The Source of Lasting Joy
## Episode Notes
Are you tired of chasing happiness, only to find that joy still feels just out of reach?
In this episode, I share my own search for peace and joy through self-help, personal growth, and New Age spirituality—and why none of it gave me the lasting fullness I was looking for.

We will look at what Scripture says about joy as a fruit of the Holy Spirit, why ab...

Delivered from the New Age: God’s Rescue of My Heart and My Marriage
In this episode, I share how God delivered me out of New Age spirituality and began to rescue and reshape my marriage. I talk about early spiritual experiences—a vivid dream of breaking glass followed by a real car accident, and a powerful vision of standing in front of Jesus and feeling an overwhelming, indescribable love—and how those moments opened my eyes to the spiritual realm but slowly led me to chase the experience instead of the Source.
I walk through how that desire to “feel that way again” pulled me deeper into New Age practices: card pul...
From Anxious Wife to Anchored in God: My Marriage Wake‑Up Call
On our wedding day, the whole church burst into laughter when I botched my vows and the preacher warned my husband he’d “have his hands full with this one.” Years later, that offhand comment proved truer than anyone knew.
