Keeping Your Heart Alive When Life Hurts: A Conversation with Joy Scott!
In this deeply moving episode of Anchored by the Sword, I sit down with author and mama Joy Scott, whose story is marked by faith, loss, healing, and unwavering hope. Joy is the author of Flow: Keeping Your Heart Alive When Life Hurts, released this past September—a book born out of unimaginable pain and profound encounters with God’s presence.
Joy shares her powerful journey of walking through abuse, divorce, and the devastating loss of her four-year-old son, Joseph, to brain cancer. Through it all, she has learned how to keep her heart open, tender, and anchored in God instead of closing off in survival mode.
We talk about:
• What it means to truly guard your heart (Proverbs 4:23)
• How to stay connected to God in the middle of deep grief
• Why God is not the author of sickness or loss—and how His love carries us through
• How to process pain honestly without getting stuck in it
• Why forgiveness is about freedom, not forgetting
• How Psalm 139 gives us a blueprint for healing
Joy’s message is clear: your pain does not disqualify you—it becomes the place where God meets you.
Whether you’re walking through loss, betrayal, heartbreak, or just trying to survive a season that didn’t go the way you hoped, this episode will remind you that God is still near, still good, and still writing your story.
