But the reality is that we don't actually know what the Bible says. Coincidentally, Eve also found herself in that situation when the serpent questioned her, "Did God REALLY say that?" And it begs the question, do we really know what the Bible says in general?

In a society filled with pressures and burdens, the last thing you need as a woman and mama is to have the burden of "looking pretty". In this episode, Amy talks about something she recently experienced, and how the judgements of other women can weigh heavy. We take a look at 1 Peter 3, and what God has to say about true beauty. We encourage one another to do what makes us happy, not what burdens us in this lifestyle of beauty. If "making" yourself beautiful is something you love doing, that's great! If you don't want to wear makeup, that's ok too! But at no time should it ever be a burden to you. IN THIS EPISODE --  "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves."

The reality is that there are several different ways to find joy, but the ultimate key is choosing and creating joy. Listen to some stories I share in this week's episode, and maybe even carve some time to find your own joy today.  • • IN THIS PODCAST • • All scriptures taken from the NIV  version of the Bible. "...and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." -- 2 Corinthians 10:5 "Rejoice always, pray continually,  give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." -- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." -- Romans 12:12 "Though the fig tree does not bud  and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails  and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen  and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord,  I will be joyful in God my Savior." -- Habakuk 3:17-18 "Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, or because of these surpassingly great revelations.Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.  That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." -- 2 Corinthians 12:6-10  • • FOLLOW ME ONLINE • • Facebook: www.facebook.com/thefewellhomestead/ Instagram: @amy.fewell Website: www.thefewellhomestead.com    ---   Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/amy-fewell/support

I have recently been asked why we're continuing to host the Homesteaders of America conference in a state were most people don't agree with their politics.
