🎙️ Voice Up for the Voiceless – Season 2, Episode 16
Hosts: Angela Williams & Crysta Marshall

Life can feel like one storm after another—grief, trauma, chaos, and uncertainty. Survivors often wonder: Is joy really possible for me? In this heartfelt episode, Angela and Crysta remind us that true joy doesn’t deny the storm—it anchors you through it.
✨ What you’ll discover in this episode:
• 🌪️ Why survivors face unique “storms” of trauma recovery, triggers, and doubt
• 🙌 The difference between joy and happiness—and why joy is rooted in God’s presence
• 💔 Why joy can feel hard for survivors—and how to embrace it without denying your pain
• 📝 Practical, faith-filled ways to cultivate joy and contentment amid chaos: gratitude journaling, worship, scripture-based breath prayers, and noticing God in small, everyday gifts
• 💡 Encouragement from scripture: John 16:33, Psalm 16:11, Philippians 4:11–13, Nehemiah 8:10
💬 Key Truth: Joy is not the destination—it’s the fuel that carries you through the storm. The joy of the Lord is your strength, and His steady hand will not let you go.
