We are starting a new series this month- yay! During May, we’ll be doing a series called, Encouragement for Women in Ministry in which we’ll be sharing encouragement from other women in ministry. Our hope is that their words and kindness will be a sort of friendship to all of us.
For this episode, Jen and AJ shared practical ways for when women in ministry feel lonely. You’ll hear tips to implement for getting that peace that comes in knowing that Christ is our friend.
AJ started by sharing that her family has had the privilege of welcoming a Ukrainian refugee family to their community recently. She said it was a really sweet time but also made her realize how much caregivers need to be cared for as well. Jen and AJ reminded us how important it is to have friends who can restore you, who can speak nourishment to your heart, and who can be there for you. They mentioned this need specifically for those in ministry.
And remember: Wherever you are, God sees you. Jesus will be that friend you need. We have to continue making sure our identity is in Christ and not in a relationship regardless of what it is. Christ can be and should be all that we need

16. Everyday benefits of listening to hymns featuring Laura Susan
25 Apr 2022
00:34:43
In today's episode, we have a wonderful guest joining us: Laura Susan Cain! Our special guest is a dear friend of Jen’s and we invited her to the podcast to help us wrap our brains around why hymns should matter to us.
We answered so many good questions about how the hymns are relevant to us… and the benefits of listening, learning, and singing it! But we didn’t stop right there, we also discussed one specific hymn: This is my Father’s World.
"We are sojourners in this world, and we are merely traveling through it. It is God’s World, and for that, we can praise Him and relax into the knowledge that all things work together for the good of those who love Him." (see Romans 8:28)
We encourage you to listen to this new episode, read the hymn “My father's world” and be reminded of the truth of God’s sovereignty and His goodness. Then share it with someone else, whether it's your child, your husband, or a friend. Someone needs this reminder!

15. Awakening your heart to worship (Special Episode)
This episode is a little different. It had the greatest feature of all time: the SOJO MEMBERS! Yes, that’s right. Our wonderful members shared stories and contributed to this very special episode.
So, tune in to this MUST LISTEN episode to dive into the hymn AJ wanted to sing on her wedding 28 years ago - but most importantly: The hymn that makes her want to worship God even in the midst of life’s problems, financial situations, and all of the things that would distract us from the glory of God.
We all need to look at something greater than ourselves, which is basically what worship is. Worship is recognizing the glory of something else and living in awe of that.
So sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy this “full of encouragement and raw vulnerability” episode!
Don't forget to listen with an open heart and put yourself in the situations discussed as well, allowing God to speak to you through our show today.
We hope you enjoy this unusual but vulnerable show. It was so authentic and super encouraging for us from Sojo Academy.

In the second podcast episode from our Hymn Series, we are looking at one of the most powerful and beloved hymns from the 19th century: ‘Jesus paid it all’ written by Elvina Hall in 1865.
This is a beautiful hymn to understand and dive into, especially this Easter season. In this episode, we discuss how it represents Jesus as our propitiation or SPONGE.
This is one of the greatest truths about the Gospel! Jesus Christ absorbed the wrath of God for us. Any wrath or any recompense that is poured out towards us in payment for our sin, Christ comes between us and that judgment from God. He absorbs it.
For this week, so close to Easter, we challenge you to:
Listen to the new episode and dive in with us into this beautiful hymn, and be thankful, grateful, and mindful of sacrifices made, but even more than that remember that:
You have a God who loves you enough to send His son to die for you while you were still a sinner. You can trust God, and you can still rest in Him and in the promises of the cross.
Accept that gift, the gift of propitiation. Amen!

13. When you don't feel worthy
04 Apr 2022
00:27:55
We are starting a new series in April called: The Gospel in Hymns.
You will take a journey through history and learn about the hymn writers and the circumstances surrounding certain songs, and then we’ll dig into the passages in the Word of God that inspired them.
This week we kick off our series by taking a look at a hymn called Rock of Ages written by Augustus M. Toplady in 1776.
“The blood of Christ is stronger than our sin and that's the whole point of the Gospel. So that's just something that we can with full trust, continue to preach to our hearts” - Arabah Joy.
Tune in to find out what instrument Jen played when she was younger in school! We’ve got to say; it took AJ by surprise!
But most importantly, learn and understand how each stanza from this amazing hymn relates to the scripture and how we can take those lessons into our lives.

12. How to know you are truly loved

In this week's episode, the final episode from the “Faith Full: Extraordinary Women of the Bible” series, we talk about Martha.
We recognize Martha as a worrywart, the sister of Mary and Lazarus. But on today’s podcast, we would love for there to be a change in perspective of Martha by the time we wrap up the episode!
In John 11, Jesus specifically goes out of his way to encounter Martha. Chronologically, this encounter is AFTER He finds her stewing about Mary not helping her in the kitchen.
John 11 shows how pursuing Jesus was of Martha, how accepting He was of her, but also how He wasn't going to let her remain in the worrisome state she was in.
And this is the shepherd pursuing His sheep. When you read this chapter with that background and understanding, it changes everything… just as it changes Martha, as we will see.
Jesus loved Martha.
He said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me though, Shall he live? And everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
Jesus is really calling out the faith in Martha.
He goes on to promise her: If you will believe me, if you will put your faith in me, you will see the glory of God. And that it's true for all of us. When we put our faith in God, we get front row seats to His glory.
There was no guarantee as to what the glory was. And yet when we actively put our faith in Christ, we are promised to see His glory in some way.
We also talk about the shortest verse in the Bible: John 11:35, “Jesus wept.” The context of the verse is precious!
Jesus knew His power to overcome, and He knew He was going to raise Lazarus from the dead. So why was He crying? Is He weeping over the loss of Lazarus? When He knows he's about to raise him from death?
He's weeping because of his love for Mary and Martha and all of the people that are gathered crying.
God knows our future. We even know our eventual futures because if we are trusting in Him, we will live forever with Him one day.
Yet there is still weeping in this life. There is still pain. There is still hardship. There is still trouble. We're promised that.
But we have a Christ….we have a father… we have a Jesus who weeps with us and He waits to intervene because He loves us.
Weeping with others can be such a powerful gift to give, as Jesus demonstrated here for his friends. It's great to rejoice and it's great to share promises and truths that are encouraging, but also just sitting there and giving that grief back is a blessing too.

Standing as a son or daughter of God
18 Mar 2024
00:27:25
Today's episode holds special significance as we explore the concept of adoption. AJ shares her journey with adoption, and together with Jen, they discuss adoption as a biblical concept and its relevance to us.
The episode unpacks the rich meaning behind Romans 8:14-16, emphasizing the incredible privilege of being adopted by God.
What truly stands out in these verses is the concept of sonship. Through our trust in Christ, we are not only adopted but also regarded as equals to Jesus Christ in God's eyes.
We invite you to join us as we unpack the rich meaning of adoption and explore how it shapes our identity as believers.

11. Believing God's promises when they feel impossible

In this week's episode, the third from the “Faith Full: Extraordinary Women of the Bible” series, we talk about Sarah!
We discuss how Sarah and Abraham were both imperfect humans and their faith was totally imperfect too. Yet these two imperfect people, with imperfect faith, were still given the gift and the blessing of being called the father/mother of the nations.
Likewise, when we exercise a little bit of trust as Sarah did over and over through her story, God is drawn to it. He can't help but step in and do whatever it takes to keep us standing. We don’t know about you, but that fulfillment of faith incredibly encourages us and makes us want to step up with our faith!
We also share the role of laughter in Sarah’s story. Sarah first laughs with unbelief and cynicism in the Scriptures. Yet when God’s promise is finally fulfilled later in the story and Sarah gives birth to Isaac, she laughs again. And this time her laughter is one of joy. It's almost like she can laugh with joy because she realizes that God's promises are true.
In fact, Isaac means “he who laughs”. The theme of laughter goes throughout Sarah's life and all that she went through, including her disbelief and her belief.
Our question for you this week is: “How do we turn our laughter from skeptical unbelief to a laughter of joy?” Is there a circumstance or situation you are laughing in cynicism over? If so, ask yourself, “How can I turn this unbelief into joy?”
The promises of God are powerful. They're significant. And we need to grip onto them just as much as Abraham and Sarah did.

10. The purpose of your pain
14 Mar 2022
00:27:46
In this week's podcast episode, we talk about a woman from the Bible who demonstrated faithfulness even when it hurt: Hannah.
As we talk through Hannah’s story, you’ll see that Hannah is a good example of purpose in pain. She cried to God and for a time, God was silent.
Yet her story shows us God is not only sovereign over the nations and history, but He's also sovereign over our individual lives and always has a reason for what happens, even the hard things.
“Sometimes it’s just taking a step back and remembering that God allows things for a reason, and there is no wasted pain when we belong to Christ.” Arabah Joy.
If God is silent in your life right now or has given you a “no”, we encourage you to listen to this week’s episode. Let the lessons from Hannah’s story encourage you that God hasn’t forsaken or forgotten.

09. Failure doesn't have to be final
07 Mar 2022
00:28:44
How many times are we faithless in our day-to-day walk with God? And then allow the weight of our faithlessness to bring us down?
Today we are starting a brand new series called Faith Full: Extraordinary Women of the Bible. It’s a biographical* study of four different women.
This week we kick off our series talking about a woman in the Old Testament: Deborah.
Judges preceded the Kings in Israel's history and Deborah was the only female judge mentioned in Scripture.
Our story picks up when Deborah tells Barak what God told her: that Barak needs to take his men out to battle and God will deliver them over to him. Barak’s response? “If you will go with me, then I will go. But if you will not go, I'm not going. “
This answer gives us an idea of Barak’s confidence level..
But hello friends, if you go to Hebrews 11:33, who do you find in that big, long list of people that are considered faithful?
Barak.
Oh my, how this hits home! How many times are we faithless in our day-to-day walk with God? We can drop the ball, we can become timid. We can become afraid of circumstances or the unknown. There are so many things that can shake us in our faith.
Listen to the episode to find out the what is the biggest takeaway from the story of Deborah!

08. Stepping into the unknown with courage
28 Feb 2022
00:24:59
Do you remember a time when you took a tentative step into something a little bit unknown and a lot scary?
In today’s episode, the fourth episode of our confidence series, Cultivating Unshakable Confidence, we talked about someone who took a big, courageous step.: Joshua.
When Moses died, God asked Joshua to be strong and courageous, because he would lead the people of Israel to the promised land.
“Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you..” - Joshua 1:5
And then the famous words:
“Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause these people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.” - Joshua 1:6
Not only did God promise Joshua the promised land, but He promised to be with him in that place. For us too, it isn’t just a matter of going; It's a matter of being in our “there” together with God.
We enjoyed talking about our need to focus our minds on promises. Although God gave Joshua a command (as he does us!), if we feel compelled by commands only, we are going to work ourselves to the bone and will grow exhausted fast. But if we can keep our eyes on the promise and the provisions behind the command, then we are equipped to actually do it.
We also had a good discussion about how we don't have to invent our own righteousness. We don't need to invent our own godly desires. All of those things come from Him, part of our inheritance when we are in Christ.
Finally, we talk about practical things we can do. The biggest practical step Joshua took is that the book of instruction did not depart from his mouth or his mind. Joshua carefully rehearsed God's Word, God's truth. We are not promised an easy life as Christians. Matter of fact, we are promised that in this life we will have trouble. Yet whatever it is we face, God encourages us to be strong and courageous and fix our minds on His truth. And that is to the grace and the mercy and the glory of the One who rescues.

07. Don't chicken out on your calling
21 Feb 2022
00:23:42
In today’s episode, and third of the Confidence series, we talked about Saul and how he hid from the responsibility that God gave him.
We particularly love these examples from scripture of real people, real men, real women who have failed, because they're relatable. We see ourselves in these stories. It also makes us realize that we can’t get ourselves out of the negative parts of the story, the cowardice, the identity issues, all of a sudden or on our own, without Christ who lives in us.
Saul reminds us of Moses’ episode (episode #6), when he was doubting himself and his abilities to do what God wanted him to do. He asked, “Who am I to do this?”.
Saul had the same doubts: “Why me?” He even hid behind luggage to try to escape, but he eventually does accept his call, and he actually does step up and does some good things. At some point along the way, however, we can see Saul becoming a little lazy in his obedience, feeling the pressure of others around him and that’s when he started doing things his way.
He became a people pleaser and used that as an excuse to not obey God. Spoiler alert: God wasn't happy with that. One thing AJ and Jen could see in Saul - and that we really don't see in a lot of other places in scripture - is a level of cowardice. In the end, his disobedience caused him to lose his kingship.
“He's not leading the people in a courageous manner. He's being a coward and time and time again, this becomes the pattern of his life.”
Cowardice led Saul to keep walking on the path of disobedience and there is a lesson for us. We're all going to disobey to some extent, and we're all going to fail and we're all going to hide in the luggage at times. At some point in our lives, we're all going to do those things.
The question is, do we continue to walk in that disobedience? Or do we step up like Moses eventually did as we discussed in the last episode? Moses had a lot of excuses too, but he eventually put his trust in God.
And as we have seen from the life of Moses (episode 6), we saw it in Jeroboam (episode 5) and here we see it with Saul: What is most important is your faith in our God who can do all things through His character, His promises, His abilities, and His sovereignty.

06. Overcoming insecurities to be used by God
14 Feb 2022
00:24:46
A jam-packed episode with hands-on tips for dealing with insecurity in a biblical manner.
Have you ever wondered, “Who am I to do these things?”
God has an answer for all of these questions when He calls you to do something. And friend, your job is to step forward and do what He is asking, trusting that He's got this.
In today’s episode, the second in our Confidence series, we talk about Moses, and how he felt out of place. He did not feel man enough to fulfill what God had given him to do. But in the end, Moses did not let that stop him. Nor should you.
During our discussion today on Moses’s conversation with God, AJ and Jen identified three different insecurities that Moses had: 1) identity insecurity, 2) inability insecurity, 3) credibility insecurity.
When Moses said, “Who am I to do this?” He didn't think he had what it took. We all can relate to that, right? When we stumble over our own shortcomings, weaknesses, inabilities, or unmet expectations of ourselves, we are identifying with this insecurity.
While we may struggle with various insecurities, God's response to Moses is so, so good. He told Moses, “I will certainly be with you,” effectively silencing Moses’s voices of doubt and fear. By the end of this discussion, both Jen and AJ had a takeaway phrase:
“Your insecurities may actually be the reason God is choosing to use you.” - Jen Evangelista
“Insecurity is not relevant to God.” - Arabah Joy.

What areas of your life do you struggle with fear or insecurity?
This week we are starting a new series: Cultivating Unshakable Confidence.
The only way to have unshakeable confidence is to be aware of and sure of the promises of God and the truth of the gospel. Over the next few episodes, we will take a look at four different men from the Bible and the things we can learn from their lives to help us build the unshakable confidence that only comes through the knowledge that we are in Christ and Christ is in us.
In today’s episode, and first of the Confidence series, we talked about king Jeroboam and how he was afraid of loss, afraid of losing what God had already given him. How many times have WE feared loss?

04. Learning to Love the Proverbs 31 Woman
31 Jan 2022
00:24:16
Be honest - Have you ever sort of resented the woman from Proverbs 31?
In our study of Proverbs, we have learned the majority of proverbs have been written by King Solomon as the first 22 chapters or so were written by him. All these proverbs are useful for anybody, but then we end the book with this very special chapter that elevates the beauty and grace of womanhood.
In episode 4 (the last one from the Proverbs series), AJ and Jen tell it all on the Proverbs 31 woman- no holding back!
Is it fair for us to look at Proverbs 31 as a mirror and compare ourselves to the woman we find here? Comparison has never really been super helpful or healthy, especially when we go back to the gospel and know we can never compare to the standard that God has set (which is perfection.) Reality check: We know we're probably never going to tick all the boxes on this chapter. We close out our series on Proverbs with an honest discussion on the Proverbs 31 woman and how we can avoid falling down the pit of despair when we compare ourselves with her.

BONUS: 80's music, too much laughter, and how The Sojo Show started
28 Jan 2022
00:18:34
We decided to launch a BONUS episode so you can get to know the voices behind the podcast, AJ and Ginger, er, I mean, Jen :)
This episode is a little bit behind-the-scenes and off the cuff. Just AJ and Jen talking like they're sitting in your living room drinking tea or coffee. (in fact, they were sitting in a living room chatting with Sojo Academy friends... you get to listen in)
Oh, and super serious question we need your input on... are the 80's songs the best? And who do you think is the best dancer in this duo? We have ongoing discussions about these things, so want to know your thoughts!
Disclaimer: the original audio is from an impromptu (and hilarious) FB Live Jen and AJ did for the Sojo Academy members after Christmas when they were announcing the podcast (and totally acting the fool, lol). So, sorry for not having the best quality audio this time!
Also, listen to this bonus episode and find out about the day Jen made AJ pee her pants! And yes, it was totally Jen's fault, AJ doesn't have a bladder problem.
Our regular show will be released on January 31 so be sure to look for Episode 4. It's the last one from the Proverbs Series and is a must-listen for sure. See you there.

03. Understanding and Using your Influence
24 Jan 2022
00:21:52
What is something you have recently searched for and why?
We search for something when it is important, right? In today’s podcast, we talk about King Hezekiah and how he searched for Solomon’s wisdom. Did you know that part of the book of Proverbs was actually compiled by King Hezekiah? Interesting fact, yes?
We discuss that on this episode and we also talked about the weirdest food Arabah Joy and Jen Evangelista have ever eaten. Because it somehow seemed like it needed to be discussed.
And of course besides that and most importantly, Jen and AJ discuss influence - Whether you realize it or not, you can be a mentor to others, whether it's your own children or others in your daily life. Truth is, God has raised up people in every generation to stand for truth and righteousness and to shout wisdom. Whatever position you are in, and especially those who may be younger reading or listening to this podcast, use your influence and run hard, run passionately, put your all into advancing the kingdom of God and being a voice in this generation.
As we connect the Proverbs to the Chronicles and Kings, we also noted how the compilation of historical wisdom was used in order to try to reorient an entire nation back to God. Then, we wrapped up the episode by drawing some conclusions regarding what that means for us today.

God doesn't condemn you: Explore the promises of Romans 8:1-2
04 Mar 2024

Many of us harbor spiritual secrets, because, despite our freedom in Christ, we can still struggle with feelings of guilt.
In this week’s podcast episode, we talk about Romans 8:1-2, these verses mark an important shift in our spiritual reality, as we are free from the law of sin and death. And how we can live “as if” we are truly free of guilt, shame, and condemnation… because we are.
Let's dive into another of God’s promises, and secrets, and how we can apply God’s promises to our lives.
For Further Study: A complete 4-week Bible Study on Romans 8.

Nothing can separate you from God’s love
26 Feb 2024

When life is hard and chaotic, and you seem to lose your footing, it’s critical to be reminded of the truth of the gospel and the truth of your assurance. This is the promise Jen and AJ discuss on this week’s Sojo Show episode. And it’s a good one!
Scripture tells us we can be sure of the promise outlined in Romans 8:35, no matter what comes our way. We can be convinced that there is no power, nothing tangible or intangible, that can separate you from God’s love.

Never Give Up: One Woman’s Resilience in the Face of Hardships
20 Nov 2023
00:34:45
Jena Fellers joins AJ on the Sojo Show today to share how she faced moments of doubt and hardship but chose to trust that God was guiding her path. And how we too can discover the strength that comes from exercising faith in God, especially when we need it the most.
Jena's story serves as a tremendous example of walking by faith, not by sight. Despite facing the unknown, she never gave up, continually seeking God's guidance. As Christians, we understand that falling down is inevitable, but, like Jena, we have the ability to get back up, trusting in God's plan for our lives.

Today we are diving right into Galatians 1:10, and we can be encouraged by Paul’s example of not seeking the approval of man, but the approval of God. This single verse brings a valuable lesson for us and it’s one you do NOT want to miss!
We all want to fit in, not only in our personal lives, but we can feel the pressure in the church as well.
Today’s million dollar question of how to live free from people pleasing is discussed on the podcast this week. (And the answer is quite “simple”.)
So tune in today and listen to Paul’s story and how we can operate outside the box to seek God's approval and not man’s.
