Crushing the Enemy's Head Part 1

Our culture often treats singleness as a problem to be solved—but what does Scripture actually say?Janet Aucoin and co-host Noelle Haynie explore what it looks like to cultivate meaningful relationships both as a single person and with the singles in your life. Drawing from the examples of Jesus, Paul, and Mary and Martha, they discuss the unique opportunities that singleness provides, how married friends can care for singles well, and why community is not defined by relationship status.Episode Transcript⁠Resources:PodcastsSingleness Transformed - Joyful JourneyBooksSeven Myths About Singleness - Sam AllberrySingled Out for Him - Nancy DeMoss WolgemuthSingleness Redefined - Carolyn Leutwiler WebsiteFaith Bible SeminaryVisit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.Emails us with questions or comments [email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate to Joyful Journey Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey Podcast is a ministry of Faith Bible Seminary.

Masturbation is a topic many women feel too ashamed to discuss—yet far too many struggle with it alone. What does the Bible say, and is there real hope for change?Janet Aucoin sits down with author and biblical counselor Molly Bertles to discuss her book You Are Not Alone: Biblical Counsel for Women Struggling with Masturbation. They explore the unique ways women are tempted, why naming this as sin is actually the first step toward gospel hope, and why sanctification is not a solo sport.Episode TranscriptResources:BooksYou Are Not Alone - Molly BertlesRedeeming Sex in Marriage - Soctt MehlWebsite/VideosTransforming Love - Harvest USABrent and Janet Speaking WebsiteVisit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.Emails us with questions or comments [email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate to Joyful Journey Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey Podcast is a ministry of Faith Bible Seminary.

Marriage is one of God’s most intimate gifts — a covenant where two imperfect people are invited to reflect the love of Christ. Yet, because we’re all sinners, marriage often becomes the place where our weaknesses and failures are seen most clearly.  In this episode, Brent and Janet have an honest and hope-filled conversation about what it looks like to build a Christ-centered marriage — one that’s not a place for sin to hide, but a safe space where grace, compassion, and truth can grow. Together, they explore how couples can walk side by side, helping each other fight sin and reflect the beautiful love of Jesus along the way.  Joyful Journey is taking a hiatus on recording new episodes for the next several months.
