Episode 4 of "Choose Joy in the Mess" Series.

Perfectionism whispers that we have to do more, be more, and get it all right; but joy doesn't live in perfection. It lives in grace. In this episode, I'll share how control, gratitude, and joy are all connected, and what happens when we stop striving to please everyone and start living for an audience of One. You'll be encouraged to catch those "should" thoughts and trade them for peace, presence, and God's unconditional love.

Episode 3 of "Choose Joy in the Mess" Series

What if joy isn't waiting for you at the end of a perfect day...but hidden in the middle of the messy, ordinary moments you already have?

In this episode, I share how to slow down, notice God's presence, and practice joy right where you are: folding laundry, sipping coffee, driving kids to school, or washing dishes. Joy is not about perfection or performance; it's about presence.

Through scripture and practical reflection, you'll be reminded that the small, sacred seconds of everyday life can become holy ground when you choose to see God in them.

When life feels messy or out of control, gratitude becomes the gateway back to joy. In this episode, I share how choosing thankfulness even in the chaos can shift your heart, renew your perspective, and draw you closer to God's peace.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18
