One of the most far-reaching projects is the Dignity Project. One day, a lady approached me in Bumala B. ‘Sister Becky, please will you pray for my daughter? She’s been missing for three months.’ Within days, another lady approached me: ‘Please pray for my missing child. My daughter has been gone for five months now.’ As I asked more questions, it became clear what had happened. Here, right on the doorstep of King’s School, right in the village of Bumala B and the surrounding villages, sex traffickers were at work. What could we do? The Dignity Project was born.”
Becky Murray, Embrace the Journey
Saying Yes to God
One of the primary benefits of Today’s Heartlift with Janell, the podcast, is meeting truly remarkable people.
Today, in this episode, you are meeting a young woman whose bravery and courage inspire me and I know it will inspire you.
She’s humble and fierce.
As you will hear, a simple, yet profound providential encounter with a little girl named Felicity, became Becky Murray’s non-negotiable invitation to follow God’s call.
In this episode, you will:
- Be inspired to listen and look for God in unique, special, often surprising ways.
- Be challenged to say YES, even when it scares you beyond all belief.
- Be invited to move outside your comfort zone.
- Be led to give of your resources to help those in need.

Sometimes the story we tell ourselves is not really true. Sometimes the story others tell about us is not really true. On “Today’s Heartlift with Janell,” Author, Trauma-informed, board-certified marriage and family specialist, and Professional Heartlifter, Janell Rardon, opens conversations about how emotional health and mental fitness effects absolutely every area of our lives. When we possess and practice healthy, strong, resilient emotional health practices, life is so much better. Read Janell’s newest book, “Stronger Every Day: 9 Tools for an Emotionally Healthy You.”
Ever wondered how simply walking through a forest can soothe your soul and rejuvenate your body? Our latest episode unwraps the profound connection between well-being and the natural world, as we celebrate Earth Month with a deep dive into the biophilia hypothesis and the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing. E.O. Wilson's insights lay the groundwork for our discussion, while Dr. Qing Li's expertise on forest bathing illuminates a path for not just physical health, but also spiritual growth and emotional resilience. We reminisce about personal nature encounters and reflect on the tranquil power of green spaces that often go unnoticed in our daily grind.
In a heartfelt narrative, I open up about my own health challenges with a rare esophageal disease, Achalasia, and how embracing the rhythms of the natural world has been a cornerstone of my healing journey. We also explore how simple practices like controlled breathing can amplify joy and contribute to a longer, healthier life. Learn about the POMS test and assess your current ”mood status.” Whether you're seeking solace in the serenity of nature or looking for practical advice to boost your well-being, this episode promises to be a breath of fresh air. Join us and reconnect with your true self, one step at a time, on the forest floor.
