How is God using your voice amidst your overwhelming hardships? with Julie Hamilton

Stephanie welcomes Julie Hamilton on the show today. We talk about the process of refinement God uses in our lives: it often feels messy, maybe even downright crushing at times, but it's all a matter of perspective: will we choose to focus on our pain, or on His purpose? We're digging down to the core of our identity today.

Some spices are ready for use straight from your garden. Others require crushing, grounding, drying, and much more, to release the flavors that enthrall us. Do you want to enthrall and astonish God, and the world, with the depth of your Gospel spice? Then let Him do His work. 

Julie used to be riddled with such anxiety, she could not even leave her house. Now, Julie builds strong and healthy lives one podcast at a time! Faith based podcaster, speaker, radio and TV co-host and encourager, Julie has been married for 21 years, is a mom of two girls & loves living in Napa Valley.

What happened? Take a listen to find out! You will be encouraged to step out beyond the pain of the process, to embrace the God behind the process. And then, we'll discuss how to nurture your spiritual gifts to impact the Kingdom in small and big ways!

Today's episode is two friends enjoying the flavors of life together. Come and join us!

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10

“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 isn’t a poetic suggestion — it’s a promise. But many believers quietly assume it doesn’t really work, or it’s not really possible – or they’ve kinda lost sight of it along the way.

In "Awaken Delight," I’m inviting you to rediscover what Scripture actually means by delight in God— not emotional hype, not religious performance, but a steady satisfaction rooted in who God is. Through biblical theology and practical rhythms, you will learn how communion with God reshapes suffering, quiets restless striving, and anchors your identity in something unshakable.

"Awaken Delight" is a theologically grounded spiritual formation book for thoughtful believers who feel spiritually fatigued, and ready to embrace the reality of Psalm 37:4.
