Our culture often treats singleness as a problem to be solved—but what does Scripture actually say?

Janet Aucoin and co-host Noelle Haynie explore what it looks like to cultivate meaningful relationships both as a single person and with the singles in your life. Drawing from the examples of Jesus, Paul, and Mary and Martha, they discuss the unique opportunities that singleness provides, how married friends can care for singles well, and why community is not defined by relationship status.

Masturbation is a topic many women feel too ashamed to discuss—yet far too many struggle with it alone. What does the Bible say, and is there real hope for change?

Janet Aucoin sits down with author and biblical counselor Molly Bertles to discuss her book You Are Not Alone: Biblical Counsel for Women Struggling with Masturbation. They explore the unique ways women are tempted, why naming this as sin is actually the first step toward gospel hope, and why sanctification is not a solo sport.

When God’s people face impossible odds, where can we find lasting hope?

Janet and Alexandra conclude their series on Judges 4-5, exploring Jael’s defeat of Sisera and the stark contrast between Canaanite and Yahweh’s treatment of women. They connect this story to Genesis 3:15 and reveal how Deborah and Jael point us to Christ—the ultimate deliverer who will defeat our enemy permanently.

The story of Deborah is often used as evidence for women in leadership. But what if that’s missing the point? 

In this two-part series, Janet and a returning cohost Alexandra explore the deeper theological truths behind the story of Deborah, Barak, and Jael from the Book of Judges. Join them as they uncover what God was really doing in the lives of these remarkable women and discover how understanding the context transforms everything.

With the new year comes a new season of brand new episodes, and new cohosts through the season! 

Forgiveness is one of the most difficult responsibilities of the Christian. When we’ve been hurt deeply, how can we show forgiveness to those who’ve wronged us?

Janet Aucoin and one of our new cohosts, Noelle Haynie, explore Christ’s example of forgiveness from the cross. They examine His intercessory work and His bearing of both the sin and pain of the world. This discussion reveals the hope we have in Christ’s work for us, and how we can extend that same hope to others who have wronged us.

Many Christians struggle with an anxious heart that can lead to panic attacks. How can we as Christians consider this often overlooked symptom of an anxious heart? In this episode, Jocelyn & Janet discuss how to handle anxiety and panic attacks with a biblical perspective.

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!

Marriage is one of God’s most intimate gifts — a covenant where two imperfect people are invited to reflect the love of Christ. Yet, because we’re all sinners, marriage often becomes the place where our weaknesses and failures are seen most clearly.  

In this episode, Brent and Janet have an honest and hope-filled conversation about what it looks like to build a Christ-centered marriage — one that’s not a place for sin to hide, but a safe space where grace, compassion, and truth can grow. Together, they explore how couples can walk side by side, helping each other fight sin and reflect the beautiful love of Jesus along the way.
