Give Me Joy

After a break in creating content, we’re joyful to be back! And we have plenty of updates to share. In this new episode, titled “He Answers Prayers!” Ally dives deep into prayers she’s seen answered in this current season, her recent baptism, her first speaking opportunity, and so much more!

“God has been up to so much, and my words fall short. Here I am, trying to put what’s indescribable into words, what it means to be standing in the midst of answered prayers that I spent years praying for, and there’s just no adequate words for that.”

The power of words… how often do we really recognize the impact of what we speak into the world? What you say, holds more power than you may think! 

In this episode, we have a conversation about the power of life giving words. And how life and death is truly in the power of our tongue. Through personal conviction, and leaning on the truth of God’s word, we have been learning so much in this area. Whether it be, mindfulness towards gossiping, speaking positively in a negative environment, or providing encouragement to loved ones, there are so many ways in which the concept of choosing our words carefully has changed our lives! We hope this can be an encouragement to you too!!

In this episode, “Convictions: Christianity and Drinking” we begin a series on conversations about convictions in our faith. Overall, our heart is to shed some light on what conviction is, how and why we should follow the things the Lord lays on our heart, and also the fact that convictions are truly personal and at the individual level. 

This is not an episode to say, “do what we do” but rather “do what the Lord asks of you.” This is not our attempt to say “do/don’t do this” to earn favor with God. Rather, fall more in love with the Lord and let that produce a desire and excitement to abide in him. 

The topic of drinking has truly been one we have spent so much time learning about, and we want to be so sensitive to the place in which each listener could be upon listening. If you fear this is a sermon in which someone is going to self righteously suggest “just quit” or shame you into change, rest assured that is not what you will be hearing. Instead, you are going to find two girls who have grown in their love for the Lord in such a way, that He would be so kind as to convict and move in our hearts in a way that has changed our lives. And as He does so in ours, He has asked us to take the step of obedience in sharing about it with you!

Thank you for listening, we love you! - A&A

What will the New Year look like for you? 

In this episode, Avry & Ally talked all things Faith, God’s beautifully crafted timing, and what can happen when we obey his commands. 

It’s no secret that God’s plan will ultimately always be better than our own. However, learning to lean on His understanding apart from our own is no easy task. He calls us to walk by Faith… to know there is beyond what we can see. 

We may not be able to see what 2025 will bring us, but we can rest in knowing that HE DOES! This year, we challenge you to embrace the unknown, enjoy seasons of waiting, and feel the peace we are brought when we let God take the drivers seat.

We were left speechless by the stories shared. It’s truly incomprehensible to understand just how in the details and good God is.

Keep sharing your stories, because it has the power to not only encourage someone but perhaps even change someone’s life! We trust that the stories shared on today’s episode will do just that! Thank you, and love you all!

From the bottom of our hearts, we are so thankful for your support as we’ve embarked on starting this podcast. We are so expectant and excited for what God is going to do in the second season! Stay tuned for many more life giving conversations to come!

Please welcome Avry Grumblatt (soon to be Terry) as our new cohost on the give me joy podcast! The decision to bring Avry on as a cohost was truly the easiest decision as she seamlessly fits into this role. God knew what he was doing in bringing Avry and Ally together, long before they did. Today the girls have a conversation about the heart behind how this all came about and the hope for the rebrand! As always, thank you for your support in making not just one but now two dreams come to life! We love you all so much! - A&A

This episode is the perfect addition to the first episode featuring Avry Grumblatt! We couldn’t find a way to end the first conversation, so here we are again with another. We decided to call this one “Just give it to God” because that’s where we kept landing again and again. This conversation was deeply personal and all the while applicable for anyone listening!
