Can you feel joy while your heart aches for a child who's walked away from the faith? For parents living that tension, it can feel impossible to reconcile.Janet Aucoin talks with returning guest Stuart Scott about his devotional on wayward children, unpacking Isaiah 1 and Romans 9 to show that God knows the ache of rebellious children. They discuss confession, community, and resting in God's sovereignty rather than in a formula for parenting success. Their discussion uses scripture to point hurting parents back to Christ.Episode TranscriptResources:Podcasts/LecturesHumility - Joyful JourneyBrad Bigney LecturesBooksWayward Children - Stuart ScottFrom Heartbroken to Hopeful - Shirely ElliottCome Back, Barbara - John Miller and Barbara Miller JulianiWhen Good Kids Make Bad Choices - Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jim NewheiserIt's Not Too Late - Margy TrippDo Not Hinder Them - Justin PetersWebsiteRestorationVisit the Joyful Journey website to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.Emails us with questions or comments atjoyfuljourneyquestions@outlook.comFacebook,Instagram Donate to Joyful Journey PodcastJoyful Journey Podcast is a ministry of Faith Bible Seminary.

In this episode, I'm joined by Tanya Chomyk, author of Bringing Light to Loss, for a deeply moving conversation about grief, loss, resilience, and finding our way forward when life changes in ways we never expected.Tanya shares her deeply personal journey of losing her infant son and the many years it took to find meaning in that loss. We talk about allowing ourselves to truly feel our emotions, creating anchors to hold onto when life feels unsteady, and learning to have a relationship with grief rather than trying to push it away.Tanya also introduces her powerful distinction between “clean pain” and “dirty pain,” and shares her five-step approach to navigating loss and major life transitions: creating a safe space to feel, practicing self-compassion, finding moments of joy and gratitude, seeking connection when we're ready, and pacing our pain.This is a conversation about love, loss, healing, and the quiet ways resilience is built over time. And perhaps most importantly, it's a reminder that we don't have to see the light right away. Sometimes, we simply need to take the next breath, trust the process, and allow healing to unfold quietly.About Tanya ChomykTania Chomyk is a life transition expert, award-winning resilience speaker, and grief educator. With over 30 years of experience in higher education, career development, and personal growth, she helps people move through life's toughest moments with clarity, courage, and compassion. Her work is rooted in both lived experience and professional expertise. After losing her infant son unexpectedly, Tania's world shifted. That loss became the spark for a new path—one focused on healing with purpose and supporting others through grief, major life changes, and the journey of finding themselves again. Her debut book, Bringing Light to Loss, is a powerful reflection on grief, love, and the strength it takes to rebuild your life. A portion of proceeds supports the Child Life Program at the Montreal Children's Hospital, keeping her son's legacy alive by bringing joy to kids who need it most.

When someone you love causes you pain, how do you name what's happening, and how do you respond in a way that honors Christ? In this conversation, Janet Aucoin sits down once again with repeat guest Kevin Carson to explore how counselors discern the nature and depth of mistreatment in relationships, from safety concerns to a person's emotional and spiritual well-being. Drawing from the stories of Job and Peter, they reflect on God's compassion and mercy in the midst of suffering, and how His people are called to walk in trust, wisdom, and obedience even in confusing and painful circumstances.Episode TranscriptResources:PodcastsHelping Wives of Ungodly Husbands - Joyful JourneyThe Hesed Love of God - Joyful JourneyDemonstrating Hesed Love - Joyful JourneyLoving Their Souls - Joyful Journey Responding to Criticism - Joyful JourneyWhen Someone Else is Sinning - Joyful JourneyWebsiteMasters of Arts in Biblical CounselingVisit the Joyful Journey website to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.Emails us with questions or comments atjoyfuljourneyquestions@outlook.comFacebook,Instagram Donate to Joyful Journey PodcastJoyful Journey Podcast is a ministry of Faith Bible Seminary.

Are you truly depending on Jesus for your strength and growth, or are you quietly relying on your own effort, working harder, pushing through, and hoping He notices?Janet Aucoin welcomes her daughter-in-law Noelle Aucoin, who shares vulnerably from two years of unexpected physical limitations and how God used them to teach her about self-sufficiency's quiet grip. Together they explore three facets of dependence: being in relationship with Christ, trusting Him for sanctification, and praying for His glory. Their discussion is anchored in Ephesians 3:14–21 and D.A. Carson's sermon, Praying for Power. True surrender isn't passive; it's clinging to God's promise that all good things find their yes in Him.Episode TranscriptResources:Podcasts/SermonsPraying for Power - D. A.

In today's episode of 15:14, Kevin Carson, Executive Director of the Biblical Counseling Coalition, is joined by Janet Aucoin, Director of Women's Ministry at Faith Church in Lafayette, Indiana, and host of the Joyful Journey Podcast. Janet shares how the podcast began during the COVID era, her passion for providing women with biblically rich, practically helpful content, and the lessons she has learned over six seasons of ministry. The conversation explores the heart behind Joyful Journey's tagline—"When you choose truth, you choose joy"—and highlights Janet's commitment to helping listeners move beyond merely knowing biblical truth to faithfully applying it in everyday relationships and circumstances. Janet also offers a powerful discussion on biblical love, drawing from John 13 and the Old Testament concept of hesed. She explains how Christ's sacrificial love becomes both the foundation for our identity and the model for how we love others through suffering, sin, and life's difficult challenges. Janet is ACBC certified, teaches at Faith Community Institute, coordinates the Faith Bible Seminary Wives Fellowship, and serves as a retreat and conference speaker. She holds a B.S. in Human Resources from the University of South Florida. As you listen, pay special attention to this incredible quote: "We love because He first loved us. Before we focus on what we need to do, we need to stand under the waterfall of Christ's love for us." You can listen to the Joyful Journey Podcast here.

What if an intense focus on sin is actually keeping you from Christ rather than drawing you closer to him?In this episode, Janet Aucoin welcomes her son Josh, worship pastor at Faith Church, for a thoughtful conversation about scrupulosity, the tendency to become so fixated on sin that it leads to paralysis instead of peace.

In this deeply moving and expansive conversation, I sit down with wellness advisor, fitness and nutrition expert, and co-creator of Shakeology, Isabelle Daikeler.Isabelle shares her extraordinary journey through what she beautifully calls the “boulders” of her life—moments that forced her to slow down, surrender, and ultimately reconnect with a deeper intelligence within. From a devastating car accident in her early twenties, to a mysterious illness, to a decade of chronic pain after the birth of her son, her story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit—and the wisdom of the body.What stood out most for me in this conversation is the simplicity of what she teaches. In a world that constantly pushes us to do more, Isabelle brings us back to something so beautifully basic: one breath.We explore:Why slowing down is essential for healing and spiritual awakeningThe difference between reacting and responding—and how one breath creates that spaceThe body's innate intelligence and the role of somatic release in healingWhat true surrender actually looks like (and why it's not something you have to force)A refreshing and grounded definition of authenticity: telling the truthThis conversation affirmed something I've been feeling deeply lately—that we don't need more complexity. We don't need to strive harder. What we truly need is the willingness to be present, to feel, and to trust.If you take anything from this episode, let it be this: You don't need hours of practice, special tools, or the perfect environment. You can begin right here, right now… with a single, intentional breath.As always, I'd love to hear what resonated with you. And if this conversation speaks to your heart, please share it with someone who might need it. About Isabelle DaikelerIsabelle Daikeler is a wellness advisor, fitness and nutrition expert, and co-creator of Shakeology and several BODi programs, known for helping people reduce stress and live more authentically through a grounded blend of mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and spiritual well-being. Her spiritual path began at 22 after a devastating car accident left her unable to walk, leading her to heal through alternative medicine, meditation, and a self-designed recovery that awakened her to the power of the mind-body-spirit connection. For over two decades, she has guided celebrities, athletes, and everyday individuals in reconnecting with their true selves, cultivating inner peace, and living in alignment with their highest purpose.

Can you experience true spiritual rest even when a good night's sleep feels out of reach? Janet and Noelle explore the difference between physical sleeplessness and spiritual rest, drawing on a biblical theology of rest developed by Dr. Rob Green of Faith Bible Seminary. They examine what Scripture says about rhythms of work and rest and point listeners toward the soul rest found only in Christ, even in the middle of chronic exhaustion.Episode TranscriptResources:WebsitesFaith Bible SeminaryVisit the Joyful Journey website to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.Emails us with questions or comments atjoyfuljourneyquestions@outlook.comFacebook,Instagram Donate to Joyful Journey PodcastJoyful Journey Podcast is a ministry of Faith Bible Seminary.

In this heartfelt and powerful conversation, I sit down with Sandra Bargman to explore what it truly means to live with ferocious compassion—a practice of honoring our truth without abandoning kindness. Together, we dive into the lifelong journey of recognizing where we've been hiding behind masks, how suppressed anger can actually guide us back to ourselves, and why people-pleasing often disconnects us from our inner truth. Sandra shares her own deeply personal stories and insights, inviting us to embrace both our softness and our strength, and to stand firmly in who we are—even when it feels uncomfortable. This episode is a beautiful reminder that coming home to yourself begins with awareness, courage, and the willingness to choose authenticity over approval.About Sandra BergmanSANDRA BARGMAN has been described as a walking Venn Diagram.

Are your relational circuits on when you pray? Do they have to be? In this episode, we look at the brain science principles of the Joy Switch and Mutual Mind for how to relationally engage with God in prayer. Moving beyond big picture principles, we walk through the process of Immanuel Journaling inspired by the book Joyful Journey by Jim Wilder, Anna Kang, and John & Sungshim Loppnow. Our goal with this series is to encourage you to deepen your prayer life and explore various approaches to your relationship with God. By the end of this series, we'll have walked through three approaches to your prayer time that we hope you find impactful and refreshing.

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Arliss Dudley-Cash to explore the power of silence and what becomes possible when we stop filling every moment with noise. Together, we talk about why so many of us are afraid of stillness, how silence helps us discern between fear-driven mind chatter and the gentle voice of inner wisdom, and why learning to “practice the pause” is an act of courage and self-love. Arliss shares her personal journey—from science and law enforcement to spiritual business consulting—and how her health challenges became a turning point that taught her to truly listen inward.We also explore how silence can transform not only our inner lives, but our businesses—sparking creativity, deepening trust, and even increasing clarity and profitability. From two-minute mindfulness resets to scheduling intentional pauses in our calendars, this episode is an invitation to begin a quiet revolution: one where we choose presence over reactivity, progress over hustle, and self-trust over fear. If you've been craving more peace, clarity, or alignment in your life, this conversation will gently guide you back to the stillness where your truest answers live.About Arliss Dudley-CashArliss Dudley-Cash, MA, MBA is a business consultant, best-selling author, and prayer practitioner.

In this powerful and illuminating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Ricci-Jane Adams, founder of the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence, to explore a radically different way of understanding intuition. Ricci-Jane challenges the belief that intuition is a rare gift and instead invites us to see it as an innate human capacity—one that can be refined into what she calls intuitive intelligence. We talk about inner authority, self-trust, and our connection to the unified field of consciousness, as well as the vital role of the nervous system and her four S's: stillness, silence, solitude, and slowness.Throughout our conversation, we dive into the relationship between fear, the subconscious, and spiritual growth, and why fear is not something to eliminate but a messenger guiding us back to truth. Ricci-Jane shares profound insights on spiritual self-esteem, embodiment, and why developing intuitive intelligence is inseparable from healing and personal responsibility. If you've ever struggled to trust your inner knowing or found yourself looking outside yourself for answers, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate invitation to come home to your own wisdom. About Dr. Ricci-Jane AdamsDr Ricci-Jane Adams is the Founder of the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence®. Ricci-Jane shows us how to 'un-f' our intuition, activate our inner authority, and trust ourselves, so we can create wildly successful lives. Ricci-Jane resides in Melbourne, Australia, and is the author of Spiritually Fierce, Superconscious Intuition and Love Notes to the Divine. She has a doctorate from the University of Melbourne. She is a Transpersonal Psychotherapist and has devoted over twenty-five years to her spiritual awakening.

In this deeply meaningful episode of Joyful Journey Podcast, I sit down with someone whose work has profoundly shaped my spiritual path — Neale Donald Walsch. Author of Conversations with God and more than 40 books on contemporary spirituality, Neale joins me to explore his newest book, GodTalk: Experiences of Humanity's Connection with a Higher Power. This conversation felt less like an interview and more like a sacred exchange — one that reminded me, again and again, that we are never as alone or disconnected as we sometimes believe.Together, we explore the powerful idea that we are all already in conversation with God — we're simply calling it something else. Neale shares why it was so important to include real-life stories from people around the world in GodTalk, and how divine guidance often shows up in unexpected, even seemingly trivial ways. We dive into his six-step process for experiencing a two-way relationship with the Divine, unpacking themes of possibility, worthiness, willingness, wakefulness, acceptance, and discernment — and how fear versus love is the ultimate compass.This episode is filled with wisdom, humour, and heart. From listening to the “tummy test,” to trusting feelings as the language of the soul, to Neale's unforgettable moment on the Today Show when he distilled God's message to humanity into five words — “You've got me all wrong” — this conversation invites us to soften, open, and listen more deeply. If you've ever wondered whether a personal, direct connection with the Divine is possible for you, this episode is a gentle (and joyful) reminder: the conversation is already happening.About Neale Donald WalschNeale Donald Walsch has written 40 books on contemporary spirituality and its practical application in everyday life, including his new book GodTalk: Experiences of Humanity's Connections with a Higher Power, a book in the Common Sentience book series. Neale is the bestselling author of the Conversations with God series, which seven of the nine books made the New York Times bestseller list. Book One remained on that list for 134 weeks. His titles have been translated into 37 languages and have been read by millions of people around the world. https://nealedonaldwalsch.com Book Links to Buy GodTalkAmazon: https://amzn.to/3O0ud1cBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3KjN9pzAbout Anita AdamsI'm Anita Adams, your host and the founder of Joyful Journey, an organization devoted to teaching The Wisdom Way—a practice that helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives filled with meaning, well-being, and joy.

Marriage is the closest human relationship we could ever experience... Which means, as fallen sinners, husbands and wives get a front row seat to each other's exposed sin on a regular basis. In this episode, Brent and Janet discuss how healthy marriages should be a safe space — not for sin to persist— but one where sinners can receive compassion and help from each other as they fight sin together.Joyful Journey is taking a hiatus on recording new episodes for the next several months.

On today's episode of the Joyful Journey Podcast, I sit down with creative transformation coach, vibrational healer, and award-winning musician Jenny Elinora to explore how creativity becomes a pathway to healing, wholeness, and joyful living. Jenny shares her powerful story of reclaiming her voice after years of self-doubt and cultural conditioning, and how that awakening inspired her to help women in midlife rediscover their own creative fire. We talk about the role of play in becoming whole, the patterns that signal “creative betrayal,” and how simple daily practices can reconnect us to our aliveness. If you've ever felt the tug of an unlived creative dream—or sensed that there's more of you waiting to be expressed—this heartfelt, wisdom-filled conversation will speak directly to your soul.About Jenny ElinoraJenny Elinora is a creative mentor, vibrational healing practitioner, and award-winning musician who guides women in midlife to reconnect with their authentic voice and rekindle their creative spark. Drawing on years of performing, deep inner work, and her own journey of reclaiming self-expression, Jenny supports women in moving beyond perfectionism and fear so they can create from a place of joy, curiosity, and freedom. She believes creativity is both a path to wholeness and a powerful tool for awakening what's been dormant within. Whether someone feels called to sing, write, launch a passion project, or simply live with more presence and vitality, Jenny helps them return to their inner wisdom and step boldly—playfully—into the life they're meant to live.Connect with Jenny ElinoraWebsites: Growyourwholevoice.comGift - Retune Your Joy: https://joy.growyourwholevoice.com/About Anita AdamsI'm Anita Adams, your host and the founder of Joyful Journey, an organization devoted to teaching The Wisdom Way—a practice that helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives filled with meaning, well-being, and joy.

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!
