Send us a textHave you ever wondered why joy feels fleeting, especially when life's challenges seem relentless? As Christian women, we know that joy is a fruit of the Spirit, but how do we cultivate it in our everyday lives? In this episode, we're diving deep into the intersection of faith, neuroscience, and practical spiritual practices to help us experience lasting joy, even in the midst of trials.In this insightful conversation, Asheritah Ciuciu and Angie Elkins explore the profound connection between joy, obedience, and our brain's ability to change. They discuss the concept of neuroplasticity—how our brains can adapt and grow—and how daily practices centered on mindfulness, worship, and recognizing God's presence can actively rewire our minds toward joy.Asheritah shares practical ways to navigate fear and anxiety, emphasizing the importance of grounding ourselves in prayer and being mindful of God's presence. They discuss how worship—whether through singing, resting, or simple acts done with a heart focused on God—can become a lifestyle that fosters joy.Joy doesn't come from perfect circumstances—it comes from a heart fixed on God. If this conversation spoke to you, we'd love for you to share it with others who could use a little extra joy in their lives.

Today on the Daring to Rest Podcast we are celebrating our 100th episode.
There's a question at the heart of the new book “Delighting in Jesus” that caught my attention: it says, “I know I should read by Bible and pray every day, but I'm just not consistent. For many Christians, ‘daily devotions' and ‘spiritual disciplines' strike guilt and shame in our hearts. But what if we got it all wrong? What if our Christian experience hinges not on perfect spiritual disciplines, but on the perfect love of a Father who delights in us?” This has been a topic I've been interested in for a while now: what does relationship with Jesus really mean. And now there's a new word entering the conversation: delight. We often talk about joy or happiness, but I'm so grateful to my guest today, Asheritah Ciuciu, for focusing in on the word delight. Asheritah is the host of the Prayers of Rest Podcast and author of many books including Full, Bible & Breakfast, Walking with God, and her latest, Delighting in Jesus. In this conversation, Asheritah and I talk about why “delight” is an important word when thinking about our relationship with Jesus, why we don't need to be afraid of being broken, how to build your joy center in your brain, and much more. I want to note too, in the show notes for episode you'll find links to purchase Delighting in Jesus (which I highly recommend) and also a link to a devotional personality quiz that will help you understand better how God created you to feel most connected to him. I hope you enjoy both of these resources. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland. It premiered in 2017 and now offers more than 400 episodes.

Mike Bergin and Amy Seeley of the Tests and the Rest Podcast are two of the most knowledgeable college prep experts on the planet. Their guests are always interesting and informative. I always learn something from every episode. Episode 561 (April 9, 2024), titled “Power Dynamics in College Admission,” featuring Debra Landesberg of My College Resource, was particularly interesting and inspired this article. Will you be able to help your 18-year old in an emergency? GET A YOUNG ADULT POWER OF ATTORNEY from Mama Bear Legal Forms.
In this episode, Lisa, Amy, and Mike discuss:How to know if your teen could benefit from test prep or can go at it alone. What to look for when assessing the quality of different test prep options.The differences between working with independent tutors and working with Big Box Companies. Advice for your family on best practices for reaching goal scores. Key Takeaways: Preparing for a test is like learning anything else - most people need a teacher, coach, or tutor to learn best and prepare. Utilizing official test preparation materials is an important part of preparing for standardized exams. They are the best for understanding how your student will likely perform on the exam. School counselors cannot endorse any particular test prep tutors, but they may still have individuals they could recommend based on the experience of their students and word of mouth.While you vet your student's test prep provider, they also vet your student's willingness and motivation. “One of the values of a good test prep person or expert is they make the process more efficient, they make it more effective. And that goes a long way with students who are busy and looking for results as quickly as possible.” – Amy SeeleyAbout Amy Seeley: Amy Seeley, a formally certified and licensed secondary education teacher, received her degree from John Carroll University. She began her career in test preparation in 1994 working for Princeton Review. After gaining valuable knowledge and experience as a part-time tutor, she turned that passion into a career with Townsend Learning Centers. About Mike Bergin: After 30 years of experience in every aspect of standardized test preparation, Mike Bergin knows what works in test prep and what doesn't. A nationally recognized leader in test prep, Mike founded Chariot Learning in 2009 to deliver on the promise of what truly transformative, individualized education can and should be. Besides overseeing Chariot Learning's national programs, Mike is an ACT Certified Educator who trains teachers across the country to implement critical skills and college and career readiness standards.Episode References:Tests and the Rest Podcast, The Reality of Grade Inflation: gettestbright.com/the-reality-of-grade-inflationLisa on Tests and the Rest, Strategies for Selecting a College Major on Time: gettestbright.com/strategies-for-selecting-a-college-major-on-time#060 Say Goodbye to the Paper SAT Test with David Blobaum#015 Unplanned Career Paths with Mike Bergin#061 COVID Impact on College Admissions with Amy Seeley and Cristiana QuinnGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret).flourishcoachingco.com/videoConnect with Amy & Mike:Website: testsandtherest.comAmy's Website: seeleytestpros.comMike's Website: chariotlearning.comRoots2Words: roots2words.comTest Prep Tribe: facebook.com/groups/testpreptribeConnect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co
I recently had the privilege of speaking with Lisa Marker Robbins of Flourish Coaching. From her early days as a classroom teacher to the establishment of LEAP, a test prep, tutoring, and independent college counseling organization, Lisa has positively impacted thousands of students. In 2021, Lisa's commitment led her to start Flourish Coaching to guide students and young adults through her 5 part framework, providing career clarity for life after graduation. In our conversation, Lisa shared: Why “beginning with the end in mind” is essential for college and career success. What “high value” extracurriculars are, and why they are important. How extracurriculars impact college admissions and scholarship success. How college major clarity impacts a student's ability to gain admittance into their preferred college and scholarships. How jobs fit into a student's extracurricular profile. Access Lisa's free on-demand video about how to guide your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...

When you look at the world around you, do you feel fearful of the future?My kids are quite young... they're 9, 7, and 5. Fear is kind of a big thing with them, whether it's being afraid of the dark or a new social interaction.One of the things that I will say to them is this psalm set to song: "When I am afraid, I will trust in you." (Psalm 56:3)We sing it together at bedtime or before a scary encounter and I wonder... Maybe sometimes as adults, we need that same reminder.

Do you ever skip to the end of a book to find out what happens?There are times when I'm reading a novel and there's a battle scene that is just so intense, or there's a season for the protagonist that is just so hopeless, that part of me wants to skip forward to the end just make sure everyone's going to be okay! And I wonder sometimes if we wish we had the end of our story…In the midst of the hard that we're going through, in the midst of the very real spiritual warfare that we are a part of, the truth is we do have the end of the story. And that ending should give us great hope.This spring on the Prayers of REST Podcast we are praying through the Armor of God as we rest in the victory of Christ.

When it comes to spiritual warfare, I'll be the first to admit there's a lot I don't know…I feel like an absolute kindergartner when it comes to these things, but I can read Scripture and recognize that there are realities at work that I might not understand.One of those spiritual realities is that there are strongholds in this world. There are strong towers set up by the enemy that are hard ground to gain.In my own life, I've seen that in the stronghold of food fixation, where I felt like I just can't overcome this obsession. And yet I've experienced in my life the power of Christ Jesus to demolish those strongholds, and that is what I invite you to experience in prayer with me today.This spring on the Prayers of REST Podcast we are praying through the Armor of God as we rest in the victory of Christ.

As a child, whenever I heard people talking about the Armor of God in church, usually there was this sketch of a Roman soldier that had the helmet and the belt and the shoes…And typically the Armor of God ended with the Sword of the Spirit. But when we look at Ephesians 6, there is one very important weapon that we cannot afford to overlook, and yet I think it is the one that we disregard most often: the weapon of prayer.This spring on the Prayers of REST Podcast we are praying through the Armor of God as we rest in the victory of Christ.

If we are told to put on the Armor of God in our stand against Satan, it would stand to reason that Jesus Christ Himself did that when He went against Satan in the wilderness in His 40 days of testing…Nowhere is this more clear than in the way that Jesus responds to those three temptations. Did you notice that every time Jesus is tempted, He responds to Satan with scripture?The only offensive weapon we're given in the Armor of God is the Sword of the Spirit and we see Jesus wielding that Sword powerfully.

When I was a child, I used to spend so much time looking out a window daydreaming.I mean, my mind would just run away from me! As a child, it was fine, but the problem comes when, as adults, we still do not reign in our thoughts.This is where part of this spiritual war is fought. Our fears, worries, fantasies, and feelings will try to take over, but we are not left without defense.God has given us His armor, and he's given us something to protect our minds: the Helmet of Salvation.This spring on the Prayers of REST Podcast we are praying through the Armor of God as we rest in the victory of Christ.

When the enemy shoots his fiery arrows, will you be ready?You know how in movies that portray ancient battles, there would be archers that shoot flaming arrows over the city they're trying to capture? The soldiers on the inside of the city are so busy trying to put out fires that they're distracted from the enemy line that is advancing and trying to barge through the gate.Well, it was a common tactic back in the day and Scripture says that there's a very similar strategy that the enemy uses against us. His fiery arrows are pointed at us so that we might be so busy chasing down little things that we forget the main thing.We take our eyes off of Jesus because we're so busy putting out little fires. But God has given us armor to counter the enemy's strategy: the Shield of Faith.This spring on the Prayers of REST Podcast we are praying through the Armor of God as we rest in the victory of Christ.

Do you know what the devil's favorite weapon is?Think about it for a moment. Can you picture it? It might surprise you. I'm firmly convinced that the devil's favorite weapon is lies.Think back to the Garden of Eden. That's how he got Eve… He deceived her with a lie, a half-truth.And think about how he tempted Jesus in the wilderness… It was by taking scripture and twisting it into half-truths, charging at Him with lies. So it's no surprise that when we are told to put on the Armor of God, the very first piece we are told to put on has to do with confronting the lies of the enemy: the Belt of Truth.This spring on the Prayers of REST Podcast we are praying through the Armor of God as we rest in the victory of Christ.

Have you ever had that terrible dream where you're in a public place in your underwear?I have, and it's terrifying because none of us in our right mind would wake up and forget to put clothes on.
