Spiritual Affirmation
Often in the Christian life, we are called to encourage others spiritually by affirming their right choices. However, it can be challenging to avoid the pitfalls of flattery. What does Scripture say about affirming others in spiritual matters?
This week, Janet and Jocelyn discuss how to genuinely affirm others on their spiritual walk. They explore the importance of motivation, emphasizing that affirmation should aim to glorify God and build others up, not seek personal gain. By grounding our affirmations in Scripture, we can encourage other believers in a way that honors God and promotes spiritual growth.

Meditation and Contemplation
Meditation is frequently recommended in popular culture as a way to alleviate stress and anxiety while fostering a sense of calm. The Bible, however, provides specific guidance on what authentic, biblical meditation and contemplation should entail.
This week, Janet and Jocelyn explore the tenets of biblical meditation and contemplation, highlighting how they differ from worldly perspectives. They delve into the key aspects we should focus on when meditating on scripture and discuss how contemplation of God should inspire us to love and honor Him more deeply

Teaching Children a Biblical View of Sex
Parents often feel overwhelmed, unsure, and nervous about speaking with their kids about sex, but what principles about “the talk” can we find in scripture?
This week, Janet and Jocelyn explore how Christians can approach conversations about sex with their children. They share personal examples of discussing the beauty of biblical sex, highlighting how their approaches varied based on each child's unique needs. Additionally, they address common obstacles to having these important conversations and offer strategies for overcoming them by emphasizing a biblical perspective of sex within marriage.

Customer Reviews
I don’t listen to podcasts, but I LOVE this one!
Podcasts don’t normally hold my interest very well, but this one is sooooooo good. When I listen I can’t help but say “ooo yes!”, “amen!”, and “so true” out loud! They speak God’s work insightfully into the common struggles of women (and humans in general). This has helped my personal discipleship and then pass it along to those I am ministering to. Thank you for faithfully teaching the Word of God!
Favorite podcast!
Joyful Journey is definitely my favorite podcast out there! It’s a theology podcast that deeply relates to practical real life issues. I love the Biblical truth that is taught. They aren’t afraid to step on your toes a little bit so it in a gracious way that leads you to love Jesus and others more. So good!
The Best Podcast
I hereby award Joyful Journey the title of “The BEST Podcast”! ☺️ Every episode points right to Scripture and these two dear ladies unpack it and show how it practically applies to our lives no matter what stage of life we are in. I learn so much from this and have listened to many episodes over again not just one or two times, but MANY times. I’m so grateful for how they share Truth in a joyful and encouraging way without being fearful. Each episode is a spiritual vitamin B shot. 💛
