The Joy Filled Podcast | Christian Motherhood & Encouragement

This year, we’re doing things differently. If you’ve ever felt behind before the year even starts... or sworn off resolutions completely because they never seem to stick — this episode is for you. In today’s episode, I'm walking you through a gentle, faith-filled approach to planning your year. Not one that piles on more pressure, but one that invites peace, presence, and God into the process. I’ll share how I’m vision-casting for 2026, the simple method that’s keeping me grounded, and how to break free from the all-or-nothing spiral so many of us fall into come January. In this episode: • the real reason most new year goals don’t work (and how to change that) • how to create a God-centered vision you’ll actually carry through the year • my favorite framework for building rhythms that last • how to stop making goals from a place of shame or striving • choosing a word, verse, and vision statement with meaning JOY FILLED MOTHERS CLUB Joy For The Journey: a free 3 day devotional for moms in the trenches Connect with Jenna on Instagram: @jennamariegriffith

What if the life you're living—complete with sticky fingers, sleepless nights, and scattered toys—is the very dream someone else is praying for? In this episode, Jenna shares a powerful, scripture-based perspective shift on motherhood, contentment, and the eternal value of raising a family. Inspired by recent songs from Taylor Swift and Kelsea Ballerini, we unpack what it means to be “rich in the ways that matter” and why the world’s definition of success often falls short of God’s design. Whether you’re battling comparison, questioning your purpose, or simply feeling tired in the day-to-day, this episode will remind you that motherhood isn’t a detour from your calling—it is the calling.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking “I’m failing,” or “Everyone else is doing it better”? You’re not alone. In today’s episode, we’re walking through seven common lies that so many of us as moms believe — and the freeing truths from God’s Word that replace them. From feeling like you have to do it all, to wrestling with comparison or body shame, this one’s a tender reminder that your worth isn’t found in your performance, but in the Person of Jesus. Grab your coffee, breathe deep, and let’s invite Truth to do what it always does — set us free.  In this episode you’ll hear: Why your “messy middle” might be the very place God is forming you The better question to ask when you feel overwhelmed How to recognize lies that sound almost true but steal your peace Practical ways to replace false beliefs with Scripture and hope “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” — John 8:32 JOY FILLED MOTHERS CLUB Joy For The Journey: a free 3 day devotional for moms in the trenches Connect with Jenna on Instagram: @jennamariegriffith

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “How do I do it all?”, this episode is for you. Between homeschooling, podcasting, and life with four little ones, this season is full.

In this episode, I’m sharing 10 simple systems and rhythms that are helping me stay grounded and grace-filled this fall — from waking up before the kids, to structuring my to-do lists, to trusting that God will give you the capacity you need for the season you’re in. You’ll walk away with: Encouragement for the mom who feels stretched thin A reminder that you’re graced for what’s in your hands Practical rhythms to bring peace back into your days JOY FILLED MOTHERS CLUB Joy For The Journey: a free 3 day devotional for moms in the trenches Connect with Jenna on Instagram: @jennamariegriffith

I’m four months postpartum with baby number four (which is just wild to say!), and I’ve been reflecting on what I’ve learned through each of my postpartum journeys — the hard, the holy, and the healing parts. In this episode, I’m sharing my five postpartum rules that help me protect my mental health and truly enjoy this fleeting season. From staying off your phone (yes, even the “helpful” TikToks) to guarding your heart against comparison, we’ll talk about how to stay present, rooted, and filled with peace — even in the middle of the sleepless nights. Whether you’re in the thick of postpartum right now or just preparing your heart for it, I pray this conversation helps you breathe a little deeper and remember: you’re not failing… you’re being formed.
