Hosts Kathie and Spring explore what biblical joy really is — a gift rooted in God’s presence, hope, and the Holy Spirit. They name key scriptures (Psalm 16:11, Nehemiah 8:10, John 15:11, Romans 15:13, James 1:2–3, Galatians 5:22–23) and connect them to songs that reinforce joy in both calm and chaos.

The episode offers simple, practical steps to start the year with joy: slow down, declare scripture each morning, invite Jesus’ joy, anchor in hope, create daily joy rhythms (gratitude, journaling, memorizing verses), and intentionally remove what’s covering your joy.

Join Kathe and Spring outdoors as they reflect on the end of the year, share what they want to leave behind, and discuss priorities for the new year. They talk about relying on God, keeping commitments, recovery growth, and songs that inspire faith and gratitude.

Through prayer, personal stories, and practical questions for journaling, this episode encourages listeners to seek God first, leave fear and approval-seeking behind, and carry Jesus and praise into 2026.

Kathie and Spring reflect on their go-to scriptures as the new year begins, focusing on Philippians 4:6, Psalm 46:10, and Psalm 34:4. They share personal stories about anxiety and fear, recommend worship songs, and offer simple daily practices—gratitude prayer, journaling, and prayer with friends—to help turn worry into peace.

The episode encourages listeners to choose a verse to hold onto, release burdens to God in prayer, and build small rhythms that keep them anchored in Christ throughout the year.
