Lonely in Motherhood? Finding Friendship & Community as a Christian Mom
Are you walking through a season of loneliness in motherhood? You’re not the only one. In this episode of the Joy Filled Podcast, Jenna shares her own story of feeling left out and how God used it to remind her of the importance of community. From practical steps to finding mom friends, to encouragement for those praying for deeper connection, this conversation will help you see that you are not alone — and that God has designed you for friendship and fellowship.
✨ You’ll hear:
Why loneliness is such a common struggle for moms
How to take brave first steps toward friendship
The role of church and online communities in building connection
Listen in and be encouraged, mama. You don’t have to do motherhood alone.

Back to the Mic: Healing, Surrender, and a Fresh Beginning
After almost a year away, I wasn’t sure I’d ever come back to podcasting. But in today’s episode, I’m sharing the full story of why I laid the Joy Filled Podcast down, what God did in the quiet, and why I finally said yes to picking it back up again.
If you’ve ever felt the nudge to step away from something — or wondered if it’s too late to begin again — this conversation will remind you that God does some of His deepest work in the hidden places.
🎧 Listen in and let’s step into this new era together.

When Obedience Means Leaving Something Good
In case you missed it, last week I shared a big announcement - The Joy Filled Podcast will be coming to an end. Today I wanted to share a little more in depth about how I came to this decision and some of the ways I heard from the Lord through this decision making process to hopefully give you more clarity and encourage you if you’re also in the middle of making a big life decision.
