    How to Experience God More Deeply This Summer | Joi Bowling

    Today on The Women of Joy Show, I sat down with my friend Joi Bowling for a conversation about something every believer longs for: experiencing the presence of God and finding lasting joy in Him. Joi is a familiar face to our Women of Joy Family. If she is new to you, I promise you’ll love her as much as we do! As we kick off our Summer of Joy series, Joi and I talk about what it means to worship God in every season—not just when life feels easy, but when we're tired, distracted, discouraged, or simply going through the motions. We discuss how worship is so much more than music. It's about ascribing worth to God, remembering who He is, and allowing His truth to shape our hearts. Whether you're leading worship from a stage, serving your family, teaching a Bible study, or simply trying to walk faithfully with Jesus, this conversation will encourage you to pursue Him with openness and expectancy. We also talk about the importance of community, the gift of confession, and why God never intended for us to carry life's burdens alone. Joi shares practical wisdom for preparing our hearts to meet with God and how to continue worshiping even when we don't necessarily feel like it. If you're longing for a deeper relationship with God, a renewed sense of joy, or simply a fresh perspective on worship, I think you'll be encouraged by this conversation. Let's Be Friends!

    What Happens When You Get Out of the Holy Spirit's Way | Charles Billingsley

    Today on the show, I sat down with Charles Billingsley for one of the most honest and refreshing conversations we’ve had in a long time. You will know Charles from being with his band leading worship at our events. Charles has spent decades in ministry and music, but this conversation goes far beyond the stage. We talk about the tension so many people feel between calling, family, ambition, and faithfulness — and what it looks like to keep your priorities in the right order in a world constantly pushing us toward performance. We dive into the danger of saying yes to every “good” opportunity, how ego can quietly shape our decisions, and why success in God’s kingdom often looks very different than success in the world. Charles shares wisdom from years in ministry, including lessons learned about marriage, parenting, leadership, vulnerability, and creating space for the Holy Spirit to move. We also talk about the pressure social media places on leaders and believers alike, the celebrity culture that can creep into ministry, and why authenticity matters now more than ever. One of my favorite parts of the conversation is when we discuss how God often does His deepest work through brokenness, not perfection. This episode is deeply practical, encouraging, convicting, and full of grace. Whether you’re in full-time ministry, balancing work and family, or simply trying to faithfully follow Jesus in your everyday life, I think this conversation will meet you right where you are.

    How to Love Radiantly in a Dark World | Angela Thomas Pharr

    Today on the show, I sat down with my dear friend Angela Thomas Pharr for a conversation that felt like a deep breath for the soul. We talked about what it truly means to live radiantly in a world that often leaves us exhausted, discouraged, and distracted from the life God has called us to live. Angela shares wisdom from years of walking with Jesus and reminds us that radiant living is not about perfection, performance, or pretending everything is fine. It’s about surrender. It’s about learning to trust God enough to step into all He has for us — even when it feels uncomfortable, uncertain, or costly. We also talk honestly about fear, comparison, obedience, and the ways we sometimes shrink back from the fullness of God’s calling on our lives. This episode will encourage you to stop settling for survival mode and start embracing the abundant life Jesus offers. If you’ve been feeling spiritually stuck, weary, or unsure of your next step, I think this conversation will deeply encourage you. Angela’s words are full of both truth and grace, and I believe this episode will remind you that God is not finished with your story. You’ll walk away challenged to pursue Jesus more fully, live with intentionality, and trust that the God who called you is faithful to complete the work He began in you. This episode is honest, practical, hope-filled, and full of reminders that you were made to shine His light right where you are. Let's Be Friends!

    Faith When Healing Doesn’t Come: Living with Chronic Illness | Susie Larson

    Today on the show, I sat down with Susie Larson to have an honest and hope-filled conversation about chronic illness, faith, and trusting God when healing doesn’t come. If you or someone you love is walking through chronic health issues, autoimmune disease, long-term sickness, or unexplained pain, this episode is for you. Susie shares from her own personal journey of battling chronic illness and how it has shaped her faith in ways she never expected. We talk about the emotional, spiritual, and mental toll that chronic illness brings and why so many women carry shame, isolation, and silent suffering in these seasons. We also address the tension many believers feel between faith and healing, including: What to do when you’re praying but not getting betterHow to trust God when your body feels like it’s failing youThe dangers of “formula faith” and harmful theology around healingHow to hold onto hope in the middle of ongoing pain This conversation is both deeply personal and incredibly practical. If you’ve ever wondered, “Where is God in my suffering?” or “Why hasn’t He healed me?”—you are not alone. There is space for your questions. There is grace for your struggle. And there is still hope. If Susie is new to you, she is a bestselling author, national speaker, and host of the popular radio show Susie Larson Live. She is passionate about helping people experience the presence of God in the middle of real-life challenges. Listen in and be encouraged…you can have strong faith even in chronic illness. . . . .
