About this listen
In this episode, Joy invites listeners to see the hard and holy seasons of life through a new lens. What if the desolate places aren’t evidence of God’s absence but proof of His presence? What if the wild is actually where we are most formed, refined, and readied for what’s next?
Through story, Scripture, and reflection, Joy shares how nearly every person God used powerfully—David, Joseph, Esther, even Jesus—spent time in the wilderness. It’s there that old identities fall away and new roots take hold.
Scripture:
Isaiah 43:2: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you; when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze”.
Playlist:
The Oh, Good Grief Playlist, featuring the songs that carried us through. Today’s song: “Unraveling” by Cory Asbury.
