Joyful Journey

As we start the new year, many people focus on developing new healthy habits or ditching bad ones. But can a person REALLY change their habits? Does the Bible offer guidance in how to break away from the bad or sinful patterns that seem so enslaving in our lives? Listen in to hear Janet and Jocelyn discuss how God’s Word can help us in our everyday struggles with bad habits.

As human beings made by God, we all have a purpose on earth. How do we know our purpose and learn how to live according to that purpose as a believer? And how does God’s sovereignty play into all of this? Listen in this week as Janet and Jocelyn teach through the story of Samson in Judges 13-14 and discuss the dangers of living without a purpose.

Our thought life matters to God! Our theology should impact the way we think. The Bible teaches us how to take our thoughts captive in submission to Christ. In this week’s episode, we are thrilled to welcome back our co-host, Jocelyn, as she and Janet take a look at Psalm 1 and 2, which instruct us to meditate on truth and show us how to conform our thinking to Christ Main passage: Psalm 1 and 2 Episode Transcript Resources: Resources: Books The Ology - Marty Machowski Biblical Doctrine - John MacArthur and Richard Mayhue In the Arena of the Mind - John Vandegriff Music Joyful Journey Spotify playlist Visit the Joyful Journey website to sign up for our newsletter, view transcripts, and search previous episodes.

Janet's husband, Pastor Brent, interviews Dane Ortlund, author of Gentle & Lowly. They discuss the importance of a gentle and lowly heart, the welcoming and accepting nature of Jesus, and the significance of humility. They reflect on personal experiences and highlight Christ's unfailing love and invitation.

Sometimes it feels like criticism comes from all around us. How can we humbly process and respond to the criticism leveled at us? Alexandra and Janet discuss how God’s view of us in Christ can help us to consider and respond to the critics in our lives from a biblical perspective.

Submission. Why do we shudder when we hear that word? Perhaps we equate it with being a doormat, being taken advantage of, or told we have no voice or value. But true biblical submission is not about value: It's about order. In this episode, Janet and Alexandra will discuss some common misunderstandings of submission and look to Jesus's example to reshape our understanding, as we seek to let Scripture, not culture, dictate how we act and think about submission.

Imagine someone knowing everything about you. Even the deepest, darkest parts of who you are and how you think that you don't want to acknowledge, even to yourself... Imagine Someone does know and does see - and loves you dearly anyway. This is the kind of love we find in our Creator. Janet and Alexandra take a long look at Psalm 139 to see how we are both fully known and fully loved.

Gender. Womanhood. Beauty. Value. Equality. All of these terms swirl in our heads when we think about the messages the world shouts at us as women and our role in society today. Janet and Alexandra examine Genesis 1-2 to answer the most important question when it comes to a right view of womanhood: What does GOD think of women? Part of pursuing truth in our journeys of women of God includes answering this question rightly, as we think through how to live as a light for truth in an increasingly dark and confusing world.
