Interview with special guest 12 year old Landen Carter who shares his story of the past several years of his life. He talks about going through the divorce of his parents, failing grades in school at that time, bullies, changes in his life, loss of loved ones and how the pandemic affected him. He wants you to know that you are not the only one feeling what you are feeling and that you can reach out. Hang in there, hold on it will get better. It may even get worse before it gets better, but it will get better. All of it got better for him. He is excelling in school like never before. He has a better understanding of how everyone no matter their age has stuff they are going through, and often times its easy to perceive things differently than they truly are, so show some grace and have some understanding. If anything be kind. It eventually pays off. But do not fight your battles alone.

Life is Hard, We all Need More Grace Today I want to talk to you about some things that need to be spoken out loud that people don’t really talk about. So I want to break the ice and bring some understanding to a conversation that needs to be spoken. The holiday season is the year that more people are depressed, sad and lonely. But throughout the year many suffer in silent pain. They have so many things they are facing that overwhelm them, but they are embarrassed, humiliated and sad, broken and lost, living in physical pain and fear of the unknown, that they don’t know how to share this emotional pain with anyone. They want too, but then they don’t feel they can add anymore of the bad feelings to this mounting pressure of someone else thinking any less of them than they already are feeling within themselves. So they suffer in silence until they simply just can’t anymore and many take their lives. They don’t want to let anyone down, they don’t want to disappoint, but all they know to do is just take themselves out of the picture. They are tired, they have worked so hard to stay upbeat and try to stay positive to try to believe it will get better, to try to cover it up so no one will know. They are often the ones we think are so strong, and fun. That is what they want to be, but eventually it all is just too much weight to carry. I want you to know that you can humble yourself before the Lord and He will hear all of it and not judge you. He already paid the price for all that and if you will seek Him you will find Him. He is gracious. We all do go through trials and what seems like tribulations. And we question why we are having to endure those things, but the answers and the timing lie in how we respond and what we will learn to make us stronger. Truth it is not always easy, in fact most times its a big struggle, but the alternative should never be an option because it is much more trying and going towards no good resolution. In the next podcast I will have a visitor who will share how things in his life turned around. He’s twelve years old. Be sure to come and listen.

I'm speaking directly to you regardless of who you are or how old you are, from my heart to yours. My testimony in this life is faith.

Conquer Stress and Find the Joy (Ep. 20) Hello every one of you! This is my 20th episode with you. I want to note that you can find me first on dianahudgins.com, on Apple and Google Podcasts, on Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Audible and about every social media platform there is. Simply search for my name and or this podcast Life, it’s a Big Faith Journey. So now on to business of wishing you a very Blessed Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! In podcast 18 I spoke about gearing ourselves towards our new year’s resolutions a bit ahead of time and adding in more joy and less stress into our holiday season. I felt it deserved more attention so I wanted to go a bit further into it in this podcast. Please share this podcast with others. There is special message at the end. Here we are into the holiday season a time for family and friends. No desire for drama but find it is often times hard to accommodate everyone’s wishes. Its such a busy time and there is much time spent planning and shopping and preparing to find it is all gone in a matter of what seems like moments, completely gone overall in day or two. Feeling rushed and frustrated and tired most time during the season who in the world will find the time to simply enjoy this time of year? You are! I have some tips for you today to make your holiday season a more positive one. The question keeps coming up about whether or not you have your Christmas decor up before Thanksgiving. I say why not combine the both after all I think we need to learn to be thankful for what we already have as we go into a time of giving and receiving. Have you ever heard the saying that we should have Christmas all year? That spirit should be the theme of our lives. What people need to realize is this comes from your heart not your pocket book. It comes from your peace and your joy not your stress level or the need to impress anyone. I am reminding you to shake it off and be free.

Happiness was Lubbock, Texas for Us (Ep.6) In the last episode I revealed how my big faith journey began, in this one entitled Happiness is Lubbock Texas I will share where my faith went from there and how I kept it going. It is very tough in a world with so much going on and going wrong. Its hard most days to keep your chin up. The enemy is waging war upon us, but it is so important to keep ourselves in “faith shape”, to be rested and to be good to ourselves so we are ready and able to live this life and serve our God. We must learn to trust God in all things and to pray about every one of them no matter how big or small or even how silly our prayers may seem at times. We must know that God cares about what we want because He cares for us. He wants us to talk to Him and depend on Him for every little thing. So if you haven’t listened to the previous podcast episode 5 please do, for this one is a continuance. I want to encourage you to take all of your worries, all of your cares, all of those you love and are concerned about and envision yourself carrying them in your arms and placing them at the throne of God, laying them at His feet and looking up to God and saying, Father I leave these things here with you to take care of. I trust you to do so. And then walking away. When you find yourself worrying about them, panicking about them, I want you to once again envision yourself trying to sneak over and begin pulling those things closer to you. And then realize STOP, don’t do it! You said you would trust Him. Whatever you are facing, you have to leave it all there and trust God to work. Keep activating it and speaking those positive words of faith. Remain patient. Thank you for deciding to come and listen to me and about my story of faith. Until next time….keep the faith, and remember that nothing is ever over, until and if God says it is. Trust Him at His Word. -Diana Hudgins Support the show [https://www.paypal.me/DianaHudgins27] Mon Jul 26 2021 Life, it's a Big Faith Journey Encouraging stories and lessons to lead you to successful destinations along the path of life.

Live Your Life on Purpose (Ep.7) Let’s talk about how life takes purposeful thought and of course courage, it always has, but it really does even more so today, for we live in a whole new time that is full of challenges. Therefore, be excited for God is calling us to a new season. There is no way we can be Superman or Wonder Woman, but we can strive to be the best we can be without feeling we have to over extend ourselves and by not doing so we can focus more on being mindful to take care of ourselves, get the proper rest and eat the right things and feed ourselves spiritually as much as we can, so yes we can be the best that we were meant to be to be able to fulfill God's calling upon our lives. - Diana Hudgins Support the show [https://www.paypal.me/DianaHudgins27] (https://www.paypal.me/DianaHudgins27) Mon Aug 09 2021 Life, it's a Big Faith Journey Encouraging stories and lessons to lead you to successful destinations along the path of life.

This is How We Find Hope in 'All' Times (Ep.8) Oh what times we are living in. Somedays it is truly tough to remain positive isn’t it? I know it is because I to struggle. We all need hope. So many of us are suffering and we need help and encouragement to get through those tough times and lately those times seem to be hanging around way too long as they feel relentless. We find ourselves feeling discouraged and depressed even. There are a lot of unsettling things going on so no wonder a person finds it difficult to stay upbeat. We do not often know how to or what to ask for and so often times that keeps us from reaching out for what we truly need because to be perfectly honest we may not even know what it is that we need to help us feel encouraged again. There is more than one way but I have some important ones I want to touch base on and share some of the lessons learned and words spoken that have helped me learn to encourage and remind myself how to keep going. I hope to help answer some of that hopelessness and help you to be able to learn by daily habit to encourage yourself as I talk to you in our time together. - Diana Hudgins Support the show [https://www.paypal.me/DianaHudgins27] (https://www.paypal.me/DianaHudgins27) Tue Aug 17 2021 Life, it's a Big Faith Journey Encouraging stories and lessons to lead you to successful destinations along the path of life.

Discover Yourself by Sharing You with Someone Else (Ep.9) I have something you will really want to spend some time doing with especially with everything going on in our world, so let’s shift our focus on something else and something good and positive. Today’s topic is about a time in I grew a lot in getting to know myself better and opening my eyes to the world without even leaving home! Never in my life have I ever learned more about myself and why i do the things I do than when I have had to share my life with someone else. Now I am not just talking about say marrying someone and then living together or having a child and teaching them all the many things. No, I am talking about another way to learn these things, it was when my family and I truly were awakened through hosting an exchange student and sharing our cultures with one another. I found myself explaining so much in detail to help someone else understand my culture and help them to get to know who I am yet all along the way I begin to put a whole lot more thought into who I really am and how God created me to be. Let’s talk today about how this opportunity brought a whole new revelation to life by saying yes and allowing it to unfold.

Have We Lost Our Joy and are We Stuck? (Ep.10) You know when you get to feeling your life is just stuck and you just can’t seem feel upbeat because you are just not feeling the enthusiasm for life? Or are you someone that feels that this is it, life isn’t never going to get any better? Are you so bogged down by the talk of the world? Being selective and then being intentional is really important to your overall health. Feeling encouraged and alive is much more than what foods you chose to take into your body, its about all the things you chose to ta into your overall well being. You have found times you just feel numb to many things, you feel tired, your semi-happy emotions, your basic mediocre contentment level has finally learned to settle for this speed. You wake up feeling a little more motivated and thinking just maybe I can reach higher today, but all those thoughts are shot down before you even really get your day started? All because someone said something that didn’t set right with you or you turned on to hear all the negative news or something came up against you to what you felt was setting the tone to how your day was going to unfold. Those few times turn into more often times that you are just going through the days not really feeling like you are ever going to get where your heart once desired to be? You hope that reading a new motivational book or try to find something to kick your inspiration into gear might help. Yes it very well may, but then yet tomorrow you just are not as committed? Today let’s talk about how to keep ourselves inspired to build on a foundation of happiness and joy.

Allowing Ourselves to Change Like the Seasons Do (Ep.13) Hey everyone can you believe it's almost October? It got me to thinking about seasons as we are approaching Fall. We often hear people talk about seasons of life. They say such things as "Oh what a tough season this has been" or "I am entering into a new season of life." In this episode I share my testimony of how some "new season resolutions" in my life clicked and became part of my life. When I was a student I found myself living and planning my life in semesters. I loved the semesters of planning goals and reaching those goals in short periods of time actually. Planning my life in semesters was really good for me. Those short term goals got me to the ultimate goal, the degree in which I was earning. There were a lot of semesters and after three degrees so I missed school and my semester planning my life out in that way but, thank God I learned to live my life in seasons. My husband is probably happy about that too. You know there were things like tuition. Actually seasons are like semesters, they have the same names, Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. And guess what here we are entering into a new season, the season of Fall. What are your goals going to be? Let the old fall off and the new step into place. Our minds are powerful and once we set our minds to do something we engage the power to enforce it. A new season is about filling those old places with some new things to try and give the opportunity to change as well. You don’t have to wait for a new year, a new season is here. Chose some things you want to seek change have the opportunity and do your research and pray about it. God will answer you.

God Has Been Talking to Me About You.....(Ep.11) Are you worried and living in some fear ? Does one day seem to be ok and the next you live in upset? Or say life just isn’t want you want it to feel like? I want to talk a little about prayer today and then I want to pray a special prayer over you, over all of us. I feel so much better as soon as I begin to talk to God. When things bother me I am reminded of Who my God is. I cannot begin to express the relief I feel when I begin speaking out loud to God about Who He is to me. As you are thinking about all that bothers you listen carefully to Who God is to me and you can say it right along with me as I pause a bit for you to do so and see how this makes you feel. He is my provider, my healer, my Lord, my Father, my savior, my comforter, my teacher, my faithful leader. When He is your everything the list of Who He is to you never ends. When I simply began saying Who He is to me peace overcomes me. We are living in some tough times but you know what I am not settling for this new normal. I am expecting God’s Hand to move and things will get better than this when I line my life with what He expects of me. For the past week God has been placing the scripture John 10:10 on my heart. It says “I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.” It has given me great comfort. I want to talk to God on our behalf. You can come into agreement with me by saying you receive this prayer. Ok, here we go...

Leading in Your Life and in Your Teams (Ep.15) Welcome to Life, it’s a Big Faith Journey. I am your host Diana Hudgins. My podcast and writings are about faith one for it is my testimony as well as the fact that daily life takes faith, to do a lot of what we do. Somedays it takes faith and courage to get out of bed and face the day and show up. We aspire to succeed and do great things. I can’t help but think of Travis Tritt’s song “I’m Gonna Be Somebody.” [https://youtu.be/N3oO2edwEO8] We all have dreamt of being someone someday. But to be truthful you already are. You just have to decide to get up and take part of what God has in store for you today. He wants us all to lead a good life. He calls His children to rise up and so, let’s talk leadership, and being a leader that people will remember. Let’s also talk about teamwork. Let’s talk how to lead successfully. It might take a little more effort on your part but these lessons are easy to to comprehend and remember. Before we ever begin to work on a team at our jobs, we have been learning since the days of being a young child discovering and playing with other children. Of course then there is being part of a family, being a part of a team at school and church and even being married. Anytime you must work together on anything you are part of a team. While working on a team together can get the job done verses working alone, everyone must contribute to a team to do their part, but no one person should take it all upon themselves for there is no “I” in the word team and sometimes that is difficult for some people, especially micro-managers. -Diana Hudgins Support the show [https://www.paypal.me/DianaHudgins27] (https://www.paypal.me/DianaHudgins27) Mon Oct 04 2021 Life, it's a Big Faith Journey Encouraging stories and lessons to lead you to successful destinations along the path of life.

Take the Leading Role in Your Life (Ep,12) Let’s talk today about boldness and standing up for what you believe to be true and right that works in any of the areas of your life. We were all called to be leader starting with our own choice of how we live our lives. Yes, there are great leaders and there are mediocre leaders and then just really poor leaders. Which one are you? God has called each one of us to be the light unto the world. So regardless of whether you chose to be, you are an example to others, you are a leader. The question is what kind are you? You were called and appointed to this. It’s one of those “If not you, then who moments”. Let’s be clear: leadership isn’t always about standing at a podium or having some title, it is a role you are called too for God made you to have a voice with the ability to make a difference in this world and it determines the path of the destiny of how you will lead your life and influence others or not. It doesn’t care about your age or any specifics about you. Maybe you have not considered these points before and maybe you will decide to start today. Being a parent you are a leader. Being a sibling, you are an influence therefore you are a leader. Your leadership role is your responsibility to take on and it holds you accountable and responsible first in how you will lead your life story, your legacy. We automatically look at our babies and can see ways they are learning to determine the character they are already building. Leadership is not just in the career mode of our lives, it first begins within us in making choices in our lives and leading the way. Leadership begins within your own personal life and choices regardless of what roles you are choosing to take on or called to participate in. Leadership starts here and it is up to you to claim your destiny of success or failure. God calls His people to lead So no matter who you are I have something here today for each of you to ponder. - Diana Hudgins Support the show [https://www.paypal.me/DianaHudgins27] (https://www.paypal.me/DianaHudgins27) Mon Sep 13 2021 Life, it's a Big Faith Journey Encouraging stories and lessons to lead you to successful destinations along the path of life.

From Brokenness (Pandemic Life) to Finding Our Lives Again (Ep.19) There is a lot more going on in our world than many of us are aware of. And that has always been true, but no truer than now. God continues to put on my heart that He has a message to so many of you about what it is that you need to hear from Him. This podcast is speaking with several messages of encouragement so please keep listening and you will hear the message that was meant for you, you may even find that each message was meant for you or for someone you know that needs to hear this. God says that he doesn’t want for you to doubt, to be troubled, He wants those who have lost much to begin to win back their lives and more, He wants to speak to those who struggle in the day to day, to those who feel sadness and fear and worry. To those who question, to seek and find the right answers, to those who feel stuck in this same ole place for way too long to rise up out of the ashes and move on to a destiny and a future. God wants so much for you to shake off all the misery and be encouraged in Him and He doesn’t want to you to continue to live in the midst of those feelings of despair and defeat and feel as if the door has been shut in your face too many times, but instead to have it opened to the journey which is awaiting for you to travel.

The power of your life is in your words and your thoughts, so chose them well and give life by thinking and speaking them well of others too. Be a life giver and a life changer. Let it begin in you. I'm speaking directly to you regardless of who you are or how old you are, from my heart to yours. My testimony in this life is faith. When I truly surrendered to God it began with giving everything I had to him and it was no small task, it was all about having really big faith, believing Him without a doubt. I had to believe Him for everything. I challenge you to get out of your comfort zone. As for me I want to do something so big it's destine to fail without You Lord, something so great it's gonna take a miracle to do. I want to be like Peter who walked on water! I hear God saying "Diana, get out of the boat!" For me my faith is all or nothing! By believing I have nothing to loose so I am all in. "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Proverbs 18:21.Which words will you chose? The positive words of life or the negative words of death? Those negative words that steal, kill and destroy life. The power of your life is in your words, so speak them well and give life by speaking them well of others too. Be an encourager.We must not be afraid when it matters, when it means saving and changing lives we must speak boldly and sometimes bluntly if we want to make a difference in this world. More often times than not it takes courage and putting our vulnerability out there to save a life or two or three. And when evangelist Eva Dooley touched my lips and prophesied over me she said "You have been silent, but you will be silent no more" that is exactly what she meant. She's right, I am silent no more.

Jumpstart Resolutions and Put Joy into this Season (Ep.18) Do you realize that we can decide at any point to make positive changes in our lives. But it is at this time of year, here we are entering into November that we begin to hear discussion about the end of this year and the approaching new year and its new beginning. You know people wait until the new year arrives and then shortly after they lose focus and commitment. Research says it takes 21 days to establish a new habit or routine. By starting now, by the time 2022 arrives may we already be established in a “renewed mindset” so when the new year arrives we will have that extra “new year momentum” to keep us going in the positive direction we wish to have in 2022. May we each be wiser, stronger and better and together be the best. So in this podcast may we begin preparing our thoughts to be upon making it one of our very best holiday seasons without putting a lot of stress and pressure on ourselves. -Diana Hudgins Support the show [https://www.paypal.me/DianaHudgins27] Thu Nov 04 2021 Life, it's a Big Faith Journey Encouraging stories and lessons to lead you to successful destinations along the path of life.

Conquer Stress and Find the Joy (Ep. 20) Hello every one of you! This is my 20th episode with you. I want to note that you can find me first on dianahudgins.com, on Apple and Google Podcasts, on Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Audible and about every social media platform there is. Simply search for my name and or this podcast Life, it’s a Big Faith Journey. So now on to business of wishing you a very Blessed Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! In podcast 18 I spoke about gearing ourselves towards our new year’s resolutions a bit ahead of time and adding in more joy and less stress into our holiday season. I felt it deserved more attention so I wanted to go a bit further into it in this podcast. Please share this podcast with others. There is special message at the end. Here we are into the holiday season a time for family and friends. No desire for drama but find it is often times hard to accommodate everyone’s wishes. Its such a busy time and there is much time spent planning and shopping and preparing to find it is all gone in a matter of what seems like moments, completely gone overall in day or two. Feeling rushed and frustrated and tired most time during the season who in the world will find the time to simply enjoy this time of year? You are! I have some tips for you today to make your holiday season a more positive one. The question keeps coming up about whether or not you have your Christmas decor up before Thanksgiving. I say why not combine the both after all I think we need to learn to be thankful for what we already have as we go into a time of giving and receiving. Have you ever heard the saying that we should have Christmas all year? That spirit should be the theme of our lives. What people need to realize is this comes from your heart not your pocket book. It comes from your peace and your joy not your stress level or the need to impress anyone. I am reminding you to shake it off and be free.
