Angie Delamore is a wife, mom, Registered Nurse and health advocate. She's participated in and finished four marathons and one Olympic Distance Triathlon. On today's show she shares about finding the treasure in each and every day which is something she's while parenting her son 13 year old son JC who's battled leukemia multiple times since he was 2 years old. Angie's heart's desire is to meet people where they're at and love them through their journey.
Testimony (2:28)
Angie shares how being raised both Southern Baptist and Catholic has given her a unique understanding about "church."
God's Mercy & Grace (9:00)
Angie answers the question she hears often, "How do you do it?" Her answer is always, "God's mercy and grace in the moment." The wisdom she's learned in life is to focus on the now. When she focuses on the past she starts feeling depressed. When she focuses on the future she's filled with anxiety but when she focuses on the present she's able to open her heart to God's mercy and can find joy in the moment.
JC's Story (13:13)
Angie opens up about JC's story of him first being diagnosed with leukemia at the age of two up until now at the age of 13. JC has had 6 relapses and 7 diagnoses.
Comfort In The Now (21:08)
Journaling and writing about JC's story is therapeutic for Angie. She knows God has something for her in the form of writing but she's waiting on him to show her what and when.
Other Dynamics (26:41)
Over the years the Lord's provision has kept them out of bankruptcy which is all too often the case with medical expenses of this magnitude. Angie talks about some of the ways bills have come in and within hours they'll receive a check or money that's nearly right down to the penny of a medical bill.
The Present (38:45)
Angie addresses JC's present and most recent diagnosis and how others can come alongside them.

Alissa Holmes is the Executive Pastor and Development Director for Twin Cities Justice House of Prayer. In addition she's an admin and worship leader for a night and day house of prayer as well as works for a powerful inner healing ministry called Door of Hope. Alissa is also a writer, musician, filmmaker and artist who is passionate about creation in all of its forms. She loves seeing people transformed with the power of Christ after being delivered from severe depression and suicidal tendencies.
Testimony (2:48)
Alissa is a pastor's kid who came to know the Lord at the young age of 3. She struggled with nightmares and her mom led her through a salvation prayer and asked the Lord to take away the nightmares and he did. Then at the age of 9 she started with depression and suicidal tendencies due to some trauma in her childhood. At the age of 13 Alissa tried to run away from home and when she came back home her dad started crying and saying his baby was back. Those words from her father broke through a lie she had in her head that nobody loved her. That began a 6 year journey of healing. But in her twenties some other hardships caused her to doubt her relationship with God. God used a mother in the Lord to help Alissa walk through deliverance and ultimately began a 6 month healing process.
Walking Out Inner Healing (9:09)
Alissa shares how when she was first walking out her healing it was like she had lived her whole life in a prison cell and all of sudden she was experiencing life in a new way. It took the Spirit of God to set her free and give her a holy imagination of how he actually created her to be. She wants people to know is that God's healing isn't dependent upon our background.
Overcoming (14:58)
Alissa shares how because God transforms us from the inside out we ought to see others how God sees them even when it's difficult. So rather than saying someone is the way they are and they'll never change is not gospel. We have a divine responsibility to reach out and help others grow in the areas where they're weak.
Conflict Resolutions (20:24)
Alissa talks about how when we have an inner conflict with someone, rather than thinking it's someone else shortcoming and to roll past it, saying something immediately rather than dramatizing it or making a big deal out of it is powerful to deal to call others up to a higher way of living.
"Not For Me" Mantra (26:00)
Over the past 6 months Alissa has been working out with the Lord renouncing the inner lies or vows she's made with the enemy over the years that good things are not for her. A mentor encouraged her to keep proclaiming the truth over herself so Alissa chose to speak God's truth, "I am chosen and I am wanted" and she experienced breakthrough in a profound way.

She joins the podcast today to share her faith story and share about what God put on her heart about using social media to impact 1 million women with simple tips on how to build a strong and healthy life in the Lord.
Testimony (1:50)
Julie is a Texas native shares how she's thankful to have been raised in the church her whole life, but it wasn't until she attended a youth event in California during her teen years that she went "all in" for authentically walking out her faith.

Life Builders (6:15)
Life Builders is a goal Julie has to encourage 1 Million people by the time she turns 50! It's all about equipping other to find the sweet spot of using the gifts and abilities they've been given by God and use them for a purpose that honors him.
Using Your Talents (12:00)
Julie talks about how so often women get caught in the trap of thinking that using their talents means they have to change the world or make a difference in thousands of lives or it's not valid or valuable. This is simply not the case.
Being Authentically You (16:30)
Authenticity frees others up to be themselves. When we share our struggles and let down our barriers it encourages others to say, "I'm struggling with this too." And then reach out for support.
Conversations With Other Women (20:03)
A lot of conversations Julie is having with others these days is about community and not being isolated. Connection and supporting one another seems to be at the top of the list. We can't do life alone. In fact, we're never the only one going through something.
Conversations With Other Women (25:03)
Julie talks about an amazing concept of "Mom's Adventure Day" where one day a month she puts a day on the family calendar where she gets out of the home by herself to go on an adventure whether it's in nature, to a movie or to do something she's been wanting to do.
