Host: Dr. Cynthia “Cindy” Libert, M.D.

Run Time: 5:09

In today’s episode, Dr. Cindy invites you into a gentle, heartfelt conversation about one of the most beautiful and misunderstood words in Scripture: shalom. Far more than simply “peace,” shalom speaks of wholeness—of restoration, healing, and alignment with God's design for your life.

You’ll explore what shalom means biblically, how it touches every part of your being, and how Jesus, the Prince of Peace, offers us more than calm—He offers us completion.

• The deeper biblical meaning of shalom
• How shalom touches our physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual health
• Why peace is not something we earn—but something we receive
• The healing power of returning to right relationship with God, others, and yourself
• Where to begin when you're feeling weary, scattered, or broken

• Isaiah 9:6 (ESV) “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given... and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

• Ephesians 2:14 (ESV) “For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility.”

• John 14:27 (ESV) “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”

• Proverbs 4:20–22 (NIV) “My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.”

Shalom isn’t something we hustle to achieve—it’s something we receive through relationship with Jesus, the Sar Shalom. He is our wholeness. He is our restorer. He meets us in our frayed places and gently says, “Let Me take care of that.”

• Where in your life do you feel a longing for greater wholeness?

• In what areas is Jesus inviting you to receive His shalom today?

• How might you shift from striving to resting in His love and provision?

You were made for joy.

You were made to be whole.

May His peace dwell richly in your heart today and always.

Welcome to Season 3 of The Joy Prescription Podcast!

We've had a delightful experience this season interviewing pioneering individuals who are integrating faith into their work in their respective fields of healthcare, coaching, psychology, and ministry.

On September 27, 2024, the place we call home, Western North Carolina, received unimaginable damage and destruction from the impacts of Hurricane Helene. Recovery efforts are still ongoing as many seek to rebuild and face unexpected new beginnings.

To close out Season 3, we wanted to take this opportunity to remember and reflect upon our experiences and highlight the hidden grace that is discovered in the hard, stormy experiences of life.

In our final episode, we wrap-up our thoughts reflecting on resilience and the important role God's Word played in anchoring our souls as we navigated the impacts of the storm. Listen to see which verses were reminding us to keep our focus on Jesus despite being confronted with fear, stress and overwhelm.

We'd love to hear YOUR pearls of wisdom and triumphs you've experienced in the midst of personal or community challenges. Share your story with us by emailing thejoyprescription@gmail.com.

This episode closes out Season 3 and we are incredibly grateful for your support! We look forward to returning for Season 4 in Spring 2025. Be sure to subscribe and follow us so you don't miss our Season 4 announcements!

In this episode, we get real about preparation, and what we've now learned to help us be more prepared for future disasters, not just physically speaking, but emotionally and spiritually as well.

We hope some of the wisdom we've gained will be of benefit to you and yours!
