Good morning, beautiful souls, and welcome to Mornings with Monette! I'm Monette, your guide to living with purpose and faith, and I'm thrilled you're here today. Buckle up for a game-changing episode: “The Mindset That Stops You from Moving Forward.” We're diving into the battle between “I can't do this” and “I can't do this yet.” That tiny word—yet—is a spark of hope, a doorway to growth, and a nod to God's promise that your story isn't finished. From my own tennis court fumbles to wrestling with new challenges like sending a future email, I've seen how “I can't” traps us, while “I can't yet” sets us free. Think of Peter stepping out on the water—doubt sank him, but faith kept him moving forward. Today, I'm challenging you to catch your “I can't” moments, add “yet,” and take one small step toward progress. Whether it's your spiritual walk, your business dreams, or resisting that donut, mindset matters! Join me as we explore practical steps to shift from stuck to unstoppable, with a sprinkle of grace and a whole lot of faith. Don't miss this—subscribe to Mornings with Monette, share it with a friend, and let's keep growing together! See you next week for more mindset shifts from a Christian perspective.

In this episode of Mornings with Monette, I'm talking about shifting from a certainty mindset to a curious one, all through a Christian perspective. With spring here, I'm reflecting on some personal moments-birthdays, family visits, and five years of podcasting-and using that as a backdrop to explore how the way we think affects our lives.We'll look at the difference between holding on tightly to certainty, which can keep us stuck and afraid of change, versus embracing curiosity, which opens us up to growth and God's plan. Using examples from the Bible, like the Israelites in the wilderness and Jesus' questions, I'll encourage you to check your thinking, move past fear, and practice curiosity through prayer, wonder, and community.This episode is practical and rooted in scripture, with a clear call to trade prideful certainty for humble, faith-filled curiosity. If you're ready to stop fearing the unknown and start trusting God's surprises, this is for you.

Good morning, and welcome to a very special episode of Mornings with Monette! I'm beyond thrilled to celebrate five incredible years of this podcast with you—my amazing listeners. Whether you've been with me for hundreds of episodes or this is your first time tuning in, I can't thank you enough for being part of this journey. In this milestone episode, I'm taking a heartfelt walk down memory lane, revisiting the early days when I launched the podcast at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. I recently listened to my first 10 episodes—wow, they were raw and real! Recording during those uncertain times, with fear and chaos swirling, brought me right back to 2020. I'll share a wild story from when my husband and I were in India at a Christian orphanage, hearing whispers of a virus in China and racing against rumors of halted international travel. From masked travelers in Dubai to making it home just as the world shut down, those moments shaped the start of this podcast. Join me for a nostalgic, inspiring reflection on five years of growth, connection, and thousands of downloads—made possible by you!

Can "quantum biology" explain why even the healthiest people are still getting sick? In this episode, Dr. Alison Monette reveals why circadian rhythm health is the true foundation of wellness, not diet, exercise, or even supplements. She explains how morning sunlight, light exposure, and your alignment with natural cycles may matter more than anything else you're doing right now.We go deep into how Dr. Monette went from owning a CrossFit gym and practicing functional medicine, to discovering that even those models were still too centralized. Through her personal health journey and treating thousands of patients, she realized that quantum biology and decentralized health are the missing pieces, especially for those who are doing everything “right” and still not getting results.This conversation is for anyone who's burned out on biohacking, confused by contradictory nutrition advice, or who wants a simple, grounded way to build resilient, lifelong health. We unpack why blue light may be silently wrecking your sleep, how to use sunlight to reset your metabolism, and why your mitochondria are the real key to wellness. It's not about optimizing harder, it's about aligning smarter.If you've ever felt like modern life is out of sync with your biology, this episode will hit home.

What colors paint your mental landscape? Are they vibrant and life-giving, or dull and limiting? In this thought-provoking exploration of mindset, John Thurman weaves ancient wisdom and modern psychological research to offer a uniquely Christian perspective on personal growth and transformation.Drawing from the profound words of Marcus Aurelius that "your soul takes on the color of your thoughts," alongside biblical warnings against double-mindedness, Thurman creates a compelling case for developing what psychologist Dr. Carol Dweck calls a "growth mindset." He contrasts the limitations of a fixed mindset—believing talents and abilities are static—with the liberating perspective that we can grow through effort, learning, and perseverance.The episode walks listeners through biblical examples of growth mindset in action, from Deborah's courageous leadership and David's journey from shepherd to king, to Ruth's risk-taking adventure and Peter's remarkable transformation after his failures. These stories illuminate how faith and psychological principles complement our spiritual development.Most valuably, Thurman provides ten practical, actionable strategies for cultivating a growth mindset within a Christian framework. These range from embracing spiritual growth as a lifelong journey and viewing challenges as opportunities to journaling insights and actively engaging with a church community. Each strategy is grounded in scripture while incorporating evidence-based approaches to mindset transformation.Ready to break free from limiting beliefs and experience the vibrant colors of transformed thinking?

On June 14, 2000, there was a huge storm brewing in northeast Arkansas. It had been raining heavily all day and according to local weather data, tornados had hit. Over 100 trees were downed, power lines were down and homes were destroyed.  Twenty year old Amanda Tusing was hanging out with her fiancé, Matt Ervin, at his apartment in Jonesboro. Amanda lived 40 miles away in Dell, Arkansas, which is in Mississippi County, with her father Ed, her mother Susan and her twin brother, Andy. She also had an older brother who worked out of state.  Matt didn't want her to go home that night. It was about a 45-minute drive on a good day, and the weather was bad, but Amanda wanted to get home. So she left Jonesboro at around 11:30 pm and should have gotten home around 12:30 at the latest. Amanda told Matt that she would call him from her parents landline as soon as she got home. She did have a cell phone but never kept it charged. But Matt never got that call and by 1:30 he was concerned. Matt called Amanda's mother, Susan Tusing, and woke her up. She went to check to see if Amanda was in bed, and when she went into her bedroom, she saw that the bed had not been slept in and that Amanda was not home.  This was totally unlike her, and they knew something happened. So her dad and brother drove toward Dell, and Matt left his house in Jonesboro and started driving down Highway 18 in the opposite direction. Their plan was that they would meet in the middle and hopefully see her or her car along the route.   Matt saw her 1992 Pontiac Grand Am parked under a streetlight on the shoulder of AR Highway 18 about a mile west of the small town of Monette. It was on the side of the road and looked like it was parked there intentionally - not like she randomly swerved over. Matt got out of his car, walked over and looked inside.  If you have a case you'd like Catherine Townsend to look into, you can reach out to us at our Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
