Episode:

Becoming Happy and Healthy, with Jeanine Amapola

September 4, 2024 • 41:30 • Monica Swanson

Jeanine Amapola is a popular influencer for Gen Z, but even more, she is wise beyond her years! After a long season of straddling the fence between sincere faith and hidden sin, Jeanine faced the truth: Only a true surrender to God would truly satisfy. 

Jeanine joins us to chat through some of the topics in her recent book, Becoming Happy and Healthy. We cover friends (good ones and the toxic type,) adventure, career, and the power of habits. Jeanine opens up about secret sins and the importance of someone willing to tell you the truth. Jeanine's testimony is powerful and I love her heart to point women (young and old) to the gospel. 

 

My favorite part of this interview is towards the end when Jeanine speaks directly to the young women listening. it is a powerful word! I hope you can listen in, then invite your daughters to join you as well.

10 Dos and Donts for a Happy Family Christmas with Dave and Monica

We are officially one week away from Christmas! This is a replay from a fun date-night style episode my husband Dave and I shared a few days before Christmas in 2023. Dave and I are passing along wisdom we have gleaned over 29 Christmases together, most with a house full of boys. You'll find some important dos as well as a few donts! Hopefully a few will be encouraging reminders and a few will make you laugh. 

We imagine some of you might listen together with your spouse while wrapping gifts, running last-minute errands, or in front of the fire for a stay-in date night. (Of course you can listen all on your own as well. These principles will be helpful to everyone!)
