About this listen
In this first episode, Joy shares the story behind Oh, Good Grief. She opens the door to a vulnerable chapter of her life — one marked by loss, betrayal, church hurt, grief, resilience, and the slow journey of becoming whole again.
This episode is for anyone who has ever retreated into the quiet to heal, who has loved deeply and been hurt deeply, who has wondered if they’d ever find their way back to themselves, or to community.
What we explore:
Why this podcast exists — and why now
The difference between healing and hiding
The sacredness of community during seasons of unraveling
How grief and goodness can coexist
What it means to steward suffering well
The slow work of becoming softer, wiser, and more like Jesus
Scripture:
Genesis 50:20 (MSG): “You planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good… life for many people.”
Playlist:
The Oh, Good Grief Playlist, featuring the songs that carried us through. Today’s song: “Constant” by Maverick City.
