    #422 - The Power (and Theology) of Gratitude
    Nov 20 2024
    Today, I wanted to talk about something that’s been on my heart lately: gratitude. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, my family and I started a new tradition this year-a gratitude wall in our living room. Every day, we write down things we’re thankful for, and it’s sparked some really meaningful conversations with our kids about seeing God’s blessings in our lives. Gratitude has the power to change us. So, this week, I wanted to chat about what a biblical approach to Thanksgiving truly looks like. Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones, and I’ll see you back here in December! 2:14– The Theology Of Gratitude • Gratitude is a response to who God is • God is the giver of every blessing in our lives • Gratitude is an act of worship 7:00 – Practical Expressions Of Gratitude • Having a heart that acknowledges God • Gratitude through worship • Gratitude through action 10:38 – Gratitude During Difficult Seasons • Psalm 34:1 • Trusting God’s presence and promises • How are you practicing gratitude this season? FEATURED QUOTES “Even when life- especially right now, heading into the holiday season- feels chaotic, God's goodness and His love is constant, and so it gives us this reason to be thankful.” “Gratitude is…an act of worship. It's a way that we acknowledge God's rightful place in our lives as Lord and King.” “Gratitude isn't just what we say. Gratitude is how we live… It's our it's our words and our actions- word and deed- coming together.” Connect with me: http://www.stillbeingmolly.com http://instagram.com/stillbeingmolly http://instagram.com/canilaughpod http://twitter.com/stillbeingmolly http://facebook.com/stillbeingmolly http://facebook.com/canilaughpod http://tiktok.com/@stillbeingmolly GET YOUR COPY of ‘IF I DON’T LAUGH, I’LL CRY” TODAY: Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/IIDLICbn Amazon: https://amzn.to/48VYFkG ChristianBook: https://bit.ly/IIDLICcb Target: https://bit.ly/3Shh3Q2 Walmart: https://bit.ly/3MmGVpJ Indie Bound: https://bit.ly/IIDLICib Audible: https://amzn.to/3ITcdm8 Kindle: https://amzn.to/3ITaSvv About Can I Laugh On Your Shoulder?

    #421 - Rediscovering True Worship - Return to Love with Shana Wilson-Williams and Melinda Watts
    Nov 13 2024
    I am thrilled to be joined by the amazing and talented Shana Wilson Williams and Melinda Watts in today’s episode. Shana is a pastor’s daughter, worship leader and songwriter from Detroit. Melinda is a family lifestyle travel creator, speaker, and worship leader from Atlanta. These two incredible women have come alongside other talented artists to create the album, Return To Love, which calls the church back to its true purpose by embracing authentic worship and community. It showcases a rich blend of musical styles and diverse voices, all centered on the powerful theme of rediscovering true worship and love in a divided world. As we come off of this election season, Shana and Melinda are here to remind us how important it is to examine our hearts, prioritize our relationship with God, and better love ourselves, our families and our neighbors. I hope you’ll join us for this rich conversation and will give this powerful album a listen! 4:14 – Shana 101 From DetroitMom and wifePastor’s daughter and worship leader 7:00 – Melinda 101 From New Jersey, now in AtlantaMom and wifeWorship leader with a love for ministry 8:21 – Return To Love How this collaborative project came togetherThe meaning behind this albumReturning to the feet of Jesus 11:57 – Rediscovering True Worship Lessons from RevelationRediscovering a deep connection with GodPutting aside our differencesLoving yourself to love others well 20:19 – Overflowing Love: A Call To Kingdom Being mindful of what you consumeWorship that brings your attention back to the presence of GodLeading by example and focusing on kingdom valuesBreaking bread with those who are different than you 36:00 – Takeaways Shana and Melinda’s hope for this projectConnecting with Shana and Melinda FEATURED QUOTES “We need to not just be waiting for Him to return but be ready for Him to return. And the only way we can be ready is if we return back to what it was supposed to be- that's genuine love, genuine community, genuine fellowship with one another, putting aside our own motives or agendas or views…and returning to the sacredness of who Jesus is.” “We are supposed to be known in the world by our love and so to see this project focus on love is really helping us get back to what we should be known by.” “I hope that after listening to this project, that people reevaluate their relationships- their relationships with one another, with fellow Christians, non-Christians, and that we would keep love at the center.” ADDITIONAL RESOURCES OR LINKS THAT NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN POST Listen to the Return To Love Album: https://www.returntolovealbum.com/ Learn more about Shana https://www.shanawilsonwilliams.com/sww Shana on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shanawilsonwilliams/?hl=en Shana on Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@shanawilsonwilliams Shana on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC98C1ok21B5YlR4xF22vTlw Learn more about Melinda https://www.melindawatts.com/ Melinda on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/melindawattsglobal/ Medina on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/melindawattsmusic/ Melinda on Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@melindawatts_ Connect with me: http://www.stillbeingmolly.com http://instagram.com/stillbeingmolly http://instagram.com/canilaughpod http://twitter.com/stillbeingmolly http://facebook.com/stillbeingmolly http://facebook.com/canilaughpod http://tiktok.com/@stillbeingmolly GET YOUR COPY of ‘IF I DON’T LAUGH, I’LL CRY” TODAY: Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/IIDLICbn Amazon: https://amzn.to/48VYFkG ChristianBook: https://bit.ly/IIDLICcb Target: https://bit.ly/3Shh3Q2 Walmart: https://bit.ly/3MmGVpJ Indie Bound: https://bit.ly/IIDLICib Audible: https://amzn.to/3ITcdm8 Kindle: https://amzn.to/3ITaSvv About Can I Laugh On Your Shoulder?

    #420 - How Do I Get A Book Published?!
    Nov 6 2024
    Welcome to episode 420! Today, it's just me, and I'm tackling one of the most frequently asked questions I’ve received since the release of my first book, If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry. And that is… “How do I get a book published?” A recent study showed that more than 80% of Americans dream of writing and publishing a book. So, in today’s conversation, I’m going to walk you through the basics of book publishing and share the tips and tricks I learned along the way. If you've ever imagined holding your own book in your hands or are just curious about the publishing world, stick around. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer idea of where to start and how the process works! 2:37 – Understanding Your Options · The different approaches to publishing · Getting an agent · Creating a book proposal 6:50 – Finding Your Team · Researching agents who specialize in your genre · Putting together your query letter · Showing agents your personality 12:03 – The Book Proposal Process · What is a book proposal? · Showing your knowledge and commitment · Sample chapters 15:49 – Self-Publishing and Hybrid Publishing · Hiring your team · Don’t forget about marketing! · Considerations for hybrid publishing 19:25 – Okay… So Where Do I Start?! · Polishing your manuscript · Having a book proposal · Defining your goals + researching options · Establishing relationships + thinking about marketing · Don’t give up! FEATURED QUOTES “If you don't hear back or you get a rejection, you can't let it discourage you. Tons of successful, famous authors have received multiple rejections before finding the right fit. So, you are not alone. It is part of the process.” “The writing community in general is incredibly supportive and has been vital in my own process.” “Publishing a book, writing a book is a marathon, not a sprint…Rejections are going to happen. Timelines are going to change. Things are not going to go the way that you want them to go, but you have to keep going. You have to have that end goal in mind and focus on the end result that you're really, really looking for, because that part is incredibly rewarding.” Punchline Agency https://punchlineagency.com/ Hope Writers https://www.hopewriters.com/ Connect with me: http://www.stillbeingmolly.com http://instagram.com/stillbeingmolly http://instagram.com/canilaughpod http://twitter.com/stillbeingmolly http://facebook.com/stillbeingmolly http://facebook.com/canilaughpod http://tiktok.com/@stillbeingmolly GET YOUR COPY of ‘IF I DON’T LAUGH, I’LL CRY” TODAY: Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/IIDLICbn Amazon: https://amzn.to/48VYFkG ChristianBook: https://bit.ly/IIDLICcb Target: https://bit.ly/3Shh3Q2 Walmart: https://bit.ly/3MmGVpJ Indie Bound: https://bit.ly/IIDLICib Audible: https://amzn.to/3ITcdm8 Kindle: https://amzn.to/3ITaSvv About Can I Laugh On Your Shoulder?
