Hello! Welcome, or welcome back to 2 Trees in a Pod! This episode, listen along as we compare and contrast the differences between happiness and joy. We look into the comparisons made by Compassion International and then segway into a deep dive into Ecclesiastes (if you haven't read this book in the Bible, you will feel like you did after listening! We still recommend checking it out for yourself.) Solomon is known as one of the wisest men to have ever lived, and his insights into happiness and joy are worth discussing again in the future.  This is our longest episode yet, and we finally feel like we're getting a little flow in these recordings, which is exciting! Also, please excuse the moments of background noise, we are looking into a better recording method :)  Compassion Int.

Hi friends! Welcome back, or welcome, to 2 Trees in a Pod! We are so glad you are here :) In this week's episode, we unpack the many realities of your 20s that come along with all the emotions... from anxiety about the future, to FOMO in the present... and to reflection on your recent past, this decade is a whirlwind. We share some of our own mini-crises experienced thus far into our 20s, which of these realities we are currently struggling with, and top it off with a little biblical wisdom. This can be a crazy time, whether you are in your 20s yourself or have loved ones going through it, we hope this chat helps you to feel less alone in the process <3 "When I am afraid, I put my trust in You. In God, whose word I praise- In God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?" Psalm 56:3-4 While we all go through this crazy journey, let us remember that God has already solved any problem we might face. Let us not be afraid of tomorrow!  Follow us on Instagram for updates on the show! https://www.instagram.com/2treesinapod/

Welcome back, and happy Tuesday! We are so glad to be sharing this episode with you on community. If you've spoken to us lately, you would know how much we adore and value this community in New Hampshire that we have been blessed with recently. In this episode, we share our perspectives as introverts/ extroverts, discuss why community is a need, and lay out some simple and easy directions on how to actually find a church home. We also talk about the impact our small community groups have had on our faith life and mental health. "But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin."1 John 1:7  We are meant to be with other people, in fellowship with each other! Let us know your thoughts/ comments on community and if you have anything you'd like us to touch on next.  Follow us on Instagram for updates on the show! https://www.instagram.com/2treesinapod/
