Sparkle Speak – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode of the Sparkle Speak Podcast, we dive into the powerful decision-making framework that can help us as we navigate life’s choices with confidence and clarity. We explore three questions (credited from The Courageous Parenting Podcast).

1. Is this good? 
2. Is this keeping me from something better? 
3. What is the Holy Spirit saying? 

Join us as we unpack how these questions can transform the decision-making process, and empower us to make choices that honor God’s calling in our lives.

Michigan based author and speaker, Karen Ehman, joins us to talk about her books "Keep It Shut: What to Say, How to Say It, and When to Say Nothing at All" and "Zip It: The Keep It Shut 40-Day Challenge". 

We discuss her motivations for writing this book, as well as her inspiration for avoiding gossip. Karen provides us with some practical advice through stories on how to handle gossip in a godly way, and some wisdom learned on how to make our words "sweet like honey", rather than damaging and unwholesome. 

Scripture:

Proverbs 10:19: "Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues."

Proverbs 15:4: "The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit."

Ephesians 4:29: "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen".

Colossians 4:6: "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."

Proverbs 16:24: "Kind words are like honey - sweet to the soul, and healthy for the body".

Our guest, Michelle McTaggart, joins us in this episode to share how her faith helped lead her parents to believe in God. Her father encountered a miracle "dream" in a near death experience that turned him from a hater of God, into a lover of God. In this conversation we touch on aspects of praying for those we love who don't believe, and how praying specifically, powerfully, and consistently can make a a bigger difference than we could ask for or imagine!

Ephesians 3:20: "Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think."

Have you ever had to deal with disappointment after failed plans or a "re-route" in your daily routine? It can sometimes be tough to overcome those emotions and move forward in peace ~ a challenge we certainly have all faced from time to time!

In this episode, we discuss "4 Ways to Manage Disappointment When Life Doesn't Go According to Plan". 

Philippians: 4: 6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Proverbs 16:9 "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps."

John 16:33  “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Molly Stillman joins us to discuss her new book, “If I Don’t Laugh I’ll Cry : How Death, Debt, and Comedy Led to a Life of Faith, Farming, and Forgetting What I Came Into this Room For...”. She talks about discovering her faith in Christ, and how that brought her to a place of peace more than any “self-help” method could. She discusses personal loss, crawling out of debt after irresponsible financial decisions, and how it’s “possible to gain everything if we are willing to surrender it all to Jesus”.
