    It’s time for our Summer Break Special Episode Series on A Cup of Gratitude podcast!! 🎉All four weeks will feature the winners of the “Holy Plot Twists” book Contest🏆🏆🏆🏆Each week a winner will interview me asking questions from my story found in the beginning of the book and then they will share insights they received from their time in the journal section of the book - These conversations have been powerful and encouraging - Special Episode #3 is here! This week I speak with Sherrie Pilkington who enters into various aspects of life as a daughter of the One True God. She dearly loves her 2 grown sons and 2 daughters-in-love but it’s her 6 grandchildren that keep her young at heart and the sound of joy in her laugh. Known for pondering the hard things in life through the lens of God’s heart, she shares her revelations through her podcast, Finding God in Our Pain. Sherrie and her guests do not shy away from the hard questions about the reality of pain and suffering and the good God we profess. After unexpectedly losing her husband in early 2018, whom she had been with for a little over 33 years, she now knows that God speaks beautiful things in the dark. Through her website (alifeofthrive.com) and her podcast she wants to let people know that they’re never alone in their pain because God enters into the darkest of valleys and will gently shepherd each one through.

    Jun 9 2025

    Welcome to week two of the Special Episode Summer Break Series. We will be having a conversation based on my newest book. This week I am speaking with Dr. Chizobam Idahosa who is a wife, mother to three beautiful girls, and a dentist specialized in oral medicine, orofacial pain, and lifestyle medicine. At the core of her identity, she sees herself as a child of the Most-High God and a servant of Christ Jesus. Chizobam is passionate about studying, meditating, and teaching the Word. In 2015, she founded Beautiful in Jesus, a Christian ministry born from her journey toward inward beauty and maturity through the Word of God. Beautiful in Jesus equips believers with practical truth from the Word so they can know God more intimately and walk in step with the Holy Spirit as God transforms them into the image of Christ. We look at her childhood up to the present to see the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life. You won’t want to miss this inspiring episode!

What a gift Amanda has for taking a story,your story,and finding the God moments in it. Amanda uses her own journey with God as the back drop to show what a wonderful tapestry can be made by simply being grateful in each moment and knowing that our own gratitude expands as we let Jesus be the Source that fills our cup.
I love Amanda's organic approach to simply have a conversation with as many people as she can. She allows us to reveal where God is in our stories. They maybe be different,but with an open and grateful heart, Amanda shows how one small focus on gratitude can shift us right into the places God wants to write His story in us. I am grateful Amanda is giving her voice along with ours to tell the Savior's Story and what He does in ours.
I love each episode and the richness it brings when we lean in, listen and express a heart full of gratitude.
