• How 12 Focused Minutes Could Change Your Life

  Would you believe me if I told you that you have the power to improve your memory, lower your anxiety, decrease your depression, enhance your empathy, improve brain functioning, and even better control your emotions? Would you believe that positive changes could happen in your brain with just 12 focused minutes a day? God has created our brains in such an intentional way, and he's also given us the tools to take captive every thought and increase the health of our own brains. He gave us these tools in the Bible, and science is now catching up to prove what scripture has been trying to teach us all along. So, let's talk about meditation, through both a neuroscience lens and a biblical lens. Should Christians meditate? And if yes, then how should we do it? Click play to find out :) Connect with me on Instagram: @carryconfetti

• The Powerful Impact Faith Has on Your Brain

  Welcome to a March mini series where I'll be unpacking some scientific research that looks at the powerful effects of faith practices on the health of your brain. Could living an active life of faith help you become more compassionate and socially aware? Could living an active life of faith be of benefit not just to your spirit but also to your mental and physical health? Let's see what the research says :) In this episode, you'll discover what led to me falling in love with psychology, and I'll also share a neuroscientist's top 8 ways to exercise your brain. In the coming weeks, we will do a deep dive on Christian meditation, a healthy view of God, and explore the practice of prayer. How could all of these lead to a life of hopeful expectation? Subscribe to the show to find out. I hope these coming episodes not only inspire you but also compel you to try out some of the "Confetti Recipes" I'll give to you at the end of each episode. Enjoy! Connect with me on Instagram: @carryconfetti

• Gimme That Bison Boldness

  Welcome to Episode 5, the final part of these introduction episodes that give you more insight into my story and what has led up to the moment of launching this podcast.Episode 4 covered Part 1 of Elijah the prophet's story, and today I'm bringing you Part 2. Sometimes, after we have a mountain peak moment or we receive a miracle or an answer to prayer, we can still find ourselves facing challenges. You can be living in an answered prayer and still be exhausted. You can be living in an answered prayer and still wrestle with God. You can be living in an answered prayer and face new battles.I was living with my promised "rain" (my son) while I walked through a stormy pregnancy with daughter. It was an entirely new emotional battle I had never fought before, but God was able to bring me strength in the middle of the storm. God was able to bring me to the other side of the storm.Most importantly, God never left me alone in that storm. I pray that this episode reminds you that you, too, are not alone. The Lord of heaven's armies can bring you strength, protection, and resilience if you let him.He is the anchor for our hopeful expectation and our daily celebration. Connect with me on Instagram: @carryconfetti

• A Prophet, a Prayer, and Miraculous Provision

  Have you ever been in a drought season? You know, one of those seasons that just feels dry and barren? Today, let me introduce you to one of my favourite Bible characters, Elijah the prophet. His story is a bit of a longer one, so this episode will be Part 1 of his story. Next week, I'll give you Part 2 -- both important but different ends of the emotional spectrum.My "rain" was my son -- God's miraculous provision after what felt like a drought season of infertility. He was our answer to prayer.I believe that your "rain" is on its way :)Connect with me on Instagram: @carryconfetti

• Clay Jars & Golden Scars: A Story of Suffering and Restoration

  Sometimes, life can shatter us... into a million pieces. And sometimes, we don't know how to rebuild our hearts, our minds, and our lives after certain events.But I know a God who is our great physician and our healer. He looks at our brokenness and is able to form something so beautiful.Today, let me tell you my story about an early miscarriage that took place after we had been told we had unexplained infertility. I'm going to tell you this story through the lens of Joel (a prophet in the Old Testament) to show you that God doesn't ignore our suffering. In fact, he has future blessing and restoration for us if only we would trust him. Maybe get the tissues for this episode, but I promise you that there is hope and celebration that followed the suffering. And I believe that blessing and restoration is in your future too.Connect with me on Instagram: @carryconfetti
