How do you find joy in hard seasons and continue to trust God while you’re waiting?

Best-selling author, Bible teacher, and speaker Carol McLeod joins Theresa Rowe on Shaped by Faith for a powerful conversation about finding biblical joy, trusting God through disappointment and loss, and discovering what He may be doing during the “meanwhile” seasons of our lives.

Carol shares why Psalm 16:11 has become such an important truth in her life: “In Your presence is fullness of joy.”

If we want lasting joy, we have to go where true joy is found—in the presence of God.

Carol McLeod is a best-selling author, Bible teacher, speaker, and host of The Significant Women Podcast. Her YouVersion Bible devotionals have been downloaded more than 4 million times, and her ministry continues to encourage women to live with joy, purpose, and an unwavering trust in God.

If you are in a season of waiting, disappointment, grief, uncertainty, or simply longing for more joy, I pray this conversation reminds you that God is present, He is working, and your hope is found in Him.

Are unexplained fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, or other chronic symptoms sometimes connected to mold exposure or Lyme disease?

In this episode of Shaped by Faith Radio, Theresa Rowe welcomes Dr. Vaughn Lawrence of Spirit of Health back for Part 2 of their conversation on infectious disease. This time, they take a closer look at mold exposure, Lyme disease, chronic illness, immune health, and the body's natural ability to heal and recover.

Dr. Vaughn shares his perspective on why mold and Lyme disease can be difficult to recognize, symptoms that may be overlooked, and why it is important to look deeper when someone has been struggling with ongoing health concerns.

As people of faith, we want to be informed and intentional about caring for our bodies while ultimately placing our trust and hope in God.

Our bodies are His creation, and caring for them is part of faithful stewardship.
