Oh, where would we be without our friends? I will say personally I do not ever want to find out! Turns out spending quality time with friends is not only good for our emotional health, but also super beneficial for our physical health. I mean, who knew a good chat with your pal could help with your inflammation?? Still not sure how that works, but there’s some research out there done by people with much higher intellect than us! And of course, we have some great examples for the spiritual benefits, as well. Listen in and then call a friend to get together for some happy fun! ***Show Notes*** Articles Referenced: https://www.everydayhealth.com/emotional-health/social-support.aspx https://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/christianity/5-greatest-friendships-of-the-bible.aspx Bible Verses: Romans 12:9-10,14-16 MSG John 15:13 Email us: [email protected] Follow us: Facebook & Instagram: @ourhappyplacepodcast Twitter: @ourhappyplace9 https://linktr.ee/Ourhappyplacepodcast

Are you a runner? We are not runners, but we recently ran a 5K! A very HILLY 5K at that! Who knew? Well, we sure found out... thank goodness it was a drizzly October morning when we set out on this true adventure. We had many laughs, almost tears, encouraging feels and terrifying moments throughout that we are excited to share with you all! Through it all yeah could have trained more, could have been more aware of the word "hills", should have stretched, but in the end we had a blast and crossed that finish line!  ***Show Notes*** 2 Corinthians 4:16 Email us: [email protected] Follow us: Facebook & Instagram: @ourhappyplacepodcast Twitter: @ourhappyplace9 https://linktr.ee/Ourhappyplacepodcast

There's a way that the world views freedom, but there's also a much better view that is hard to put into words. When we trust in and nurture the spirit of true freedom, we move into a humble and unifying hope. In the same spirit of the last being first, the least being greatest, being a slave to God's will truly sets us free. (1 Peter 2:16) With this freedom comes responsibility, which is an ability to respond in spirit no matter what may come our way. We wish you all a happy and grateful 4th!  ***Podcast mention - The Hope Podcast with Lina AbuJamra: Episode #176*** Connect with us!
