Psalm 37 - with Amy Baker
Have you ever found yourself stewing when someone wrongs you and seems to get away with it? It’s a mix of worry, resentment, envy, and self-pity that eats at us and accomplishes nothing. Returning guest Dr. Amy Baker, an ACBC certified biblical counselor, joins Janet to share how a psalm of David came alive for her after someone stole her identity. Amy prays through the whole psalm, showing what it looks like to turn Scripture into an honest, personal conversation with God. Listeners will be encouraged to trade worry for trust and rest in Christ, whose righteousness is theirs and who gives an inheritance no one can steal. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources: Podcasts Parenting Anxious Children - Joyful Journey Aging Biblically - Joyful Journey Website Joyful Journey Speaking Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.

Should We Assume the Best?
When someone’s past words or actions leave you hurt and guarded, do you find yourself expecting the worst? It’s a hard habit to break, and it can wear on the relationships that matter most. Janet and Leah examine where the idea of assuming the best comes from and what Scripture teaches about loving others when you can’t know their motives. They discuss why our trust belongs in God rather than people and why only He knows the human heart. Listeners are encouraged to love with wisdom and grace, resting in Christ, who has already loved us and covered our sin. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources: Podcasts/Sermons What Is Trust Biblically - Joyful Journey Does Love Always Trust - Alistair Groves Forgiveness Sermon Series - Milton Vincent Judging vs. Judgementalism - Joyful Journey When Someone Else is Sinning - Joyful Journey Articles Does Love Really Believe All Things? - Ed Welch Assume the Best of Others - Greg Morse Website Restoration Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.

Living a Life of Joyful Lament
Have you ever had the rug pulled out from under you? Perhaps you are carrying a persistent regret or a trial that refuses to let up. In this episode, Janet and Leah continue their conversation on the biblical practice of lament. Together, they examine our natural, fallen tendencies to run, vent, or shut others out when suffering strikes and contrast those reactions with the redemptive act of taking our grief directly to the Lord. Drawing from Christ’s own agonizing prayers in Gethsemane, this episode reminds us that because Jesus lamented, He is the ultimate refuge where we can safely bring our pain. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources: Podcasts Biblical Lament - Joyful Journey Books Dark Clouds, Deep Mercies - Mark Vroegop Gentle and Lowly - Dane Ortlund Dark Clouds, Deep Mercies Journal - Mark Vroegop Website Biblical Counseling Training Conferences Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.

Biblical Trust: Learning to Trust Wisely
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I'm just a trusting person," until someone proved you wrong? Or perhaps you’ve wondered whether forgiving someone means you must immediately trust them again. In this tender and truth-filled conversation, Janet and Noelle explore what Scripture teaches about trust, forgiveness, wisdom, and the safety we have in Christ. While God calls us to place our whole hearts in Him, He does not ask us to give people the same unquestioning trust. Together, they lovingly unpack the difference between extending forgiveness and rebuilding trust—and how we can wisely give trust room to grow as faithfulness is demonstrated over time. Whether you are recovering from broken trust, seeking to love someone wisely, or simply longing to grow in discernment, this episode offers biblical encouragement without shame or fear. Be reminded that Jesus is completely faithful, perfectly safe, and always worthy of your trust. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources: Podcasts/Sermons God is Unchanging - Faith Church Sermon Gospel Motivations for Forgiveness Part 1 - Joyful Journey Podcast Gospel Motivations for Forgiveness Part 2 - Joyful Journey Podcast Milton Vincent Forgiveness Sermon Series Books Gentle and Lowly - Dane Ortlund Website Masters of Arts in Biblical Counseling Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.

Missions-Focused Life
Does “missions” feel like something meant for someone else—someone willing to move to a remote jungle or across the world? It’s easy to assume missions is not for us and move on. In this episode, Noelle Haynie, who grew up as a missionary kid in Santiago, Chile, shares three meaningful ways every believer can take part in God’s mission. From praying for and supporting missionaries, to serving well on short-term trips, to seeing your own home, workplace, and community as places to reflect Christ, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what missions can look like. Instead of asking, “Am I called to missions?” discover a better question: “How is God calling me to participate?” Wherever He has placed you, you bear the image of Christ and He can use you to make His love known. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources: Website Faith Bible Seminary Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.

Dealing with Crisis - with John Babler
When a crisis comes, it rarely arrives at a convenient time. And when someone we love is hurting, it can be hard to know what to say—or how to help. In this episode, Noelle talks with Dr. John Babler, a longtime fire and police chaplain and seminary professor, about bringing the compassion of Christ into life’s hardest moments. He shares a simple, practical framework for caring well: showing compassion, serving humbly, listening attentively, and faithfully ministering God’s Word while all covered in prayer. Whether someone is facing a major tragedy or an everyday loss, this hope-filled conversation will encourage you to be the hands and feet of Jesus and point hurting hearts toward the comfort and hope found in Christ. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources: Books Biblical Crisis Counseling - John Babler Website Association of Certified Biblical Counselors Dr. Babler Resources Joyful Journey Speaking Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.

Wayward Children
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 Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources: Podcasts/Lectures Humility - Joyful Journey Brad Bigney Lectures Books Wayward Children - Stuart Scott From Heartbroken to Hopeful - Shirely Elliott Come Back, Barbara - John Miller and Barbara Miller Juliani When Good Kids Make Bad Choices - Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jim Newheiser It’s Not Too Late - Margy Tripp Do Not Hinder Them - Justin Peters Website Restoration Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.

Encouragement for Foster Parents
Foster care can feel isolating, even within a loving church community, but no one has to walk this journey alone. In this episode, Janet talks with Leah, a foster mom, about biblical encouragement for foster parents and practical ways churches can love and support the families around them. Leah also shares a heartfelt, Scripture-rooted invitation for more Christians to consider fostering, pointing us back to Christ, who has welcomed us all into God’s family through adoption. ⁠⁠⁠Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources: Podcasts Forgotten Podcast - Foster Initiative The Foster Movement Books The Gospel Comes with a House Key - Rosaria Butterfield Website Biblical Counseling Training Conference Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.

Handling Mistreatment - with Kevin Carson
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 Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources: Podcasts Helping Wives of Ungodly Husbands - Joyful Journey The Hesed Love of God - Joyful Journey Demonstrating Hesed Love - Joyful Journey Loving Their Souls - Joyful Journey Responding to Criticism - Joyful Journey When Someone Else is Sinning - Joyful Journey Website Masters of Arts in Biblical Counseling Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.

Finding Joy in Christ
What if joy was deeper than whatever season you are in? What if the kind of joy that lasts is the kind that stays rooted in Christ, not in circumstances? Janet and Leah point to Philippians to show that real joy is found in Christ alone, even in prison, plenty, or pain. They highlight Paul’s Gospel-centered perspective, Christ’s humility, and practical ways to pray, give thanks, and keep an eternal focus. ⁠Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠ Resources: Podcasts Joy in Trials - Joyful Journey Books In All Things - Melissa Kruger Website Faith Bible Seminary Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.

Dependence on the Lord - with Noelle Aucoin
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.

Scrupulosity - with Josh Aucoin
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. Together, they explore the biblical roots of self-righteous moral anxiety and point to the gospel’s invitation to trade performance-driven fear for the true freedom found in Christ. ⁠Episode Transcript⁠ Resources: Podcasts/Sermons Theology of Worship - Joyful Journey Podcast The Severe Results of Submitting to Works Righteousness Instead of Jesus - Faith Church Sermon A Peculiar Power for Prayer - D.

Sleeplessness & Rest
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.

Expectations in Friendships
Have you ever felt hurt by a friend who didn’t meet your expectations, perhaps expectations you may not have voiced? Janet and Leah discuss the subtle but dangerous ways unspoken expectations shape our friendships, explore Scripture’s vision for biblical community built on “one another” commands, and examine what it looks like to pursue friendships for God’s glory rather than personal fulfillment. Drawing on the friendship of David and Jonathan as well as Paul’s relationship with the Philippian church, they point listeners toward Christ as the only friend who truly lacks nothing. ⁠⁠Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources: Resources/books Friendship Diagram - Gail McGinty One Another Verse List Getting to the Heart of Friendships - Amy Baker Church Membership - Jonathan Leeman Rediscover Church - Collin Hansen and Jonathan Leeman Relationships: A Mess Worth Making - Paul Tripp Websites Restoration Men’s Ministry Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.

Resentment - with Dr. Jones
Is the anger you’re carrying really bitterness in disguise, quietly robbing you of the freedom Christ purchased for you? Janet Aucoin welcomes back Dr. Robert Jones, professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, to examine the line between anger and resentment and walk through six gospel truths that bring genuine freedom. They explore how clinging to bitterness means assuming the role of judge, a role that belongs to God alone. Rooted in Matthew 18 and James 4, this conversation calls listeners to fix their eyes on the Cross, where Christ’s forgiveness is the only firm foundation for a forgiving heart. ⁠Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠ Resources: Podcasts Anger - Joyful Journey Forgiveness Series - Milton Vincent Books/Booklet Freedom from Resentment - Robert Jones How to Overcome Evil - Jay Adams Websites Biblical Counseling Training Conference Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.

Spiritual Goal-Setting
Most of us set goals for our finances, our health, even our careers but how often do we consider spiritual growth goals? Janet Aucoin and cohost Leah explore why intentional faith goals matter, grounding the conversation in David Powlison’s insights on sanctification and the surprising truth that God uses different scriptural motivations in each of our lives.

You're Not Alone: Women and Masturbation - with Molly Bertles
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.
