   The Final Episode - Updates & Thank You's from Mattie

   Well y’all, it’s finally time. It’s finally the moment to hang up the mic on In Joy Life – and not as a failure or unwanted ending but as a beautiful exclamation point and real-time walking out of the message I’ve preached on here for three years now: DON’T MISS A MOMENT. GO SAVOR AND IN-JOY YOUR LIFE. If you’ve been here long, you’ve been through the deepest valleys and most miraculous, sun-soaked mountaintops, and I’m so grateful you have. And for now, this season of podcasting for me is finished. I’m proud of it. I’m thankful for it. I feel like mine has been the heart God has most moved and changed over the course of each intentional interview and episode. This season of creating and learning and sharing with you has been precious to me in every way. Thank you for offering me your ears and your time. And no matter where you are – what celebrations or what griefs mark your days – remember joy is a choice we can make together. I’m Mattie, and this is the In Joy Life podcast.

   Unmask the Enemy’s Lies, Walk in Freedom with Emily Wilson Hussem

   This week's episode is one of the greatest tools to freedom for women of this generation. PERIOD. In her new book, Sincerely, Stoneheart, Emily Wilson Hussem (https://emilywilsonministries.com/) draws from her 14 years in women's minsitry as well as her own experiences as a wife and mother of 3 to address 42 specific lies that make up Satan's playbook to attack and destroy women in the day to day of life. Inspired by C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters, this book shows how tricky influences can twist women's beliefs about themselves and their faith. It talks about big themes like identity, being a mother, and how technology affects us. The story encourages readers to recognize these challenges and overcome them to find true freedom and happiness in their beliefs.

Published 21 Oct 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And that season always looks different for everybody and in different times. And that seasons are not just okay, they're necessary. So, you know, that always brings me back to Ecclesiastes 3. And I kind of giggle quoting this in a final episode because one of my first ones was with My longtime pastor, Scott Sauls, who's an Enneagram 4, and he always said Ecclesiastes was his favorite book of the Bible, which is hysterical because it's kind of depressing. That bit in the third chapter where it says there's a time for everything under the sun, and I think we all— like can cognitively say we believe that, like we understand that there are seasons, right?
