    Choosing Faith Over Fear, God’s Gift of Laughter with Headlining Comedian Carolanne Miljavac

    Today we’re laughing with Carolanne Miljavac, a headlining comedian (and author) using her God-given gift of humor to overcome hardships with the strength and courage to persevere. Carolanne is a straight up star!  Her comedic videos, Real Life Live Feeds, and Heart to Hearts have led to over 1 billion video views, 2 million + fans on social media, 2 best selling books, headlining multiple comedy tours, and you can find her comedy special, “Life Out Loud” on YouTube. Carolanne can get away with saying almost anything because she says it with a southern accent (born in Alabama and living in Missouri) and delivers a little giggle afterward.  Drawing inspiration from comedy legends such as Carol Burnett and Gilda Radner, Carolanne shares what brings her joy and how she feels called to bring that joy to others.  In her book, She Laughs, Choosing Faith over Fear, Carolanne writes how laughter is a gift from God and can be used to overcome poverty, grief, brokenness, disaster, hopeless situations, and many of life's struggles. Here is the scripture reference that she attributes to her calling, Romans 8:28 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Taken right out of her book, Odd(ly) Enough … "Poverty, abuse, and cancer all these years later have been worked out for good according to His purpose. I’m so ecstatic for readers to laugh, cry, and rejoice with me as we walk through the revelation that everything you thought made you unworthy is actually what makes you exactly enough for the unique calling on your life. It’s your quirks, your weirdness, and the lessons learned in your ditches that make you valuable, not useless...Oddly Enough." Take a break from the crazies and laugh with Carolanne here —> https://www.facebook.com/CarolanneMiljavac/ You can learn more about her comedy, connect on her socials and buy her books here —> https://www.carolannecomedy.com/home  If you’re within a drive of Missoula, MT … go see her live for a “Girls Night Out” on April 18th —> https://donate.tcpnw.com/event/girls-night-out-humor-and-hope-event-2026/e771098 .  Gentlemen, this is a great opportunity to treat your wife to a fun Girls Night Out she won’t forget! What we learned on this recording: snow storms can slow the Internet connection down and that means I may unintentionally talk over my guest.  Sorry Carolanne!  And, I sound like my S’s” are slurred so maybe I should have considered waiting until the Procaine wore off by the time we recorded.   It was totally worth it though!   Send the Show a text...we'd love to connect with you!
