00:00:01 --> 00:00:03 This is a big week in our household,

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05 for many reasons,

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09 but one of the biggest of all slipped in quietly.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11 Tune in.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15 Hello,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:17 --> 00:00:23 the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:31 MOMO 634 Motivational moments just for today.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49 This week contained a grief-aversary,

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52 a much-anticipated visit,

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56 some potentially path-changing news,

00:00:57 --> 00:00:57 and,

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59 without much fanfare,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:05 the two-year marker of the very first episode of this podcast.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10 To be completely honest, I'm not sure how to celebrate it.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13 I'm not one for tooting my own horn,

00:01:14 --> 00:01:18 so it felt braggy to share some of the very kind words you've

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19 given me privately

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21 and in the comments.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25 I could talk about the Christian Chronicle interviews,

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27 which have been some of the biggest highlights,

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 given how many awards they've won.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33 And though I have put in the work,

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36 I'll let the interviews speak for themselves.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:41 And I guess I do point them out a lot already in each email and

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42 pinned to the top

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43 of the site at momo634.com.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:51 But really, it all started and ends with one thought.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54 How is God changing me?

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57 That's what I'm doing here.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:02 Just out loud for others grappling with the same issues.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:08 We've talked about grief, which was the catalyst for this podcast.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09 Growth.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11 Messing up and missing the mark.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13 mental health,

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14 positivity,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16 encouragement,

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17 tribe,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:18 wellness,

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20 inspiration,

00:02:21 --> 00:02:21 motivation,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23 boundaries,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:24 sleep,

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27 automatic negative thoughts,

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29 executive functioning,

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31 somatic memories,

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32 stigma,

00:02:33 --> 00:02:33 awareness,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35 and so much more.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:36 And,

00:02:37 --> 00:02:37 of course,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39 at the heart of it,

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41 God and His goodness,

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45 through these episodes and our daily Bible verse,

00:02:45 --> 00:02:48 which you can have mailed to you each morning.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50 The expression goes,

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52 I'm not where I want to be,

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56 but thank God I'm not where I used to be.

00:02:57 --> 00:03:00 I can honestly say that most days,

00:03:01 --> 00:03:05 and I do see the baby steps I've taken to respond to the growth

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06 he calls me to.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:12 Really, that's my prize, here on this side of the topsoil.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15 And along the way,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:20 I hope my struggles and transparency have resonated with you on

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21 your journey to

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23 spiritual maturity.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:28 If there was a particular episode that really spoke to an issue

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29 you've grappled

00:03:29 --> 00:03:29 with,

00:03:29 --> 00:03:33 I'd love to know so I can try to craft more like it.

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37 If there's a need you have that you'd like me to try and

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38 develop an episode around,

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41 drop that in the comments also.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43 Most of all,

00:03:44 --> 00:03:49 I just want to thank each and every one of you for being here

00:03:50 --> 00:03:50 and listening,
