Finding Joy is a podcast dedicated to bringing you encouragement and inspiration in all of life’s moments — the good, bad and everything in-between.
Lori Schumaker is our guest for the 22nd episode of the Finding Joy podcast. Grab your favorite holiday drink (I’m going with Starbuck’s Toffee Nut Latte this year) and get ready for an incredible conversation that will uplift you in this season of Advent.
I may be a little biased because she is a good friend of mine, but seriously, Lori is one-of-a-kind. She’s genuine. She’s compassionate. She’s generous. And she radiates Christ. As a mom, wife and writer, Lori’s passion is helping others find hope in brokenness. She longs to see people walk in freedom, and discover the joy that comes along with following Jesus.
In this episode, Lori and I talk about:
- The dangers of people pleasing and looking to others for worth and approval.
- Learning to substitute the labels others give us for the labels Christ gives us.
- The difference between knowing and believing God.
- How God heals us by peeling back layers of our “onion” to help us get to the core of who we are in Him.
- The joy that is found when we say, “Lord, Thy Will be Done.”
- How to fight the enemy and keep Him from stealing your joy.
Lori encourages us to find hope in Jesus and surrender our hearts to His healing process. He wants to heal us — but we have to be willing to let Him do a work in us.

Hi Lauren–I’m not new to Suzie’s group, but I AM new to checking out blogs (and podcasts) and commenting on them. Your topic–the people pleasing and looking towards others for approval was spot on for me today. God knows just what I need to hear and places it in my path. Thank you for being His vessel!
Hi Rochelle,

Blessings and smiles,
Lori
