Episode Details

Have you been surprised, perhaps, disappointed with the trials, twists and turns your life has taken whether it be illness, estrangement, grief or even infertility? Is facing one or more of those things with joy and peace and strength only a matter of rethinking your thinking?  

Today our guest is Angela Mackey – an RN, mother of 3 and of a fairly recent orphan; her passion is encourage others to worship though the Word and glorify God with their daily lives.

Some gems from our conversation:

• Changing our thought life through the Word leads to living a life of worship.
• As we think, so we are and so we do.
• I used to think that if I lived a certain good life, God was obliged to bless me. I needed to rethink my thinking.
• I had to ask myself: Do I want to know God better for who he is or just focus on how he's working in my life?
• God is bigger than any conflict or confusion in our minds and hearts.
• I was able to admit I'm mad at God but I still really needed him nearby. 
• Having a child doesn't solve all the feelings of infertility. 
• Understanding the Word shows us how to live.
• If I never have a child, I can ask God: "What are other ways I can nurture? How can I pour into the next generation?"
• Life is more than motherhood.
