Hosted by: Ashlee Canipe & Blair Nodine
The podcast where we bring our whole selves to the table —
mess and all —
and find Jesus right in the middle of it.
We’re two women seeking truth in Scripture, hope in the hard places, and joy that
doesn’t wash away when life gets muddy.
So pull up a chair, grab your coffee (or sweet tea!), and let’s talk life, faith,
and all the junk in between — because with Jesus?
There’s joy that lasts.
Tired of Being Strong? Finding God’s Strength in Grief and Hard Seasons
Do you feel pressure to be the strong one, even when you’re hurting? What happens when you love Jesus but feel emotionally exhausted and don’t have it all together?
In this honest episode of Joy in the Junk, Ashlee Canipe and Blair Nodine talk about grief, vulnerability, and finding God’s strength in weakness. Blair shares the weight of losing her stepdad and navigating changes in her mom’s care, while Ashlee opens up about wanting to fix situations instead of waiting on God.
Together, they explore the pressure Christian women feel to stay strong, the importance of safe people, and the difference between temporary happiness and lasting joy in Christ. Drawing from Scripture, including the story of Naboth’s vineyard, they discuss trusting God when obedience is painful and life feels unfair.
If you’re grieving, walking through a difficult season, or tired of pretending you’re okay, pull up a chair. You can be hurting and still have faith. You can feel weak and still lean on a strong Savior.
