Hesed (Re-airing)

JOYFUL JOURNEY PODCAST
About this episode

Our re-aired episode for this week is entitled, “Hesed.”

When you picture the love of God, what comes to mind? In this episode, Janet and Jocelyn invite you to discover the depths of God’s faithful Hesed love—a love that is unwavering, sacrificial, and relentless in its pursuit, even to those who turn away. This is a love that gives first, gives most, and gives even when it costs everything. Join us as we explore how understanding the steadfast love of God transforms our worship and draws us into a richer, more authentic relationship with Him.

Joyful Journey is taking a hiatus on recording new episodes for the next several months. This is a season of regrouping and refocusing for us and we appreciate your patience as we do this. That means we will not be airing our quarterly recaps on each of the gospels as we anticipated, but don’t let that stop you from digging into the gospels! We’re taking this opportunity to share some previously released episodes with you. If you are a newer listener, we’re excited for you to hear some of these earlier episodes and for our long-term listeners, we are hoping that these episodes will be an encouragement to you once again! We look forward to returning in the future so stay tuned!
