Joyful Journey – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Last episode, we explored the hesed love of God - a sacrificial love that faithfully pursues even to its own hurt. Today, Janet and Jocelyn will take a look at what hesed love can look like, as we as Christ's followers attempt to live it out in everyday life.

Joyful Journey is taking a hiatus on recording new episodes for the next several months. This is a season of regrouping and refocusing for us and we appreciate your patience as we do this. That means we will not be airing our quarterly recaps on each of the gospels as we anticipated, but don’t let that stop you from digging into the gospels! We’re taking this opportunity to share some previously released episodes with you. If you are a newer listener, we’re excited for you to hear some of these earlier episodes and for our long-term listeners, we are hoping that these episodes will be an encouragement to you once again! We look forward to returning in the future so stay tuned!

Our re-aired episode for this week is entitled, “Hesed.”

When you picture the love of God, what comes to mind? In this episode, Janet and Jocelyn invite you to discover the depths of God’s faithful Hesed love—a love that is unwavering, sacrificial, and relentless in its pursuit, even to those who turn away. This is a love that gives first, gives most, and gives even when it costs everything. Join us as we explore how understanding the steadfast love of God transforms our worship and draws us into a richer, more authentic relationship with Him.

The topic of conceiving and bearing children can often feel difficult to discuss - but it doesn't have to be. What does scripture say about our desire to build families?

This week Janet and Jocelyn welcome Dr. Dan Wickert, an OB-GYN and chairman of the hospital board for the Western region of the Sisters of St. Francis. He shares insights on our desire to have children, and how to approach medical challenges to conception through the lens of God's word.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Today on the podcast, hosts Janet and Alexandra discuss principles and methods.

Understanding the difference between principles and methods is crucial to experiencing the unity of Christ.

Modern sensibilities resist the idea of meekness. And yet, it is one of the words that Jesus uses to describe Himself! A biblical understanding of the power and strength in true meekness gives us much hope! In this episode, Janet and Alexandra focus on a Christ-like quiet spirit, and the beauty of freedom of not resisting what God allows into our lives.
