    We've Made Jireh Too Small!

    When you hear “Jehovah Jireh,” you probably think… God will provide. But what if we’ve made Jireh too small? In this episode, we’re shifting how we see God as our provider. Not just the One who gives, but the One who prepares, sustains, and becomes exactly what we need. From Abraham on the mountain to Israel in the wilderness, this is a reminder that God isn’t trying to catch up to your life… He’s already ahead of you. Maybe it’s time to look again.

    Hope Anyway: Strength in the Middle

    The middle is a hard place to be. It’s the space where you’re no longer where you used to be, but you’re not yet where God promised you would be. It’s where the waiting feels long, the silence feels loud, and your faith is stretched. In this episode of The Joy for the Journey Podcast, Joye continues the Hope Anyway series by speaking to the reality of being in the middle. Through the story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, she shares what it looks like to trust God when He doesn’t move the way you expected, and how the middle is often where God is doing His deepest work. Because your story isn’t over just because you’re in the middle. God is still working. God is still moving. And even now… He’s strengthening you. So even here… Hope anyway.

    Hope Anyway: Refined by the Fire

    What if the hard seasons in your life are not meant to break you… but to refine you? In this episode of The Joy for the Journey Podcast, Joye walks through what it truly means to choose faith when it gets hard. Using the powerful process of gold being refined, she unpacks how God uses pressure, discomfort, and even unexpected challenges to remove what no longer belongs and reveal who you are becoming. Because the truth is, none of us start out pure. But through the process of refining, God is shaping us, strengthening us, and preparing us to reflect Him more clearly. If you’ve been feeling stretched, tested, or overwhelmed by what you’re going through, this episode will remind you that the fire is not there to destroy you. It’s there to make you better. Your faith is being proven. Your life is being purified. And on the other side of this process… you will come out stronger, clearer, and more aligned with who God created you to be. So even when it’s hard… choose faith anyway. Send us Fan Mail Our prayer is that you enjoy this episode! Be sure to join the Speaking of Joye Community, where we passionately pursue purpose together!

    Hope Anyway: Choosing Faith When It’s Hard

    Sometimes hope feels easy. Other times it feels like work. In this episode of The Joy for the Journey Podcast, Joye talks about what it means to hope anyway, even when life doesn’t look the way you expected, prayers seem unanswered, or the journey feels longer than you imagined. Hope is not pretending everything is perfect. It’s the decision to trust that God is still working, even when you can’t see it yet. If you’ve ever felt tired, uncertain, or stretched in your faith, this conversation will remind you that hope is still possible and that God is still faithful. Because sometimes the most powerful act of faith is choosing to hope anyway. Send us Fan Mail Our prayer is that you enjoy this episode!

    Not Going Back: Why Obedience is My Only Option

    This episode is raw. It's personal. And honestly, it's one of the hardest I've ever recorded. After 30 days of pouring out my heart through the Made 4 More series, God wrecked me - in the best way possible. In this final episode, I’m sharing what He revealed to me about obedience, about surrender, and about why I can’t afford to go back. It’s framed around Philippians 3:13–14, where Paul reminds us to forget what’s behind and press forward. That’s exactly what I’m doing...pressing forward. Because when you’ve seen too much, when you’ve grown too much, and when God has called you to more, retreat is no longer an option. If you’ve ever wrestled with obedience, if you’ve ever questioned your calling, or if you're standing at the edge of “Do I keep going?” this episode is for you. Highlights: What God revealed to me through this 30-day journeyWhy I almost didn’t release this episodeHow obedience is stretching me in new, uncomfortable waysThe reminder that calling requires commitment—even when it's hardA heartfelt invitation to keep pressing forward with meListen now, share with a friend who needs encouragement, and remind yourself: you were made for more...there’s no turning back now.

    Anchored: What's Really Holding You?

    In this week’s episode of The Joy for the Journey Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really means to be anchored. Not just still. Not just safe. But steady...even in seasons of uncertainty. I’ll share a personal story about how my old website crashing became a divine reset and how it revealed just how tightly I was holding onto a version of Speaking of Joye that God had outgrown. We'll unpack what it looks like to release anchors that no longer serve us — fear, control, comfort — and instead cling to the only foundation that never shifts. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure if it's God or just you avoiding the next step, this one's for you. In this episode, we cover: The true purpose of an anchorWhen God removes what you won’t let goThe difference between being paused and being protectedHow to know if what’s holding you is helping youAn honest invitation to build on the Solid RockListen in and let’s check what we’re really tied to.

    Trusting the Process: When Letting Go Feels Risky

    What if the thing holding you back isn’t a lack of faith—but the fear of what trusting God might cost you? In this episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal: how hard it’s been to let go of control and truly trust God with what I can't see. I talk about: The fear of surrender when God’s path feels riskyMy personal struggle with letting others lead — and how that shows up in my relationship with GodThe first time I publicly said Speaking of Joye is a global ministry (and why that felt scary)Why trusting God doesn’t mean having it all figured outHow I’m choosing to buckle up, take my hands off the wheel, and be the passengerIf you’ve been tip-toeing your way through purpose, this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to control the ride to trust the destination.

    Living Lighter: Choosing Less So God Can Do More

    This week on Joy for the Journey, I’m sharing what it really looks like to live lighter, to choose less so God can do more. After weeks of exploring the noise, the yeses that cost too much, and all the ways we try to hold it all together, I’m opening up about why I took a break from this very podcast… and what God’s been teaching me in the quiet. We’ll talk about trusting Him with outcomes we can’t control, saying no so we can honor what He’s actually asked of us, and how fewer automatic yeses can open the door to deeper faith. If you’ve been feeling stretched, tired, or afraid to let go, I pray this episode reminds you that God never needed you to carry it all . He just wants your trust.
