229 | Awed by God’s Beauty in All Things, With Thomaida Hudanish

from Thriving in Christ | Professional Women, High Level Habits, Resilience, Burnout, Stress, Grief · host Dr. Ioana Popa | Psychiatrist Educator, Executive Coach, Speaker & Spiritual Care Formation

What does it take to move past doubt - doubt in ourselves, in others, or situations we are in? Is there a different mindset that can help us overcome this doubt? And what does it mean to see beauty as a characteristic and a resourceful state of being, as a way to get to know God? These are thoughts and questions that Thomaida Hudanish and I talk about in this week's Renewal Conversation. Thomaida is the co-founder of Beauty First Films, which recently released the film - St. Amphilochios of Patmos. She is an avid traveler, writer, and passionate about her Orthodox faith. After eight years of working as a parish administrator, she volunteered at orphanage schools in India and Israel-Palestine, engaging a community of armchair travelers via a regular newsletter. She was also blessed to work for the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco, supporting clergy and parishes in evangelism ministry. In this episode, you will hear Thomaida and I talk about: 🔅 The beauty of seeking God in all things, with patience, and also the beauty of what comes after. 🔅 A unique way to deal with the doubting parts (you don't want to miss this one!)🔅 Her perspective on one's relationship with God.🔅 How saying short prayers throughout her day keeps her grounded and other nuggets of wisdom. The Bible Verse that guides her is this: "The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him.
