Hope Smiling Brightly with Amber Dawn Pearce

Amber Dawn Pearce

I had a wonderful and unique upbringing raised off grid by addict hippies who converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We ending up becoming a family of 15 including 8 adopted siblings. Yep, I know what it’s like to live in a home with dirt floors, and no plumbing or electricity. Oh I’ve got stories. You’ll hear a lot of them here. But the most important thing I share is what my life has taught me about the power of Jesus Christ.

That answer you've been seeking. That change you've hoped for. That struggle you want to overcome. The goal you want to reach. It is all in Jesus Christ. Christ can be your coach, your mentor, your motivational speaker, your healer.  After living a life seeking hope and help from every solution out there I finally learned how to access the power of change through Christ.

Unshaken Faith: Embracing God's Power and Promises
In the inaugural episode of 'Hope Smiling Brightly,' Amber Dawn Pearce shares her journey from a unique upbringing to developing an unshaken faith in Christ. Raised off-grid by converted hippies in a large, blended family, Amber's life was far from ordinary, involving significant challenges and moments of introspection often mistaken for sadness. She discusses overcoming the 'happy when syndrome,' where joy is deferred to future circumstances, and recounts how striving for perfection led to exhaustion and a realization that her understanding of God was fundamentally flawed. Through years of refinement, Amber learned to focus solely on looking to God daily, allowing His truth to replace incorrect beliefs and bring about transformative change. She emphasizes that Christ's healing power, patience, and gifts of the Holy Spirit are essential in personal growth and overcoming the adversary's influence. Amber vows to use her gift of testimony to encourage others, urging them to believe in God's promises, cultivate their spiritual gifts, and recognize the abundant resources available through faith in Christ, especially in these latter days.You can  join Amber on all social media platforms @amberdawnpearce00:00 Unlocking Unshaken Faith in Christ00:29 Introducing Hope Smiling Brightly: Amber's Journey01:44 The Power of a Smile: Overcoming Life's Challenges03:11 Embracing the Gospel's Joy: A Personal Transformation05:55 Foundational Principles for a Fulfilling Life12:08 Harnessing the Power of God in Our Lives17:19 The Ultimate Gift: Believing in God's Promises22:08 Christ: The Source of Our Hope and Healing23:49 A Call to Action: Cultivating Faith, Hope, and Charity
