Faith in the Journey with Troy Barnes is a podcast for people who know there's more to life with God than rules, rituals, and church on Sunday. Troy opens up about his own testimony—how faith in Jesus pulled him into the exact purpose God designed for him—and shows you how God can do the same in your story.
Each episode unpacks a key truth: faith works by love, not fear; the "work of God" is to believe, not perform; and your value is rooted in Christ, not in how well you check religious boxes.
Listen in if you want to be freed from performance, grounded in God's love, and encouraged to trust Him through every twist and turn of the journey.
Gratitude isn't just a feeling — it's a command from God with the power to change your life, and in this episode, Troy Barnes makes the case for why.
Wrapping up Season 1 of Faith and The Journey, Troy walks through key scriptures — 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Hebrews 11:6, Philippians 4:6-7, Psalms 100:4, and more — to show that being thankful "in all circumstances" isn't optional, it's God's will for believers.
He grounds this teaching in his own life: a season of joblessness where gratitude preceded the breakthrough, and a difficult stretch at a homeless shelter that taught him gratitude changes you from the inside out, regardless of what's happening around you. Troy also opens up about the doubts and hesitation he faced before starting this podcast, and how obedience — even reluctant obedience — led to blessing beyond what he expected.
This finale closes out Season 1 with a call to action: stop taking God's goodness for granted, and start living with a daily attitude of gratitude. Plus, don't miss the closing invitation if you've never given your life to Christ. Season 2 is on the way.

The Power Of Your Words I Faith In The Journey
Episode 11 of Faith in the Journey explores a topic we often take for granted — the power of the words we speak.
Troy Barnes unpacks scripture on how words carry the power to bring life or death, referencing Proverbs, Genesis, and stories like the Roman centurion's faith and the woman healed by touching Jesus' garment. He shares how negative self-talk can quietly shape our lives, and how simply speaking positively — even in hard seasons — can shift our entire trajectory.
Troy also shares his personal testimony of homelessness and how leaning on God's word carried him through, along with a heartfelt invitation for anyone ready to start a relationship with Jesus.

Episode 9: Miracles On The Waterfront
"Nobody can tell me God isn't real." Those are Jennifer Hebert's words — and after hearing her story, you'll understand exactly why.
Jennifer is a third-generation longshoreman, a mother of four, and a woman whose faith was built through real life — raising two kids alone by 23, fighting court battles, and working the docks full time just to keep it all together. But everything shifted the day she showed up to give away mittens to the homeless and witnessed God move in ways she never expected.
In Episode 9 of Faith in the Journey, Jennifer and Troy get raw and real about what faith looks like when life is hard, when something feels missing even though everything looks fine, and what happens when you simply say yes to God's call. From a ministry that grew overnight to miracles she witnessed with her own eyes — this conversation will reignite your faith and remind you that God rewards those who show up. 🔥
