This episodes describes not only the practical journal routines but the heart posture behind them. Reflection through journaling is a powerful habit and can be simple. Morning and evening provide great practical places to record our life and give place and space to have touch points with our souls. There is a lot in this episode, but it boils down to basic AM and PM routines that are simple and doable and can be practiced at whatever level you want.

We are preparing for a new 10 week series, entitled Journal With Me. Using the Joy Challenge Journal as a tool, we will be digging deeper so that we can get the most out of our new reflection experiences. This episode helps listeners know what to expect and gives practical ways to prepare your heart for the season of reflection ahead.

The Refill Your Joy Collection is a variety of guided journals available on Amazon. Patterned after The Joy Challenge Journal, these journals can be used as a natural next step in the journey—or completely on their own.

In this episode, Joy walks through the features of each journal to help listeners decide which option best fits their needs and season of life.

At the heart of the collection is a simple reminder: reflection is a powerful part of living a life of joy. That may look different for each person—whether through journaling or another form of intentional reflection.

These tools were created to help people deepen their reflection habits, notice more of what God is doing in their lives, and hopefully be a blessing to whoever needs them.

Exciting things are happening with the broader Joy Challenge. I'm now taking a pause on releasing new episodes so that we can focus on some important milestones. I invite you to pray for the Russian translation (and the 2 more in process behind that). I invite you to pray for the teams traveling this summer to spread joy in other parts of the world. I invite you to practice your joy tools and catch up on past episodes and share with whoever comes to mind. Thank you for being part of this Joy Challenge calling. I am praying for you. I will be back with one more final series for the podcast after some time to regroup. May God bless you in every way!

Jesus is ALIVE! Hallelujah! Because He has risen, this creates many changes for our daily outlook and future. Because He has risen, this changes our fears into assurance about the future. Because He has risen, we can walk in a new identity. Because He has risen, I am now a new creation and the list of benefits is endless. I can live a life of JOY because Jesus is alive. Today we get to explore some of these. Feel free to keep the list going.
