Episode # 140 "Recap of 2024 & JOY!" with host, Jackie Brindle

Wow, what a year it’s been! 🎉 As we wrap up 2024, I’m taking a moment to reflect on all the amazing things God has done in and through this podcast. In this episode, we’re looking back at the highlights of the year, including our most listened-to episode, 120 New Age to New Hope in Christ with the incredible Heather Youpa. I’m so thankful for each and every one of you who’ve been part of this journey—your support and encouragement mean the world! 🙏💕 This episode is all about finding joy—real, lasting joy, not just as a feeling but as something deeply rooted in Jesus. From the big moments to the little everyday joys with family, nature, and serving God, I’ve had so many prayer-filled, joy-filled moments to reflect on. But it’s also about being real and acknowledging that there are joy stealers like: perfectionism, comparison, unforgiveness, and doubt. But in the midst of it all, we have Jesus, and He’s the source of our true joy! And guess what? I’m SO excited about what’s ahead! As we kick off 2025, I’m taking a little break—a 6-week sabbatical from the podcast and a social media detox (whoa, right?!). It’s time to recharge, pray, and reflect, and I can’t wait to come back in February with even more encouragement, inspiration, and joy to share with you all! ✨ So, don’t go anywhere, I’ll see you in the first week of February! BE ENCOURAGED! Jackie
