Simply Joyful Podcast — Tricia Goyer: When God Uses Your Pain & Your Past for Good in Your Life! 

I could not be more excited to have my amazing friend Tricia Goyer be my first official guest on my new podcast. Tricia is one of the most inspiring people I know. I find myself sharing parts of her story (anonymously) with others all the time. You know those conversations like, “I have this friend who…” People are always so blown away by her story and how she and her husband have said, “Yes!” to God in some ways that not many would be up for. I can't wait for you to hear it!

We all have “baggage.” You know, those things in our past that we wish hadn’t happened. Past pain and hurt that left a scar on our heart or a wedge in a relationship. There we are all the same. However, how we deal with that pain is often dramatically different.

Some ignore it and try to stuff it down deep inside where they hope it won't bother them again. Some hide it and pray that no one will ever find out about it. Some choose to forgive and find peace with their past.

Then there's Tricia…

This is where Tricia's story is so amazing. I can't wait for you to hear all about how Tricia allowed God to weave together her story in such an impactful way — both for others and within her own family. Get ready to be encouraged!

Highlights from the Show: 

  • I love talking to my guests about ways they add simplicity and joy to their lives. Well, Tricia is also one of those people you stand back and think, “How does she do it all?” She is a mom to ten…did you catch that…10 kids! Yep! Plus, she's a very accomplished author!! She's written over 60 books! I can't wait for you to hear that segment of the podcast.
  • In this episode, you are going to be blown away by Tricia's story. She will encourage you to “press forward” toward what God is doing in your life.
  • Philippians 3:13 (ESV)
  • She also shares some of the advice that she received from her life coach that has helped her to find more balance and joy.
  • We talked about the importance of taking every thought captive.
  • Philippians 4:8
  • 2 Corinthians 10:5
  • Tricia is involved with Teen M.O.P.S. and Project Zero (in Arkansas)
  • I just love the photos that Tricia shares on Instagram and Facebook. You'll want to be sure to follow her there. (I wish I was able to find that picture for you to see…that was a lot of shoes.)
  • Books we discussed: Prayers That Changed History (my favorite) and Praying for Your Future Husband.
  • My other favorite books from Tricia: Balanced and Made with Love
