| 6/22/26 | ![]() 68. Aging Gratefully & Surrendering our Joy Stealers with Heather Creekmore and Doris Swift | Listen in as Charlotte welcomes guests Heather Creekmore and Doris Swift. Heather and Doris are authors, speakers, podcast hosts and more. And they are aging gratefully with us! Heather wrote Aging Gratefully, Compared to Who? and The Comparison Free Life. Doris wrote Surrender the Joy Stealers. All books are available on Amazon. Friends, these books are so helpful, and we need them. In this podcast episode, we talk about struggles many women face but rarely speak about openly: body image, midlife, how to age gratefully and what comes to steal our joy as we juggle so much in our encore years. Heather shares a bit about her own journey, one that many of us women have struggled with - years of dieting, disordered eating, and the belief that changing our body would finally bring happiness. Marriage and motherhood don’t resolve these struggles. For Heather, a message about modern-day idolatry led to a powerful awakening in her heart. Charlotte and Doris have their own body image journeys and share from the heart as well. Cultural messages fuel our obsession with appearance, how comparison robs us of our joy, and why true freedom comes from understanding our God-given identity—not from pursuing the latest health trend or fitting into a certain pair of jeans. Doris shares about what led her to write her power Bible study, Surrender the Joy Stealers, and how we can stand firm and stand against what threatens our joy. It’s a task that requires daily surrender and intentionality. Whether you’ve battled body image insecurities, comparison in any area of your life, or the pressures of aging in a looks-obsessed world, this honest and hope-filled conversation will inspire you to pursue joy, purpose, and your fierce calling right where you are. Speaking of Fierce Calling, that is the name of Doris’s podcast. Heather’s is called Compared to Who? You’ll want to tune in to both. Get ready for truths, laughter, encouragement, and the reminder that you are so much more than a number on a scale, a face in the mirror or a person juggling much in the empty nest. Together, and with Christ at the center of it all, we can have a full and joy-filled life. To reach Heather Creekmore, click here.

The idea of our own "righteous anger" and is a problem in our societies today.Listen in as Charlotte and Brant discuss that relinquishing the right to be offended can be liberating.

But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also."Matthew 18:21-22 - "Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?"

| 5/12/22 | ![]() 32 - Empty Nesting and Your Fierce Calling - with Doris Swift | You Have a Fierce Calling Yes! Even in the encore years you have a call on your life. God has great purposes for you. Your life has meaning and, each day, He has a mission for you. Why do we forget that as empty nesters? Listen in as Charlotte and Doris Swift, host of the Fierce Calling podcast, talk about: · What having a “call” on your life means (and one that is “fierce”) · Why some empty nesters have lost a calling · How we need to surround ourselves with “dream defenders” · Why we need to NOT compare our calling with others (and what Jesus says about that) Before being called into something, we are called to some One. Jesus calls us to Him to carry out the very missions He created us to do. Doris is a devoted follower of Jesus. She is passionate about discipleship and encouraging others to walk deeper in biblical truth and in their calling. As a leader and lay counselor, Doris is blessed to assist people in discovering God’s solutions to their needs. She loves unveiling how they can use their gifts to impact the world for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God. Her Fierce Calling Podcast will encourage, equip, and engage you to walk deeper in God’s word, bloom in your fierce calling, and use your gifts to impact the world for Christ. Learning through community is an amazing thing and our voices matter. We all have a sphere of influence. God places us where we are for a reason. In ministry for over 30 years, Doris is blessed to be on staff at her church and serves as a Christian lay counselor. She is an author, speaker, and podcast host who loves encouraging people to flourish in their calling and purpose. Charlotte and Doris agree that God has plans for each one of us. God knows us personally and He is calling us to know Him more. He is also calling us to tell others about Him so they can know Him more. It’s exciting to see those plans come to life in the encore years! We’d love to share some time with you. Scriptures for our podcast: * Eph. 3: 16 - 19 “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” * Romans 8:16 “For His Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.” * Romans 15:13 “I pray that God, the source of hope will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then, you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” * John 15:5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me and I in them will produce much fruit. For apart from me, you can do nothing.” To reach Doris: FIERCE CALLING PODCAST WITH DORIS SWIFT part of the Spark Network and Fierce Calling Ministries ⋆ ...BECAUSE EVERY WOMAN OF GOD HAS A FIERCE CALLING Click to join Doris’s email list.
