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?

Swimming in the Deep (What Faith Feels Like)
Have you ever wondered why God is so mysterious? Has the mystery of God ever stopped you from believing in Him? Has the lack of answers to your burning questions ever stopped you from trusting Him?
Do you realise that God exists outside of our limited human understanding? Picture yourself standing inside a square frame; that's your frame of reference. If God perfectly fit inside your frame of reference, then He wouldn't actually be so wonderful and powerful. But because He exists outside of that frame of reference (outside of time and space), He will always hold a sense of wonder in our hearts.
His power is far bigger than we could ever imagine.
His plans are far greater than we could ever dream.
His love is far more expansive than you could ever put words to.
The wonder and mystery of God magnifies His greatness. Our challenge then is to learn how to trust Him when it feels like we're swimming in the deep -- swimming in waters so expansive and mysterious that we could never even fathom what those waters hold, the depths those waters go, or the breadth those waters reach.
Faith feels like swimming in the deep.
So, would you dive in with me, as I take us to the Book of Ezekiel? There's a beautiful vision I want to show you.
