This Episode: Episode 85 | How to Cope With Losing a Child: Finding Hope Through Grief How can you lose someone you love and still believe that God is good? Five months after a devastating car accident that took the life of her 13-year-old son, Parker, my friend Marla Gale joins me for an extraordinary conversation about faith, grief, and the presence of God in our hardest moments. Marla shares the beautiful life Parker lived, the spiritual impressions her family experienced before the accident, and the remarkable circumstances that helped save her life. She also explains why her grief has been accompanied by unexpected hope, what she believes about life after death, and why she feels more certain than ever that every life has a purpose. This episode is a deeply personal testimony of God's love, even when life doesn't make sense. __________________ Show Notes: 💌 Join my email list: https://mailchi.mp/lizzyjensen/podcast-shownotes-email-capture Course Waitlist: https://lizzyjensen.com/ Follow Marla: https://www.instagram.com/themarlagale/ Hebrews 12:2 (KJV) “...who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross…” ____________________ Topics & Timestamps 00:00 - Why Am I Still Here? 02:04 - Remembering Parker's Beautiful Life 07:13 - Parker's Extraordinary Faith 12:22 - Making a Case for God 13:36 - The Promptings Before Tragedy 20:12 - Parker's Organ Donation Wish 22:16 - Finding God in the Accident 32:00 - Why Didn't God Prevent It? 36:46 - Finding Purpose in Being Alive 46:04 - Grief Without Despair 52:04 - Turning Pain Into Purpose 54:00 - Marla's Continuing Mission ~ About The Lizzy Jensen Show: The Lizzy Jensen show has a simple mission to empower you with the confidence and courage to live your most beautiful and abundant life.

This Episode: Episode 84 | When Life Doesn't Go as Planned: Trusting God With Your Next Chapter After eight years and roughly 330 interviews hosting the All In podcast, Morgan Jones Pearson has spent more time than most asking people about faith, suffering, happiness, and what matters most. Now, as she prepares to close that chapter and embrace a new season of motherhood, I'm turning the questions back on her. We talk about whether faith really makes us happier, why questioning God can be part of spiritual growth, what she's learned from people who've experienced unimaginable loss, and how to navigate relationships when family members believe differently. Morgan also opens up about the experiences that tested her own faith and what being “all in” means to her today. It's a thoughtful conversation about trusting God, letting go of expectations, and finding purpose in the life unfolding in front of you. 💌 Join my email list: https://mailchi.mp/lizzyjensen/podcast-shownotes-email-capture Course Waitlist: https://lizzyjensen.com/ All In Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-in/id1439975046 Follow Morgan: https://www.instagram.com/morganjonespearson/ ____________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Eight Years of Life Lessons 05:02 - When Life Changes Your Plans 08:07 - How All In Began 16:50 - Does Faith Make Us Happier? 22:06 - Religion vs. Real Discipleship 29:05 - Finding Strength Through Suffering 31:40 - Is Questioning Your Faith Okay? 38:31 - What Tested Morgan's Faith 46:00 - Motherhood, Identity, and Legacy 57:25 - What Being All In Means ~ About The Lizzy Jensen Show: The Lizzy Jensen show has a simple mission to empower you with the confidence and courage to live your most beautiful and abundant life.

This Episode: Episode 81 | Your Efforts Matter: How to Make a Difference Where You Are What if you don't need to change the world to make a meaningful difference? As Season 3 begins, I'm sharing why I questioned whether to return to the podcast, what I've been thinking about the choices facing women today, and why I believe it's time to move beyond talking about our problems and start building something better. Through the remarkable story of Antonina Żabińska, who helped rescue hundreds of people during World War II, we'll explore what it means to use the resources, relationships, and opportunities already in front of us. Whether you're a student, a mother, or entering an entirely new season of life, this episode is an invitation to stop feeling powerless and start making a difference right where you are. ~ Show Notes: 💌 Join my email list, and the free Builder List will be sent to your email! https://mailchi.mp/lizzyjensen/podcast-shownotes-email-capture Statistics mentioned: - 50 years ago, 8% of women (25 and older) earned a bachelor's degree. - 2 years ago, 38% of women had a bachelor’s degree. - Today, 47% of women (ages 25-34) hold a bachelor’s degree.
