When suffering comes, whether from the consequences of another’s sin, unexpected accidents, global crises, or the ache of living in a fallen world, it often feels profoundly unfair. Yet, in the midst of struggle, looking to Christ’s example and His compassionate heart offers a fresh perspective and anchors our hope. This heartfelt conversation is a timely reminder that, no matter the circumstance, God’s faithful love reorients our hearts, guides our response, and leads us toward lasting hope.

Today, Janet and Jocelyn will take a look at what hesed love can look like, as we as Christ's followers attempt to live it out in everyday life.

This is a love that gives first, gives most, and gives even when it costs everything.

If God loves and cares for us, how could we fear Him, and why would we need to? This week, Janet and Jocelyn explore what it means to fear the Lord by examining the Scriptures. They discuss how we often fear many things in life, and how these fears can be misplaced. The ladies guide us to understand why fearing the Lord actually leads us to find hope in Him. ⁠Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources Handout ⁠⁠⁠2025 Scripture Reading Challenge⁠⁠⁠ Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.

What wisdom does the Bible offer about our inherent human weakness? In this week’s episode, Janet and Jocelyn explore the concept of weakness and what Scripture reveals about the limitations we were created with. The ladies discuss how embracing our weaknesses can actually point us toward our perfectly strong Savior, Jesus Christ, who deserves all honor and glory.
