Katie was just weeks into launching this podcast and laying the initial groundwork for ”WLTYAC & HTMTA” when the world was thrown the Covid-19 Curve. Katie responded by making the adjustment and demonstrated how to respond to a crisis – in real-time. Of course, this situation was no one’s plan, but since this is the type of thing -helping others learn to navigate the unexpected challenges of life, is one of the very reasons for which the podcast exists, Katie felt that she should share practical insight on how to respond to different types of crisis or emergencies and thus does one of the things she does best- she made the adjustment. However, almost 11 months have passed since the world has been navigating this uncharted territory. Katie knows how important it is to have a firm and solid foundation with anything you hope to build on if there is any hope of sustainability. Therefore, Katie hit pause on other upcoming content and took us back to both in time so she could continue what she began in hopes of completing a foundation for this podcast that is solid, firm, and complete within the 1st year of the podcast launch. NOW… onto THIS EVENTFUL EPISODE. In “Plan B”, Katie addresses the birth pains of change, why pain can be a critical component of experiencing joy, and what to do when things don’t go according to our game plan. Get warm and ready, as serious storytime is about to ensue. Please be advised: this episode may contain content not suitable for all viewers and listeners.

We’ve made it to “S” in this series, “P.U.R.S.U.E. Unity”. In this podcast, we focus on 2 main areas. The first is the importance of the words we Speak (hint: Be careful little mouth what you say) and what role they play regarding our destiny. The other subject we explore is what exactly it is that Separates us to begin with... (hint: it’s Sin!!). Separation from God the Father came as aresult of Sin.... all the way back from that fateful day in the garden. But praise be to GOD! The good news of Salvation is that Jesus paid it all and bought us (ALL OF HUMANITY) back, so we could be reconciled to God and enjoy perfect unity with the Father!!...Various Scripture from the episode:Ephesians 2:10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.Romans 12:1 (NKJV)I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.2 Corinthians 10:5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; (the first half of this verse is the one I was blanking on during the show! Of course, I remembered it driving home!)Romans 10:9-10If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”Follow me on social media:FB: https://www.facebook.com/whenlifethrowsyouacurve32IG: @whenlifethrowsyouacurve32 or @katiehamilton32

In this episode, Katie talks all about “U”. In an effort to accurately pursue unity, she covers topics like how to stay unoffended, the negative effects of not forgetting and forgiving, as well as the benefits to exploring a disagreement from another perspective. However, this aspiration cannot be accomplished without having the right mindset to approach these three topics. This small snapshot represents Katie’s firsthand experience of the blessings and benefits gained from forgiveness, however; there is far more to this story than what meets the eye! For now, let’s remember we are all in this together when it comes to pursuing unity.For questions regarding the material in this podcast, scripture verses or additional insight, please email me at katie@katiehamilton.com.Follow me on social media:FB: https://www.facebook.com/whenlifethrowsyouacurve32IG: @whenlifethrowsyouacurve32 or @katiehamilton32

By now it should come as no surprise that Katie has seen her fair share of curveballs, changeups, and making the adjustment is part of the territory she has been called to occupy in this season of life. As she continues her series on pursuing unity, she decided to share some personal challenges she's encountered this week while visiting her East Coast family. From her rental car "podcast studio", she shares how changes in our environment (and we aren't talking about the car!) often have a way of taking us deeper into expanding our bandwidth. She also did a mini Q&A and will announce the GIVEAWAY winners tomorrow and hopes to answer a few more questions this weekend! Next week she'll wrap up the rest of the "P" in the P.U.R.S.U.E Unity series!

This week on When Life Throws You A Curve And How To Make The Adjustment, Katie officially begins a six week series on pursuing unity. The first episode in the series begins with approaching unity from the perspective of purity. This practical, yet insightful series will challenge you to step out of your comfort zone, have the courage to search your own heart, and to discover where any adjustments need to be made in your life. This necessary first step is a critical part if we hope to truly solve the problem of division currently plaguing our country. We must become ONE nation, after all we are the UNITED States. Let’s show the world what unity looks like and how it begins with each one of us.***PLEASE READ*** I want to clarify some things regarding court that I don't feel I made clear enough while recording this podcast. In this episode, I was referring to trivial matters with regard to civil court, not serious matters of any kind or anything related to criminal court matters. In any circumstance, it is never OK to allow yourself, your children, or family to be in a situation that is not safe. As always, I love hearing from you! Send me any questions or thoughts!! Much Love!! xx Katie Follow me on social media:FB: https://www.facebook.com/whenlifethrowsyouacurve32IG: @whenlifethrowsyouacurve32 or @katiehamilton32
