308: Discover The Power Of Praise: Can You Still Raise A Hallelujah Without A Power Washer? (Psalm 146)
In today's episode, let's explore the transformative power of shifting from negativity to gratitude through a personal story.
Every Thursday, I visit my parents to help with chores and errands. Last week, after a tiring drive, I was faced with an unexpected challenge of having to return home to fetch a power washer. Initially overwhelmed with frustration and self-pity, I experienced a pivotal moment where I consciously chose to replace my negative thoughts with gratitude. I began praising God for the blessings in my life, which led to an immediate uplift in my mood and attitude. This change highlights the importance of focusing on positive, God-honoring thoughts, especially during times of stress and fatigue.
Additionally, we delve into Psalm 146, one of the Hallelujah Psalms, which emphasizes trusting in God's eternal reign and His care for the oppressed and needy. This psalm, written during the post-exilic period, encourages believers to rely on God's everlasting power rather than human strength. The episode also touches on the benefits of upbeat music in releasing dopamine, reducing stress, and enhancing cognitive function, all of which contribute to a more joyful and fulfilling spiritual life. By aligning our thoughts with gratitude and worship, we can experience profound emotional and spiritual healing, embodying the fruits of the Spirit in our daily lives.
And as the adage goes: if I can do it, you can, too! :)

307: Angry Daughter No More: Nanci Lamborn’s Story on How LOVE Covers a Multitude of Sin
Nanci Lamborn, born and raised in the buckle of the Bible belt, spent twenty-five years in corporate America.
After experiencing firsthand the supernatural transformation of forgiveness and inner healing prayer, Nanci’s journey took a significant turn as she embraced her calling into Christian ministry. As an ordained minister and licensed chaplain, she devotes her full-time efforts to helping individuals break free from their past, drawing from her own profoundly healing experiences.
Nanci is also a devoted wife, mother, and an immensely proud grandmother. She finds joy in camping, savoring coffee, cultivating her garden, and tending to her backyard chickens. Her passion is to see others walking free into their destiny, knowing and loving who God created them to be.
In her book Angry Daughter, Nanci recounts her journey from being a critical and angry Christian with deep-seated hatred for her mother to experiencing profound transformation through heart healing prayer. Her story covers the tumultuous relationship with her difficult mother, surviving abuse, and becoming her caregiver before her mother’s tragic death. Blending personal growth, humor, and self-help, this memoir offers a path for those seeking to release their own burdens to the Lord.
