Each of us will experience the unfairness of life, and receive injuries, whether real or perceived, at the hands of others. Will these injuries cause us to become spiritually blinded with anger, and revenge or with draw from the fold of God ? Or will we choose to accept, forgive, and allow the Savior’s Atonement to absorb all the unfairness in our lives? James Talmage taught, “Every human soul shall be tested as by fire.” Our guest today Jana Tuttle was literally and spiritually tested by fire. She was hit in the eye with a firework 6 years ago. She is here to tell us about her journey and how her accident helped her find her way to Christ-- who absorbed all the unfairness in her life and left in its place an all encompassing peace and joy.

When we do not accept what is, life is an illusion—an illusion that, like a pit of darkness, keeps us from seeing clearly, makes us claustrophobic and suffocates us in vexing negative emotions.When we live in truth, we accept what is. When we live in illusion, we attempt to deal with what isn’t. In other words, we deny truth—things as they really are—and get mired in how we think things should or should not be. Ours becomes a world of wishful thinking.Today’s guest, Sherrie Mills Johnson, teaches this in her book “Count it all Joy.”She says, “while you are busy throwing punches at illusion, real life goes on all around you—unexperienced and unenjoyed—and problems go unresolved.”In this podcast, Sherrie will walk us through the pit of illusion to the other side, where we will come to understand the difference between necessary pain and unnecessary pain and discover that joy is ours for the choosing.Stay with us.

So what does it mean to be an American? Today our guest, Gove Allen will address this question, by walking us through the seven founding values which make us Americans. These values are what give us our identity as Americans and make us great. Without them we are no different than any other country. Support the show (https://findingjoyandpeace.com/)

Today there will be much talk of women in high places, power suits, high-heels, and history in the making. It’s monumental. It’s never been done before. The message of empowering women is good. But I believe women have always ruled the world. Creators and shapers of humanity long before politics. While I respect those climbing the rungs on the ladder of history, I hope my daughters remember that today nothing about womanhood has fundamentally changed. They have always had power to change the world. Our guest Tiffany Braithwaite taught this in a recent post on Facebook, Today she will take us further, helping us step into our divine role as women to be creators and shapers of humanity.Stay with us I believe you will be inspired. #peace, #joy, #faith, #family, #motherhood, #woman #christianity, #ComeuntoChrist, https://findingjoyandpeace.com/podcasts/Follow us on Facebook For inspiring quotes, and notices when other podcasts become available.https://www.facebook.com/findingjoyandpeacepodcastFor inspiring quotes, blog posts, and other podcasts subscribe at: findingjoyandpeace.com Support the show (https://findingjoyandpeace.com/)

How would he be able to survive the excruciating pain that he would have to experience, physically, emotionally, and socially with the loss of 50% of his skin? How would he overcome the longing to die? How would he eventually find peace and joy? You will love this beautiful story of faith and courage, how one man walked into hell and came forth as gold, a tried and tested son of God.PAINPain stayed so long, I said to him today,I will not have you with me any more.I stamped my foot and said, “Be on your way!”And paused, startled at the look he wore.“I, who have been your friend,“ he said to me,“I, who have been your teacher.All you know of love, of sympathy and understanding and patienceI have taught you. Shall I go?”He spoke the truth, this strange unwelcomed guest.I watched him leave and knew that he was wise.He left a heart grown tender in my breast,He left a far clear vision in my eyes.I dried my tears, then lifted up a song,Even for one who had tortured me so long.Author UnknownTo see pictures of Peters accident go to: https://findingjoyandpeace.com/podcasts/Follow us on Facebook For inspiring quotes, and notices when other podcasts become available.https://www.facebook.com/findingjoyandpeacepodcastFor inspiring quotes, blog posts, and other podcasts subscribe at: findingjoyandpeace.com #peace, #joy, #faith, #loss, #pain #burns #blind, #faith, #christianity, #ComeuntoChrist,Support the show (https://findingjoyandpeace.com/)
