Here to shed light and a newfound perspective is Brittany Dawn, Founder of She Lives Freed and Chiseled and Called Podcast. Ultimately Brittany has walked through the fire of social media bullying and come out not smelling like smoke.  Her newfound intimacy with God and focus on his purpose is to blame in the best way and it’s helped her respond the bullies without becoming a bully herself  in the process… something we could all learn from.Through her vulnerability she invites us all to lay down our armor, confront our skeletons and remember to treat each other with the grace, sincere compassion and a very healthy dose of boundaries. It’s hard work, but it’s good work.

    When You Want the Miracle But Not the Mess with Elyse Murphy

    We all want a miracle but we don’t want to actually NEED a miracle. Meaning we want the incredible miracle story, but not the mess, crisis or struggle that comes before it. So what happens when we can’t find God when we’re waiting on a miracle? What happens when we can’t understand why he won’t answer our prayer (the way we think it should be answered). Easter is the pinnacle of the ultimate miracle and it’s also a time we often reflect on the reality of our faith. Do I really trust God? Does he really do miracles in my life? And what happens when He doesn’t appear to answer it?  This Episode Elyse gets real about when faith became real to her. Through her own personal trials to those of the ones closest to her — she reminds us how it’s in the beautiful, broken and messy reality where God meets us with the biggest and brightest miracles that make faith what it is. From award-winning producer and actress Roma Downey's LightWorkers Media, welcome to the On a Lighter Note Podcast hosted by writer & speaker Elyse Murphy. Here we have conversations with people from all walks of life to speak into the ways we are coping with the ups, the downs and the detours of life to help us thrive even in challenging times. Even when it seems we're surrounded by darkness, there's always a little bit of light to be found - so let's go find it together!
