In this episode, I sat down with Camille Joy, founder of the Moments of Joy Podcast and author of Moments of Joy: 90 Days of Encouragement, published by Penguin Random House. Camille is a trafficking survivor who escaped an abusive situation at 21, became a high school dropout turned executive chef, and fought her way into a six-figure salary by going directly to the CEO. When her youngest son Mason was diagnosed with autism, everything shifted again, and a raw, tear-filled video she recorded in her car after a difficult doctor visit went viral with over six million views in 2022.Today Camille runs two businesses: Moments of Joy, her for-profit media brand built on brand deals, speaking, and her book, and Awesomely Different, her nonprofit that provides swimming lesson grants for children with autism. She also shares how she and her filmmaker husband manage it all without a village, and what it really took to land Holly Robinson Peete as a podcast guest after five attempts over several years.Main TakeawaysYour test is your testimony: Camille's openness about trafficking, autism, and grief is what built her audience and her business.Tackle the shame first: Before you can turn your story into impact, you have to get comfortable sharing what you have been through.Serve before you ask: Camille landed Holly Robinson Peete as a guest by consistently showing up in her community, buying her book, attending her events, and reaching out five times before getting a yes.Caregiving and entrepreneurship can coexist: Camille and her husband run two businesses while raising Mason by communicating constantly, sharing schedules, and giving each other permission to pursue their goals.Highlights Include00:46 - Camille shares what life looked like before the Moments of Joy Podcast existed01:45 - Mason's birth story and three heart surgeries in 18 months02:42 - Receiving Mason's autism diagnosis and how it changed everything04:40 - Camille reveals she is a trafficking survivor and how she escaped at 2106:06 - How a stranger saying her name out loud was the sign she needed to go to culinary school09:14 - Fighting for the executive chef title at ConAir Corporation by CC'ing the CEO11:13 - Going to the CEO directly to demand her six-figure salary and getting it on the spot23:22 - The viral reel that changed everything: 6 to 7 million views after a tearful moment in the car27:06 - Launching Awesomely Different, her nonprofit that teaches children with autism to swim31:52 - Signing with Penguin Random House and the reality of first-round edits38:45 - How Camille and her husband manage two businesses and Mason's care without a traditional village46:01 - Why tackling shame is the first step to turning your test into a testimony52:03 - The strategy behind landing Holly Robinson Peete and why she reached out five times56:17 - Lightning round: resources, role models, daily non-negotiables, and parting adviceLinks Mentioned in This EpisodePodcorn (early podcast sponsorship platform): https://podcorn.comMoments of Joy Podcast: https://www.mojpodcast.com/ Watch & ListenSide Hustle Pro Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13qDj08lBR4ymzGhXIKy8tSide Hustle Pro Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/side-hustle-pro/id1126021323Social MediaInstagram: @momentsofjoypodcastTikTok: @momentsofjoypodcast Hosted on Acast.

Heather Wald joins Marnie to talk about the role the Visual Arts team plays in creating the various visual aspects of what we see in worship on Sunday morning and Wednesday night, because worship is designed to be experienced by all our senses. Heather walks through the different colors representing each church season throughout the year (think of it as our own holy rainbow connection). And, for some reason, Heather thinks that show-and-tell will somehow work in a podcast format.

Who was the woman at the well and what makes her interaction with Jesus so authentic? Pastor Eric walks through the structure of the story with Marnie. Along the way, he gives us some background on Samaria and why Jesus chose that specific route. He ends the discussion with the notion of how turning to God turns God to us (yes…you read that sentence correctly).

Spirit of Joy partner, Sioux Falls native, and aerospace engineer, Doug Daniels, joins Marnie in the Full of Joy studio to talk about his complex faith story. Doug shares his history from being raised Catholic to eventually joining the Lutheran church after marrying his wife, Kara. He dives deep into the challenges and questions he has dealt with over the years on his faith journey, and how today he has found the grace he needs to hear. And if you like popular music, he even brings U2 into the discussion.

Pastor Eric and Marnie are in studio to talk about the two sacraments that Lutherans practice. Don't know what they are? You will have to listen in to find out! Eric explains why the Lutheran Church only deals with two sacraments, as opposed to the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church. He breaks down the three-part criteria the Lutheran Church uses to determine the two sacraments, walks us through how our Spirit of Joy worship space is organized around these sacraments, and answers a couple questions Marnie has been wondering about.

The Prayer Labyrinth. You may have seen it stretched out on the floor of the Shalom Center during Holy Week or Epiphany. Or maybe you know (or didn't know) that we have one mowed into the grass in our church gardens. But what is it exactly and where did this idea come from? Jodi Hanson joins Marnie to give us more insight into walking the prayer labyrinth. Believe it or not, they have been around since 1200 A.D. (the one at Spirit of Joy is modeled after a labyrinth in the Chartres Cathedral in France). It is a spiritual practice that you can do alone, with a group, at your own pace, to help guide you through prayer and meditation.

This episode is day two of the story of Moses, building on what Pastor Eric talked about yesterday (if you haven't listened to Part 1, we recommend checking out that episode first). Today, the story heads back to Egypt for the ten plagues (and Marnie's issue with flies). Then, it continues to the Red Sea, God's presence as a pillar of fire & clouds, wandering the wilderness for forty years, Mount Sinai, and the end of Moses' life. Marnie and Eric conclude by connecting Moses to Jesus and the Gospels.

We have something exciting for this podcast: a two-part episode! Pastor Eric is in studio to really get into the “reeds” about the story of Moses, and there is so much included we are splitting it over two days! Today, Eric chats with Marnie about the first part of Moses' life. The discussion includes the baby in the basket, being raised in the Egyptian royal court, fleeing to Midian, and wraps up with the burning bush. Don't worry, Part 2 will be available tomorrow to finish the discussion.

Bella Tooley, our brand-new Coordinator of High School Faith Formation (i.e. our youth director), sits down with Marnie to help us get to know her better. Born and raised in Sioux Falls, Bella shares how she ended up here at Spirit of Joy. Along the way she has attended college, been a dental assistant, and is getting ready to start seminary in the fall. She talks about feeling the call to attend seminary and the realities of being a (soon-to-be) seminary student. And Bella and Marnie laugh…a lot.

Did you know there are over 30,000 Christian denominations in the United States? Don't worry, we're only going to focus on the Lutheran ones today (and, more specifically, the ELCA). Pastor Eric Ohrtman gives us a brief history of Lutheranism in America, including some things the ELCA emphasizes—i.e. education and the social gospel.

My guest today is Emily Lanphier. When she was just 28, and pregnant with her third child, she woke up in the middle of the night to a police officer knocking at her door. He was there to tell her that her parents had died together in a car accident. Those of you who are local may remember this horrific story as many of us knew and admired her parents, Ty and Terri Schenzel. Over the last 10+ years, Emily has leaned into her grief AND leaned into joy! As you listen to her story of growing in gratitude and faith, even in extremely difficult circumstances, I think you'll be encouraged in your own fight for joy! *The Fighting for Joy Podcast is sponsored by Better Help, an online counseling service that pairs you with a professional licensed therapist who will combine Biblical wisdom with their clinical expertise in mental health to help you address your unique situation.

Heather gives a quick layout of everything it includes: hymns, liturgies, psalms, prayers & services. She also gives an in-depth explanation of all 654 hymns…just kidding. Marnie and Heather share their favorite hymns, Marnie takes issue with bridges in church music, and Heather tells the fascinating and tragic story of the song “When Peace Like a River.”

This week Craig's TV watching habits opened the floodgates to a bigger question. There's a new CNN docu-series about the tragic death of JFK Jr. called “American Prince” and while watching it, Craig somehow got the notion in his head that at some point in history and of all the tragic deaths surrounding The Kennedy family one of them happened to be eaten by a shark. The JFK Jr. story has been on Craig's mind himself, not just because the show he's watching but he too has a pilot's license and is an avid fan of aviation. Have a question for Craig?

Craig is fresh off his recent promotional tour for his show SCRABBLE and he reflects on some interviews he did on podcasts. But things very quickly turn to the topic of vampires? Why?

It's the new year and we have the first episode of the Joy Podcast of the new year. And what better way to kick off 2026 with Craig checking in with you all? But first some light housekeeping and a quick addressing of a unintentionally controversial take about bagpipes from last week's episode and possibly following it up with another unpopular opinion about more music. Heck, even Emily In Paris is unsafe. Have a question for Craig? Drop him an email at craigfergusonpodcast@gmail.com, send him a message on social media, or drop a comment below.  _______________________________________________ Craig is also on the road.
