Maybe you're grieving the end of a long-time friendship. As you listen, ask yourself, “What grief do I face today?” Then allow yourself the space and time to talk with your friend Jesus about it.  Lisa shares how: God's grace sustains us in grief, It's okay if you're not “over” your grief, You can help your children navigate grief And SO MUCH MORE! Key Quotes “If we will do the hard work of grief, we can begin to see life flourish again in new ways.” - Author Lisa Appelo “Grief was learning to live with the love and without my loved one.” - Author Lisa Appelo “We don't just dump out our emotions. The process (of lament) is to take those questions and emotions to God but then to say, “But I trust you.'” - Author Lisa Appelo “Part of lament is just unburdening our heart.” - Author Lisa Appelo “If we do not process grief on our terms now, it's going to come back on its terms later.” - Author Lisa Appelo “I couldn't carry my children's grief but that I would walk with them in it.” - Author Lisa Appelo “When we mask grief or try to escape it or fake it, a lot of times, we can turn bitter because we haven't allowed God to be sovereign.” - Author Lisa Appelo “Grief takes up so much space.” - Author Lisa Appelo “God doesn't give us second best. He would never give His children leftovers of a life.” - Author Lisa Appelo As Mentioned in the Podcast The FCC requires that I tell you that I'm an Amazon Affiliate, which means I earn a bit of commission on each sale.

Childhood should be carefree, right? We hope that our kids make it to adulthood with as few scars as possible, but that isn't the nature of the world we live in. What happens when our kids encounter grief? What happens when we aren't able to give them the childhood we wanted them to have?  This week I talk with Lisa Appelo, widow and mom of seven, who found herself in that spot - grieving the life she wanted for herself and her children, and then having to navigate the shift in every relationship that comes through change or grief. What she has found in the last 11+ years has been the presence of God for her and her kids. The rhythm of their regular bible study was a lifeline and she offers us great encouragement of God's nearness and direct involvement in our lives. Read more of their story in Lisa's new book Life can be Good Again: Putting Your World Back Together After it All Falls Apart. We're taking time this summer (as usual) to be mentored by some experienced moms and benefit from their wisdom. I'm asking them about their “mom brands” and the unique families and assignments God has given them to help us embrace the specific and unique spot God has given each of us.  Discussion Questions: What stood out to you in the episode?  What does family bible reading look like in your home? What is one change you could make to your routine to incorporate some kind of bible reading? Think small! Remember that Lisa says it's a fight to make that space but totally worth it.  Where can you give your kids the freedom to choose, allowing the Lord to work in them independent of your direct guidance? You can think small here too!  Where might you need to step back in your child's life to preserve your relationship with them? What relationships have shifted because of loss or change, big or small?  Spend time praying with and for one another over these relationships and God's good plan for them. (This could feel like an insurmountable question for someone in your group - approach it with empathy and care!)   Connect with Lisa Appelo:  Website:  https://lisaappelo.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisaappeloauthor  Instagram:  @lisaappelo Twitter: @AppeloLisa Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/LisaAppelo/_created/    Links Mentioned:   Life Can be Good Again: Putting Your World Back Together After it All Falls Apart by Lisa Appelo  Hinds' Feet on High Places: An Engaging Visual Journey by Hannah Hurnard  Hinds' Feet on High Places: Children's Edition by Hannah Hurnard  Write the Word Journal for Kids Love God Greatly SOAP Journal One Year Devotional for Boys 2 Related Episodes: How to Fight Fear & Believe in a Faithful God :: Lisa Appelo [Ep 84] Featured Sponsors:  Athletic Greens.
