Amy Lynn explores the panic of losing your phone and the deeper journey of feeling lost in life. Misplaced your phone? Use Find My Phone or call it with a smart speaker to track it down. That relief mirrors God’s pursuit when we’re adrift. Luke 19:10 says, “The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.” Like the shepherd in Luke 15:4, God seeks us through doubt or stress.

Next time you ping your phone, remember: God’s love finds you. #FaithTech #LostAndFound #ChristianPodcast Be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Follow to our social media channels: https://www.facebook.com/AmyLynnsVoiceOvers https://twitter.com/amylynnorg https://thevoiceofamylynn.wordpress.com https://www.youtube.com/AmyLynnOrg Visit our website at: http://www.amylynn.org

Using outdated technology can negatively affect mental well-being, causing frustration and stress when performing tasks or enjoying leisure activities. Although upgrading can be costly, it may be a worthwhile investment if technology is essential to daily life. I try to prioritizes mental and physical health when making purchases, believing that strategic investments can improve overall well-being. Upgrading technology could reduce stress and boost productivity, positively impacting health. Also referencing biblical teachings that promote a holistic approach to well-being, including healthy habits, exercise, stress management, and joy. Scripture encourages seeking medical help and prayer when needed, showing God's desire for His people's well-being, a topic the I already previously explored in an episode called "Life Inside the Holy Ghost." Proverbs 17:22 - "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."

Firewalls protect computers by blocking unauthorized access while allowing safe traffic, but poor configuration can slow performance or leave vulnerabilities. Default settings may not suit unique needs (e.g., gamers, remote workers), requiring tweaks for balance. Firewalls are like the "Armor of God" (Ephesians 6:10-17), where six spiritual elements work together, like a firewall, to shield believers from threats if actively used daily. Ephesians 6:18 - "Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere."

I hold a deep appreciation for mentors, and you may be immediately wondering how this topic relates with technology. Reflect for a moment: if you have a mentor, are they aware of the profound impact they’ve had on you? What might be holding you back from expressing this gratitude while they are still with us? Mentors play an indispensable role in shaping our lives, yet it is disheartening to observe a common tendency: many only acknowledge someone as a mentor after their passing. I’ve often found this perplexing. It’s all too easy to hear claims of “they were my mentor” once someone is gone, yet there was little evidence of that appreciation during their lifetime. I'd like to explore the vital roles mentors play in our lives and why we should express gratitude to them while they’re still with us. Blending personal reflections with a faith-based perspective, this discussion highlights Jesus as an exemplary mentor and encourages listeners to use technology to connect with their mentors today. Tune in for an inspiring call to honor those who guide us—before it’s too late. Job 12:12 - "Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?"

I shared the importance of exercising caution with emails that appear to come from legitimate sources like PayPal, Facebook, or Microsoft, as scammers are becoming increasingly skilled at creating fraudulent messages. I share steps to confirm the authenticity of such emails, including checking if you recently initiated the action mentioned (e.g., a password reset or transaction) and examining the email for personalization and a matching recipient address. If these indicators suggest a scam, I recommend deleting or reporting the email. I then share the parallels between scam emails and matters of faith, sharing a personal story about a toxic relationship. After the relationship ended, my ex-partner attacked my character and faith, which I hold as a core principle in my life and businesses (e.g., featuring my testimony on my voice-over website). I note that such behavior is common among those who are hurting and that some individuals or groups exploit faith for personal gain. However, I believe that deception is unsustainable, and authenticity endures over time—supported by the fact that you continue to listen. I conclude by encouraging vigilance in both digital interactions and personal trust, emphasizing the reliability of gut instincts. Psalm 145:18 "The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth."

I'm honored to participate in the third edition of Podcasthon! For one week, more than a thousand podcasts will highlight a charity of their choice. And today, I'm sharing STARNetwork. I selected STARNetwortk charity because I believe in what they do. Their saying "you are not a victim! you're a star" really hit home with me. Star stands for Survivor of Toxic Abuse Relationships. Their videos, images, and social media content is exactly what is needed. Simple, point blank answers to things you may be wondering. Originally they were TAR NETWORK. As you know, TAR stands for toxic abuse relationships. Which they illustrate as being “stuck” in TAR (since it’s very similar to being stuck in a toxic relationship) But moving forward, they felt that STAR was more appropriate, as it stands for SURVIVORS of TOXIC ABUSE RELATIONSHIPS, and they want this to empower all to become survivors of TAR. The years of 2020 through 2023 I was involved in a toxic, abusive relationship with a narcissist. I was both working for and dating the guy. When I broke up with him, his mask came off for everyone to see, causing me PTSD and nightmares. In his attempt to control me - everything I posted, he would twist and react to. Even my work related content such as this very podcast. But the content shared by STARNetwork made me realize exactly what was going on and how do deal with it. I am not alone, and I will be okay. There is help and support for others in abusive relationships. I hope you enjoyed this change of pace with this special episode, as part of Podcasthon.
