Hello Friends!




Today’s episode is very special because this is our 100th Episode of Thrive! Can you believe that?!  First, thank you so much – I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for your emails, messages, and of course, your reviews!




My main goal is to help you thrive in your life. My passion has always been to help others realize that they are God’s masterpiece. That’s what the podcast is all about. When creating this podcast in 2020, it was important to me that we talk about the physical, the spiritual, and the mental – the whole person.




I’m also excited about this episode because of who is on the show today.  My actual real-life friends Denise Pass and Michelle Nietert are my guests today. We discuss their new book, Makeup Your Mind, and how we can lean on God for our mental health.




Denise Pass holds an MA in Biblical Exposition and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Biblical Exposition at Liberty University. The author of Make Up Your Mind, Shame Off You, and 31 Days to Hope Reinvented, Denise has also written songs that received radio play, including You Are Worthy, Seeing Deep EP, and songs from her album Praying For You. She has appeared in Focus on the Family, Charisma, Belief.net, ibelieve.com, The Upper Room, and other publications. Denise currently serves on the writing team for Proverbs 31 Ministries’ First 5 app and the writing team for the COMPEL blog.




Michelle Nietert, M.A., as a previous minister to women, licensed professional counselor, and Christian Life Coach of over two decades, Michelle has been passionately inspiring women for over 25 years. She relates well to audiences of various ages as she juggles running a large counseling center in the DFW area, writing, hosting the Raising Mentally Healthy Kids podcast, and speaking. She is passionate about empowering women to overcome the negative mindsets holding them back from living the abundant lives God has promised them. Her energetic presentations are interactive, biblical, and relevant to everyday life.
