Faith In The Journey with Troy Barnes

Troy Barnes

Faith in the Journey with Troy Barnes is a podcast for people who know there's more to life with God than rules, rituals, and church on Sunday. Troy opens up about his own testimony—how faith in Jesus pulled him into the exact purpose God designed for him—and shows you how God can do the same in your story. Each episode unpacks a key truth: faith works by love, not fear; the "work of God" is to believe, not perform; and your value is rooted in Christ, not in how well you check religious boxes. Listen in if you want to be freed from performance, grounded in God's love, and encouraged to trust Him through every twist and turn of the journey.

    The Power Of Gratitude I Faith In The Journey

    Gratitude isn't just a feeling — it's a command from God with the power to change your life, and in this episode, Troy Barnes makes the case for why. Wrapping up Season 1 of Faith and The Journey, Troy walks through key scriptures — 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Hebrews 11:6, Philippians 4:6-7, Psalms 100:4, and more — to show that being thankful "in all circumstances" isn't optional, it's God's will for believers.  He grounds this teaching in his own life: a season of joblessness where gratitude preceded the breakthrough, and a difficult stretch at a homeless shelter that taught him gratitude changes you from the inside out, regardless of what's happening around you. Troy also opens up about the doubts and hesitation he faced before starting this podcast, and how obedience — even reluctant obedience — led to blessing beyond what he expected.  This finale closes out Season 1 with a call to action: stop taking God's goodness for granted, and start living with a daily attitude of gratitude. Plus, don't miss the closing invitation if you've never given your life to Christ. Season 2 is on the way.  Troy's books now available on Amazon and Kindle: The Blessing - https://a.co/d/0gIEpmv7 Just Believe, Don't Perform - https://a.co/d/02JfSRnf Amazing Grace (My Journey into God's unmerited Favor) - https://a.co/d/0gIEpmv7 Faith In The Journey is also available on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcast - https://linktr.ee/faithinthejourneypodcast

    The Power Of Your Words I Faith In The Journey

    Episode 11 of Faith in the Journey explores a topic we often take for granted — the power of the words we speak. Troy Barnes unpacks scripture on how words carry the power to bring life or death, referencing Proverbs, Genesis, and stories like the Roman centurion's faith and the woman healed by touching Jesus' garment. He shares how negative self-talk can quietly shape our lives, and how simply speaking positively — even in hard seasons — can shift our entire trajectory. Troy also shares his personal testimony of homelessness and how leaning on God's word carried him through, along with a heartfelt invitation for anyone ready to start a relationship with Jesus.
