Carry Confetti
A podcast to help you discover how to cultivate a life of hopeful expectation and daily celebration.
I’m Darcie Frost, an Oklahoma girl now living in New Zealand and leading a church with my husband (and our two toddlers in tow). Through weekly episodes released every Monday, I’ll be exploring Christian theology and studies in psychology to better understand the powerful effects of gratitude and hope. No matter what season of life you are in, we could all benefit from a bit more joy infused into those ordinary, everyday moments.
I’ll be tackling questions like: How do I keep believing after so many setbacks? Why hasn’t God answered my prayer yet? How do you know God is good and on your side? How do I find the strength to celebrate others, while walking through grief, disappointment, and pain? What’s the difference between happiness and joy?

Clay Jars & Golden Scars: A Story of Suffering and Restoration
Sometimes, life can shatter us... into a million pieces. And sometimes, we don't know how to rebuild our hearts, our minds, and our lives after certain events.
But I know a God who is our great physician and our healer. He looks at our brokenness and is able to form something so beautiful.
Today, let me tell you my story about an early miscarriage that took place after we had been told we had unexplained infertility. I'm going to tell you this story through the lens of Joel (a prophet in the Old Testament) to show you that God doesn't ignore our suffering. In fact, he has future blessing and restoration for us if only we would trust him.
Maybe get the tissues for this episode, but I promise you that there is hope and celebration that followed the suffering. And I believe that blessing and restoration is in your future too.
