Last episode we left you with a few questions to ponder: Is life just supposed to be hard, especially as a christian, or is there any way to build our capacity to handle struggles in life?
In this episode we will puzzle over how we CAN grow in capacity to navigate struggles in life and regain wholeness. Join us as the puzzlers discuss ruptures, repairs, rebuilds and resilience. Along with a lot of laughter we get pretty excited as we springboard off one another with discoveries we've each had in cultivating self awareness of our personal capacity to not just live holy but feel whole. Connect with us as we share deep aha moments that increased our ability to live in peace versus fractured from our best version of ourselves. We talk about perceptions, expectations, building reserves, honoring our personal limits, as well as necessary permissions we need to give ourselves to fuel with joy in a fractured world.

You are invited into our conversation as we open up our hearts to share about this vulnerable, and all too familiar, piece of life’s puzzle.

If you ever wonder how you will make it through, this episode, dear listener, is especially for you. We’re cheering for you!

In this episode we will puzzle over the topic of grief - something most people try to avoid talking about - even though we will all experience grief in our lives. Our host, Sue, will share her heart-changing experiences of loss and grief and will present listeners with the concept of grief as a “shadow gift” - something of beauty that comes out of life’s darkness. We will consider the relevance of one of Sue’s favourite quotes: “Joy shared is doubled, Sorrow shared is halved”. We’ll also look at the reason behind why our culture tends to hide our grief from others, how hiding grief is part of the problem, and real-life examples of how our Puzzlers have had their needs met during periods of grieving.
Join us in this real and inspirational discussion about the messy gift of grief. -
In this episode we will puzzle over the topic of “worry”. This is a topic that deserves a discussion, because, let’s be honest, worry impacts all of us! During this episode, our host, Val deVries, will share her “worry story”, and will give the listeners ‘food for thought’ regarding the question, “Should Christians worry?”. We will meditate on tough questions, like “Can God use worry for our good” and “Does God always respond when we cry out to Him.” You will hear all about Sue’s statue, Tracy’s trip, Catherine’s mystery package and more! Join us in this real and inspirational discussion on the topic of “worry”.
