Nicole Zasowski and Amber discuss the heart behind her newest book What If It's Wonderful?, the spiritual practice of celebration, and why we often resist celebrating.
Courage to Celebrate Questions Discussed:
- (2:43) Your story involves multiple miscarriages and crippling anxiety that led to a reluctance to celebrate for fear of what may come. In What If It's Wonderful you write, "I was sure that celebration always came with a catch, so I became practiced in praying for the miracle while preparing to mourn," Share a bit of your story and how God began to impress upon you the spiritual practice of celebration.
- (9:50) Why do you think we can be hesitant or completely shy away from celebrating God's good gifts, especially after enduring hardship
- (16:32) You wrote, "Christians I stood shoulder to shoulder with through most seasons of my life tended to emphasize other disciplines- like prayer, fasting, and the study of God's Word- but were not particularly disciplined about celebration." What does the Bible say about celebration and why is this practice important?
- (22:50) What are some practical things that you started doing to introduce celebration as a rhythm?
- (28:07) What is the difference between celebration and escapism?
- (32:03) In your practice of celebration, what have you discovered about the character of God?

Jenn Uren joins Amber to discuss her personal experience with untangling overwhelm, what pride has to do with it, and where the surprise adoption of two children fits in to her story.
Dealing with Overwhelm Questions Discussed:
- (4:09) You are a helper. You enjoy serving people, but you came to a point in your life where you were completely overwhelmed. Will you share a little of the backstory?
- (7:22) You moved into a place of "managing" the overwhelm, but you still felt this strong sense of obligation, of this fear of letting others down. How did you begin to untangle that and how was God working on you through that season?
- (11:45) On the tail end of untangling overwhelm, identifying the pride in your own heart, and learning to live with intention and purpose your world was turned upside down. What happened?
- (15:58) Did the unexpected adoption process send you into another season of overwhelm?
- (21:07) Why do you think that we struggle to get from A to Z when dealing with overwhelm?

Sherry Hoppen joins Amber to discuss the years she spent addicted to alcohol, how it impacted her relationships and life after being flat on her face, fully surrendering her addiction to God.
- (4:40) Share a little of your faith journey with us. When did you begin walking with Jesus?
- (6:24) There is a season of your life where the label, "addicted follower of Christ" was true of you. Will you take us back and share how alcohol addiction became a part of your story and what day to day life looked like during that time?
- (15:00) You can have a huge problem with alcohol and not necessarily get to the point where you're hiding it in your bathroom. Talk about that a little?
- (18:39) What are some signs that should kind of trigger us to think something more may be going on here than what I realize?
- (22:08) After many failed attempts at sobriety, what took place that finally set you on the path of freedom from addiction?
- (29:20) You've said, "I think addiction is spiritual warfare at it's finest, and I believe the devil is going to use it to his advantage every way he can." Will you expound on that statement?
- (41:40) Maybe, there is a Christian woman listening right now who is walking a similar path to the one you were on decades ago. What would you like to say to her?
“In essence, you think that you're keeping your life separate from God. Like I have my life with God, and I have my life without God. Because, really, you're ashamed. You don't want God to see that side [alcoholism].”
“If someone disagreed with my drinking…I cut them out of my life.”
“If you're questioning if you have a drinking problem, you do.”
“I really thought I was surrendering and that God was letting me down. When, in essence, I didn't surrender anything. I was surrendering on my terms…. The difference was instead of saying to God, ‘I just want to go back to drinking like normal when I go to this event. Help me to just put a lid on it when I need to. Or take away this craving. Or, please don't let anybody find out’.... I was flat on my face on my living room floor, just crying out to God saying, ‘You know what, I surrender, I'm done. I'll do whatever you want.’ And I'd never said that before.”
“There is no magic answer, but there is a way. And I believe the way is by taking God's hand and not letting go and finding a community that supports that.”

Alicia Michelle and Amber discuss the HOW behind renewing your mind, overcoming negative thought patterns, and the power of the brain.
Overcoming Negative Thought Pattern Questions Discussed:
- (4:38) Share a little about your faith journey. When did you begin walking with Jesus?
- (8:45) There came a point where you experienced a health crisis that made you reevaluate everything. What happened and what were the things you noticed that were not lining up with the "freedom in Christ" message you had come to know in your head, but not necessarily live out?
- (19:50) You learned the radical impact negative thoughts can have on every aspect of your life including physical health, which led you to become a certified NeuroCoach. Explain a bit of the science behind the impact negative thoughts have on our bodies.
- (24:00) If I was your client, what could I expect from your mindset coaching?
- (30:00) How does that science intersect or shall I say support Paul's words in Romans 12:2, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will"?
- (43:19) What are some patterns you identify in some people that make them a good candidate for neuro-coaching?
