Carey Green is Dr. Brad Miller’s guest on Episode 181 of “The Beyond Adversity Podcast.”

In this episode, Carey shared how his experiences working in a ministry, dealing with different people, and moving to foreign places have been somewhat a challenge for him.

Carey Green was a pastor in various churches across the US. It was a rewarding and humbling role that he would never trade.

In 2011, Carey began to feel the end of his calling in that role. His conviction was (and is) that the church deserves a Pastor whose heart is entirely in part – and he was not. It was the right move.

Carey experienced disappointment, pain, and discouragement when building a church in that particular location. He and his wife were called in to help save a church when the former pastor’s marriage fell apart. Carey described the event as being like watching the death of a church with his own eyes.

He attempted to fix things with the church and its members at first, but as time passed, he realized that some things were simply beyond his abilities to mend. He had the impression that it wasn’t just working for him but also for the church. He gradually realized that fewer people were there, and the crowd diminished. He resigned, knowing it wouldn’t work, persuading members to choose someone more suited and with whom they could connect. The church subsequently closed down after about a month.

He needed to find a new job, and he was fortunate enough to get recruited as a cable man, where he goes into people’s backyards and disconnects wires if they have not paid their overdue account. He had to take on additional occupations, even if they weren’t what he had planned on doing, to put food on the table and keep in mind that they are only renting a house for his entire family.

Carey eventually returned to ministry and was sent to another church, where he was determined to make it work no matter what. It was almost as if they were having an open conversation with the new church members since they were asking for an opinion on how Carey should govern the church. They held family gatherings where individuals individually spoke up about specific issues, and some issues were resolved only due to this act of communication.

For those spiritually inclined Christians struggling with some elements of life, Episode 181 of The Beyond Adversity Podcast is a must-listen. We have all been in situations where we feel out of control and hopeless because we are left with few options, but as Carey says in this episode, we must never forget that God will not allow anything wrong to happen to us and that we must trust Him that He will provide for all of our needs as long as we are willing to take action because Faith without Action is useless.

Kristine Ovsepian is Brad Miller’s guest on Episode 180 of “The Beyond Adversity Podcast.”

Kristine has a website called Journey to Heal. Through choice, she is all about helping people transform their health and their life by identifying, limiting, and eliminating negative emotions, and to get on with their life of healing and happiness. 

In this episode, Kristine shared how she lived a life surrounded by fear, from fear of life, fear of success, fear of failure, and even fear of fear. She shared how she overcome this limiting belief so she can move forward and create a life worthy of love and success. 

She talks about how she keeps having a mantra and uttering words of affirmations that would eventually affect her mindset and give her positive energy. 

As a mother, all she wanted was to lead a life of example and to be financially free so she can give her children a strong foundation and a good future.

But it seems that she finds herself in dumpster dirt and she faced depression. To overcome this, she managed to get a session with a hypnotherapist and that’s where everything became brighter for her. She literally saw light again.

Kristine proclaims that God is a loving God, and she realizes that, there was such a spiritual aspect connected to hypnotherapy. It’s like the power of the mind.

Kristine made the decision to free herself from a God that was a vengeful God or angry God. In order to heal, she understands that God is a loving God, and is a forgiving God. 

Kristine talks to Brad about how she realized that she was so disconnected from her divinity and spirituality, and now she is able to have deep prayer and meditations and to really connect with God.

Her driving force is her children and she states that as a mother, her role is not only to raise them but to also ensure that she becomes an inspiration for them. She can only do this by healing herself and taking care of herself so she can be the best gift for the children. 

Beyond that Kristine also mentioned taking practical steps, and the first one is “never giving up.” Then deciding to be educated in an area that she likes the most.

Kristine’s story is proof of how a person can change his/her physical conditions if we truly manifest everything and decide to commit to achieving those manifestations. That, the greatest gift we can offer to our loved ones is the love that we give to ourselves. Being the best authentic versions of ourselves will truly help us lead a life of light and happiness. 

Episode 180 of The Beyond Adversity Podcast is a must-listen for any spiritually-minded Christian Entrepreneur looking for an inspirational story of a woman who overcame limiting beliefs and made her way out of fear.

Kimberley Pittman Schulz is Dr. Brad Miller’s guest on Episode 175 of “The Beyond Adversity Podcast.”

Kimberley is an Award-Winning Writer, Philanthropic & End-of-Life Planner, Grief Healing Facilitator.

Kimberley asked, frequently, to speak about death. She, like most of us, is more than a job title. She’s a poet and author who writes on loss, joy, and mindfulness, with a passion for all things wild and winged. As a philanthropic end-of-life planning advisor specifically, why we can be better in our relationships with donors and clients (and ourselves) when we stop avoiding and become comfortable with conversations about death, dying, and end-of-life options. 

She spent 25+ years as a charity estate planning professional and former nonprofit leader helping people from all walks of life create meaningful donations that affect the world as well as their own lives. “Well, that’s excellent employment if you can get it!” said one of Kim’s benefactors early in her career.

In this episode, you’ll discover what it takes to overcome sadness, find your way back, and live wisely as a force for good in the world. She also debunks the notion that pain and joy are opposed. And think that even while grieving and living your life, you can do and exist with enormous delight. 

Kim’s personal experience with grief and death began when she was around three and a half years old, saved from a house fire. However, her two sisters, who were sleeping in the same room as her, could not be spared. As a result, Kim, exposed to loss at an early age, which was terrible for her parents. Her mother forever changed due to the event, so loss has always been a part of who she was.

When we think of grief, we usually think of sadness and other similar emotions, but grief encompasses a wide range of emotions as well as a physical component. Our thoughts, feelings, bodies, and emotions are all intertwined. As a result, if you start steering up one region, it will stir up all of the others. 

For Kim, it got to the point that she sought out one-on-one counseling and a physician who wanted to put her on antidepressant medication. There are instances when sadness turns into true clinical depression, but Kim felt in her bones that this was unresolved grief, not depression, at the moment. It did, however, give her a sense of urgency, and she didn’t want to be there forever. 

It was debilitating, and Kim struggled to sit in meetings. She should be leading a group of people, but she didn’t care. Nothing was important. She eventually left that job and took one that was less demanding since she needed to take care of herself.

Anyone struggling with the death of a loved one should listen to Episode 175 of The Beyond Adversity Podcast. This audio demonstrates how to effectively deal with concerns such as emotional, physical, and mental stress when dealing with death. This episode reminds us that life is more extensive than what we’re going through right now, and all we have to do is deal with the pain and keep moving on in life.

Anu Wat is Dr. Brad Miller’s guest on Episode 170 of The Beyond Adversity Podcast

Anu is an academic expert, education expert, and mentor with 15+ years of experience as an immigrant consultant for students focusing on teaching and education services in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Vietnam, and many more. She is also the founder of Wings Education, which helps other people immigrating and mentors them to overcome fear and judgment.

In this episode, Anu shares her experiences of overcoming the challenges of her migration journey. She also shares her experience of being a woman and navigating through a culture that did underestimate women. 

She talks about how women in India don’t have much freedom, unlike in the United States. For her, freedom in the US is a supportive environment where nobody judges her. In every step of her life when she lived in India, “I get out of the door, and five betrayals are waiting for me.”

With this toxic environment, “Any place of association for a person, there are hundreds of betrayals because everybody is looking for their own benefit.”

Not only did Anu take a leap of faith, but she also took the actions to move from India to the US and broke the norms of women from her country. The reason she moved to the US was poverty. Seeing her parents live life not knowing how to afford Education and groceries made her migrate and study abroad.

Anu didn’t want to live in poverty. She wanted to be her own woman without being dependent on her parents or a husband. She took charge of her life and made the risk all worth it. y

In her words, “I don’t want to see my parents live in this life in the future. On top of that, I don’t want to live a life of constant worry.”

With her experience of being scammed, she vows to help others who are migrating to other countries to reach their goals. When she went for help from a consultant, they only took her money and never actually helped her. So with Wings Education, she vows to make an impact and help people not experience what she experienced. By helping one person at a time, she knows that she can change the lives of others and the future generations to come.

The story of Anu Wat is both exceptional and inspiring. Overcoming the cultural barriers and the norms from her country and taking the leap to have a better life is a testament to bravery and determination. Facing the fear and the desire to have a better life than poverty is what made Anu the woman she is today.
