What aspects of your faith would you consider to be creative? If you are having a hard time thinking of any, you’re not alone. Almost every five-year-old believes he or she is creative, but very few adults do. God is a creative God. And He made you to be creative! Today’s guest, Pam Farrel, shares how she discovered Bible art and how it has impacted her faith. Notable quotes: · “The purpose isn’t to become the world’s greatest Bible artist who has her work in the Louvre. It’s to help you grow with God.” · “The second thing I love and is so about the character of God in that if you are doing anything creative . . . the part of your brain where your problems reside is taken offline because the creative part has more power.” · “Being creative will actually help your problems go away.” Bible verses: · Psalm 42:7,8, 11 · Psalm 23 · Psalm 5:12 · Isaiah 61:3 Connect with Pam Farrel: · Her website: www.love-wise.com · Facebook: www.facebook.com/pamelafarrel.author.3 · Instagram: www.instagram.com/lovewise62 Send me a COMMENT or QUESTION!

How have you seen God’s fingerprints during your challenges? It could've been the right person at the right time. Or the cancerous mass no longer showing on the scan. Or your bills being paid by an unknown source. God IS with us during our challenges. And He still does miracles. Today’s guest, author and speaker Pam Farrel, shares about how challenges with her weight, being diagnosed with diabetes, being put into a medically induced coma after going into diabetic ketosis, being diagnosed with ovarian cancer were tough. But God left His fingerprints during each of them. She sought to learn what God wanted to teach her during those times. Notable quotes: · “At the end of that year, I lost fifty pounds. And eventually lost seventy. And for a decade, I’ve kept it off.” · “So it was a huge victory. But it was also a huge wake up call.” · “From the moment I went into my coma, God was wrapped around me.” · “I’m still restoring, rejuvenating, refreshing, rebuilding. I need resilience. And God is the one who arms me with strength day by day by day.” Bible verses: · 1 Corinthians 11:1 · Ephesians 3:20 · Fight verse ~ Psalm 18:32 · Philippians 1:11 Connect with Pam Farrel: · Her website: www.love-wise.com · Facebook: www.facebook.com/pamelafarrel.author.3 · Instagram: www.instagram.com/lovewise62 Send me a COMMENT or QUESTION!

Stephanie sits down with Pam Farrel to discuss a harrowing yet faith-affirming journey through unexpected medical emergencies, profound spiritual experiences in Christ, and the indomitable power of joy. Pam's story is not just one of survival but of thriving through adversity, guided by God’s presence, Pam’s steadfast faith, and the prayers of many. Heaven’s Glimpse and Joy’s Power During a medical emergency, Pam felt God's peace envelop her as she transitioned into a medically induced coma. In this state of near-death, she was ushered into heaven, welcomed by angels of various ethnicities, and enveloped in a sacred dance above the gates of glory. Experiencing deep peace and engaging in a mental conversation with God, she saw visions of her loved ones benefiting from her prayers. Her profound spiritual encounter with Christ reaffirmed her mission on earth and underscored the miraculous elements of her faith journey. A Family Visit Turned Medical Emergency What started as a joyful family gathering in Salt Lake City for Mother's Day turned into a harrowing experience for Pam Farrel. In the middle of the night, severe pain led Pam to the emergency room.. The diagnosis was clear: the chilling reality of stage 1 ovarian cancer. Always seeing the bright side of her circumstances, Pam reminds us of the blessing that pain can be, in the crucial role pain played in alerting her to the severity of her condition. Pain allowed for an early diagnosis that is rare with ovarian cancer, which is often not detected until it reaches stage 4. Pam was transferred to a main hospital where a divine coincidence awaited—a Christian oncologist familiar with her book, "Men Are Like Waffles, Women Are Like Spaghetti." Pam’s journey through six rounds of chemotherapy three weeks apart, her struggle with hair loss, and her graceful acceptance of these side effects paint a portrait of resilience. Throughout, Pam continued to contribute to her ministry and even received a Life Impact Award at the Golden Scrolls. Rebuilding and Cultivating Joy Pam’s recovery period with her son’s family demonstrated the importance of a supportive community. Despite undergoing rigorous treatments, Pam persisted in her work, mentoring others, and presenting at conferences. She emphasizes the key importance of joy, especially during adversity. Pam shares her methods for cultivating joy, including: · Proactive Joy : Create a list of simple, joy-inducing activities and commit to one daily. · Reflective Joy : Maintain a gratitude journal to note everyday blessings. · Rejoice in the Lord : See joy as a proactive choice, focusing on calming actions during stressful times. · Creative Joy : Engage in creative activities like Bible art doodling to shift focus away from problems. · Interactive Joy : Use joy to enhance relationships, making interactions more positive.

Did you know recent studies show that less than 20% of us say we’re happy? Clearly, we need more joy! This is why I’m thrilled to welcome the amazing Pam Farrell to the podcast today. As my conversation with Pam unfolded, a remarkable narrative of resilience and joy was unveiled in the face of adversity. Picture this: waking up from a diabetic coma, and instead of sinking into despair, you find a renewed sense of purpose and joy. Pam's journey is not only inspiring, but it also serves as a potent reminder of how we can find joy in unexpected places - even in a hospital room. She showed us that by fostering a relationship with Jesus, we can discover an inexhaustible source of joy. In the second half of our chat, Pam digs into joy's profound power and importance. With wisdom from personal experience, she shares how joy acts as a protective shield in our lives, enhancing our relationships and overall quality of life. She also shares some brilliant and practical suggestions to make every day a celebration of joy. After all, joy is not just an emotion; it's a way of life. So, let's start nurturing joy, one day at a time.

GET YOUR FREE DEVOTION: Grace to Grow: A 5-Day Study of Patience and Prayer We've been talking all this month about our children's purpose. And in the big picture, the message that I've tried to make run throughout each episode is that the main purpose God has for our children doesn't have anything to do with what they do for a living, or what job they have, or even what person they marry. Ultimately, God's purpose, in Christ, for each believer is to love God and love their neighbors as themselves. If we took just an hour, and tried to write down all the ways the Bible tells us to do live this out, we'd quickly find that doing these two things would take up most of our time. And it's my belief that when we focus our time being faithful to this, God tends to make our paths straight. But today, I want to talk about learning to see those unique giftings each child has from God so we can help them step into the practical ways God might call them as individuals to love God and love their neighbors.

SCRIPTURES My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path. Proverbs 2:1-9 NIV This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 ESV It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.

Join Carol McLeod today for an exciting conversation with prolific author and speaker Pam Farrel! Along with her husband Bill, Pam authored the best-seller Men Are Like Waffles, Women Are Like Spaghetti , and has authored or co-authored over 50 books, like her latest: Discovering Good News in John: A Creative Devotional Study Experience. Two phrases sum up Pam’s approach to life: ‘Choosing Joy!’ and ‘One ordinary woman connected to the extra-ordinary God can make a difference!’ These sayings captured Pam’s heart because they sum up her experience. “I am the first-born daughter of an alcoholic father with severe rage issues. I often thought our family would make the headlines but for all the wrong reasons. When I was 8 years-old, however, a family friend saw the chaos we were living in and invited us to attend church with her. There I saw what real love looked like.” Having discovered peace and focus in her life, she is motivated to help women everywhere uncover their potential through a life of confidence and courage.

Farrel encourages listeners with the following key points: Practice creative ways to celebrate with deeper meaning and less expense. Give your blessings and genuine words of encouragement. Those who grieve may want to honor the memories of those they've lost. Instead of trying to suppress grief, acknowledge it and plan accordingly. Plan a place for God to meet you in the middle of your emotions. Consider the names of God and how his identity offers hope and resurrection power in the midst of our circumstances. Surround yourself with positive elements to uplift all five senses. Monitor the type of input you're allowing into your mind. Be your own best cheerleader.
