Podcasts about why joy

 After spending five weeks in joy, we now come to a passage that answers the question, “Why is joy so hard to find?” The Apostle Paul gives us some helpful insight and a huge encouragement. The post Why Joy is Hard to Find first appeared on Vineyard.

Daniel made his first million at 20 years old. And was a millionaire for about 6 months before losing it all...He went from a place of shallow, blind faith in his capacity to create, to a man pondering the thought of taking his own life.Over the next number of years, he "accidentally reprogrammed his mind" to choose life and get out of the chase.Our guest today is a man with a beautiful accent and an even more beautiful story, Daniel Mangena.We get into the power of sharing the “crap” in your life (not just the good stuff). And how stepping into vulnerability was the first step in Daniel turning his life around.How once we accept the deeply rooted shame experiences in our life, it becomes much easier to accept the other imperfections that make us human.We go deep on the concept of growth. Why Daniel still invests thousands of dollars in personal development each year and why there is some truth to the saying "when you stop growing you start dying". And how growth doesn't look the same to all people.We talk the cliched topic of "finding your purpose". Why we should stop putting so much pressure on finding our purpose and why maybe there isn’t even a singular purpose for our life but that maybe it is something that changes moment to moment.Why JOY can be the guide for finding our "unique role".Enjoy.To connect with Daniel:Website (visit and join his mailing list for free giveaways)Instagram (@dreamerceo)BooksPodcast (Do It With Dan)

Getting the WHYS in Faith #2 "Why Joy" by Russ Siders

In a world that seems almost fully-focussed on online and digital marketing, it may come as a surprise to some that physical means are still used to grow companies and for them to become known. PostcardMania is a very successful company in this line of work, using direct mail marketing to help their clients get the word out on their offers. They are a really great example of how older techniques and styles of marketing can still work in a contemporary context. The company was founded 21 years ago by Joy Gendusa, who we are so happy to welcome to the show today. They mostly serve small businesses and are up to about 60 million in revenue this year! Their pricing model is competitive but not comparatively cheap, and Joy explains how she pegs this. We talk about the history of the company and the organic growth that Joy has experienced over the last decades. She opens up about her target audience and the ways that have provided her with the biggest opportunities to scale and grow her team. Joy credits a lot of her success to her team, believing she leads a group of superheroes! We discuss their company culture, important practices and some of the perks and facilities at the office. So for all of this great stuff and to learn about a slightly different model for marketing, be sure to listen in!

Get the full show notes at www.trishblackwell.com/391 In this episode of The Confidence Podcast we're talking about: How to get more peace in your life, more specifically, 37 ways to do so The shifts I have made that helped me turn my anxiety into joy Why joy and peace will make you more confident REVIEW OF THE WEEEK: Time well spent! 5 stars, by Ashtyn C This review is long overdue. Trish is an amazing source of light and encouragement! She gives practical advice and incredible insight. As an avid reader myself (and forever the knowledge seeker), I appreciate the work she puts into her content. This has been a podcast staple for me for several years now. Listening to her podcast is always time well spent! Highly recommend! WHY JOY & PEACE WILL MAKE YOU MORE CONFIDENT: Joy is sustained, deep happiness; radiance, if you will. It takes something beautiful and makes it magnetic. Peace is confidence. It is security, safety, presence, and an absence of anxiety, strife, turmoil, pressure, or anything that is typically related to insecurity or self-criticism. The core issue of most confidence challenges is a lack of peace. I struggled with confidence because I didn't have peace in who I was, in my body weight, in my place in the world, in whether or not I was loved and belonged, etc. You will live in peace and joy. The mountains and hills will burst into song and the trees of the field will clap their hands. Isaiah 55:12 37 WAYS TO GET MORE JOY AND PEACE IN YOUR LIFE Joy and peace are the opposite of how I would have described my life prior to my work in confidence coaching. They are not adjectives I would have ever chosen to describe myself. I didn't have joy - I was focused and self-critical. I didn't have peace - I was always pushing myself harder. I didn't have joy - I wasn't sure how to be myself, or if I was allowed to be. I didn't have peace - I felt like I was behind. I didn't have joy - I thought life was supposed to be super serious. I didn't have peace - I worried that God was disappointed in me and He felt far from m. I didn't have joy - I was stuck in addiction and numbing, and didn't have full access to full emotions I didn't have peace - I didn't know how to accept love and be present 1. Journal daily 2. Intentionally detox my toxic thoughts 3. Remember that if I'm growing, I'm going 4. Mindfully choose peace, not pressure 5. Spend more time laughing 6. Sit on the floor more 7. Frequent outside walks without technology 8. Meditate and proclaim the phrase: God, I trust You. 9. Gratitude journaling 10. Flash gratitude. 11. Less TV at night 12. Established nighttime routine 13. Consistent mental wellness with my therapist 14. Patience by focusing on progress, not perfection 15. Celebration of progress with champagne moments 16. Permission to do less 17. The daily goal of learning, not accomplishing 18. Reduced exposure to things that drive comparison in my mind 19. Writing out my prayers, increase conversation with the Lord 20. Exercise to feel alive, not to burn calories 21. Dates with family members - making time for people 22. People over projects (needing to remind my self of what often should be obvious) 23. Explore creative expression - dance, writing, songs, organization, coloring 24. Hopeful confidence in what doors God will open (focus, not a feeling; focus on his faithfulness) 25. More attachment to the process than the outcome. 26. Renewed willingness to fail, fall or have a setback - because it's all ultimately a setup 27. The enthusiasm that flows freely, without fear judgment (I uber-embrace the little things) 28. Focus on faithfulness - trust that God will provide (Isaiah 58:11) 29.

Joy Marsalla earned a master’s degree inEnvironmental Engineering degree from Arizona State and is a sustainable Chemicals Manager at Nike.

These days it seems that everyone is pursuing happiness.  We try just about anything to make ourselves happy.  But God has promised something greater to those that believe on Jesus Christ.  God promised joy. The Difference Happiness is external.  Happiness is based on our circumstances.  If you have a good meal, your happy.  If your loved one gives you a kiss, your happy. A good night's sleep and you're happy.  Happiness is external. Happiness is based on your circumstances. Joy is internal. And joy is not based on your circumstances.  True joy comes from God. Let's learn three simple truths about joy. Joy & Salvation Luke 10:17-20 teaches that joy should not be based on what we have done, but joy is to be based on our salvation. We respond in joy to God when we think about the great gift of salvation that God has given. We deserve death and hell.  God, though is merciful. God does not give you what you deserve. Instead He gives you eternal life with Him.  That makes us rejoice. Joy & The Spirit There is a dynamic element to joy.  Joy is eternal, but day to day, joy can change. Look at Galatians 5:16.  Believers are commanded to walk in the Spirit. Life is a journey, and as we walk God tells us to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. What is the result of walking in this way? Galatians 5:22-23 tells us that joy is a fruit, or a result of walking in the Spirit.  Walk as you should and joy will flow out of you. Joy & Suffering When we suffer, joy is the correct response.  James 1:2 Why? Joy makes us stronger.  James 1:2-5 and 1 Peter 1:6-9 Suffering cannot remove your salvation, so joy is eternal.  Romans 8:38-39 Suffering allows us to experience the life of Christ.  Hebrews 12:2 How to Get Joy Joy comes when you put your trust in Jesus Christ, God the Son. All are removed from God.  Why? Because of sin.  So sin or sinful people can never be with God.  That means everyone is separated from God, because everyone has this sin problem. Romans 3:23 But God has provided a way.  He gave His Son Jesus that if you believe on Him you will have everlasting life.  John 3:16 Please turn away from your sinful ways and believe on Jesus. Believe that He died on the cross for YOUR SIN.  If you do this, then you will receive eternal life and you will receive eternal joy.

Joy is a Registered Nurse, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and a Public Health Nurse. She is the Director of the Natural Family Planning Program at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Centre in Spokane Washington. Joy and her Natural Family Planning students began studying the effects of night lighting on the menstrual cycle in 1976. Joy is the author of the book Effect of Light on the Menstrual Cycle and Fertility and her work has highlighted the significant impact of light on the menstrual cycle and fertility. In today’s show, we talk about Joy’s research and how limiting our exposure to light at nighttime can improve menstrual cycle health and fertility. We also talk about the philosophy behind Natural Family Planning which gives a window into the differences and similarities between Natural Family Planning and the Fertility Awareness Method. (Skip ahead to the 45-minute mark if you want to go straight to the discussion of the light elimination technique! Topics discussed in today's episode What led Joy to discover that the menstrual cycle can be regulated by having women sleep in complete darkness How does exposure to light at nighttime interfere with hormone production? The connection between light exposure at nighttime and melatonin production and how that impacts the menstrual cycle What does a normal/healthy cycle look like? How many days of cervical mucus should a woman have in a healthy cycle? What are the 3 fertile signs and how can a woman use these signs to identify her fertile days? If a woman's menstrual cycle falls outside of this normal/healthy range how can sleeping in darkness improve her cycle? The philosophy behind Natural Family Planning and how it differs from the Fertility Awareness Method What is a "contact pregnancy"? Why Joy teaches the light elimination technique as a standard part of her Natural Family Planning classes How dark does it have to be for it to be effective? And why even the smallest light exposure can interfere with normal hormone production Using the light elimination technique to improve various menstrual cycle irregularities including lengthening a short luteal phase, restoring a normal cervical mucus pattern, correcting the length of the menstrual cycle, and addressing repeated miscarriages Connect with Joy You can connect with Joy via email!
