It's another bible study episode! These have become some our favorites. Jaime speaks directly out of a story in scripture about Abraham and Isaac. Be sure to follow along with us in Genesis 22. Jaime shares the story of Abraham and Isaac but listen in to see how she was most inspiried by Isaac's faith! (spoiler alert!) Be sure to share with us on social media what you took away from this scripture, too! As always, keep the faith and see the joy. Follow us on social media: @joyunseenpodcast

A topic we LOVE to discuss and circle back on... MARRIAGE! Jaime and Stephie are both celebrating 10 years of marriage this year so they decided it was time for a marriage check in. Neither is willing to settle for an "average" marriage, so how do they fight for a "soul-satisfying" marriage? Listen as they share open and honestly about their marriages right now. They spend time encouraging eachother and reminding eachother of the biblical truths about marriage and how to fight for the best marriage you can have!

We've talked about friendship before, but honestly, we've changed over the last 4 years and intentionally invested in the friendship between Jaime and Stephie as well as friendships with other close friends in our lives. We talk honestly and openly about how we do our closest friendships and why does friendship even matter? Why should we try? The bible calls us to community and we ought to do it well! Join us to chat through our honest thoughts about friendship. And as always, keep the faith and see the joy! Follow us on socials: @joyunseenpodcast @jaimemcguire_ @stephieclement

In this episode, Stephie joined her church in doing a 21 day fast and fasted from social media. She decided to document her thoughts along the journey by taking voice memos throughout the process. She learned a lot and reflected on the whole experience once it was over. It didn't go how she thought it would, and shares those raw thoughts along the way. Listen in to see what the Lord was teaching her! And as always, keep the faith and see the joy! Follow us on socials: @jaimemcguire_ @stephieclement @joyunseenpodcast

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHIE! - A special treat for Stephie's 32nd birthday... the recorded episode of an interview with her two favorite littles, Sloane and Silas. Silas is freshly 3, and Sloane is 5. Enjoy their precious little voices and your heart will melt when they both are given the opportunity to say anything the want, and they both choose to tell you about God. Heart. Melted. Enjoy!

Stephie opens up and shares about her thoughts on the fact that she had a tubal ligation after the birth of her second child, her son Silas. It wasn't something done in haste in the first place, but she feels like the Lord has done a work on her heart and is just processing out loud. Listen in to see why she says she regrets it and what the Lord is teaching her.   And as always, keep the faith and see the joy!
