    Episode 15: Renewing Your Mind and Reclaiming Your Joy

    What does it look like to choose joy when life doesn't go the way you hoped? In this episode of the Wisdom Workshop Podcast, Dr. Stephanie Oliver sits down with Nicole Turner, a licensed professional counselor, to explore the difference between joy and happiness and how we can cultivate biblical joy even in difficult seasons. Joy doesn't mean pretending everything is okay or ignoring the emotions that come with hardship. It means learning to hold sorrow and hope together, renew our minds with God's truth, and find strength in His unchanging nature. Dr. Stephanie and Nicole discuss how our words shape our perspective, why avoiding difficult emotions can become a barrier to joy, and how counseling, Scripture, gratitude, and intentional daily practices can help us move toward healing. In this episode, you'll discover: The difference between temporary happiness and lasting, biblical joy. How renewing your mind and changing your self-talk can reshape your perspective. Why confronting difficult emotions can open the door to greater freedom and joy. What toxic positivity is and why choosing joy doesn't mean denying your pain. How gratitude, celebrating small wins, and pausing to recognize God's presence can help you navigate hard seasons. Practical ways to begin choosing joy right where you are. Scriptures to reflect on: James 1:2–4 Philippians 4:8 Proverbs 17:22 Nehemiah 8:10 Hebrews 12:2 If you're struggling to experience joy, remember that you don't have to navigate the hard things alone. Sometimes the next step toward joy is finding the support you need to face what's been weighing on you. For more resources, visit wisdomworkshop.net or contact info@wisdomworkshop.net.

    What It Looks Like to Love and Be Loved

    Fear, rejection, and difficult relationships can make it hard to believe we are truly loved. In this episode of The Wisdom Workshop Podcast, Dr. Stephanie Oliver explores what it means to receive God’s love and how being rooted in that love changes the way we love others. Drawing from Ephesians 3 and 1 John 4, Dr. Stephanie reflects on why receiving love can feel uncomfortable, how deflecting encouragement may reinforce the lie that we are unworthy, and why God’s love cannot be measured by our circumstances or by how other people treat us. She also shares a personal story about learning to accept compliments from her children and uses the image of a dry sponge to show why we need to be filled with God’s love before we can offer it to others. If you’ve struggled to receive love, feared rejection, or wondered how to love someone unconditionally, this episode offers biblical encouragement to rest in God’s love and let it shape your relationships. Remember, wisdom wins every time!  It's not too late to register for our Prepared Conference this year… Save your seat HERE!

    Trusting God When You Cannot Trace What He Is Doing

    What do you do when you trust God, but your circumstances don’t make sense? In this episode of The Wisdom Workshop, Dr. Stephanie Oliver dives into one of the most familiar and often most challenging passages of Scripture: Proverbs 3:5–6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path.” Dr. Stephanie explores what it really means to trust God when you can’t see what He is doing, when His promises seem delayed, and when life takes an unexpected turn. Sometimes faith is easy when everything is going according to plan. But what happens when what you believed God said doesn't seem to match what you see happening? Dr. Stephanie shares a deeply personal story of experiencing disappointment, injured faith, and ultimately seeing God remind her that His ways are higher than ours. In this conversation, you'll discover why knowing God's Word is essential to knowing His voice, how pride and the desire for control can interfere with trust, and what it looks like to obey God even when you don't have all the details. Stephanie also unpacks the difference between asking God questions and questioning God's character, reminding us that we may not always understand God's methods, but we can trust His character.

    Episode 12: The Gift of Godly Friendship: What Makes a Friendship Last?

    Friendship is one of God's sweetest gifts. The right friends can laugh with us, walk through the hard seasons with us, pray with us, and lovingly remind us of who God has called us to be. They can see things we may not see in ourselves and, when needed, gently point us back to truth. In this episode of The Wisdom Workshop, Dr. Stephanie Oliver sits down with one of her dear friends, therapist Keisha Diodato, for a heartfelt conversation about godly friendship and what it really looks like to do life together. Stephanie and Keisha share from their own friendship and talk about the things that help relationships grow deeper and stronger, accountability, honesty, prayer, humility, and simply being willing to show up for one another. They talk about the gift of having a friend who loves you enough to tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. They also get real about the harder parts of friendship, conflict, disappointment, offense, forgiveness, and boundaries. What do we do when a friendship becomes difficult? When do we keep working through it, and when might God be leading us into a different season? Through Scripture, personal stories, and wisdom from their own friendship, Stephanie and Keisha encourage us to seek God in every relationship and trust Him with the friendships He has placed in our lives.
