When a Leader Needs Healing (with Dr. Nathan Joyce) [JTW Podcast Ep. 49]

2026/10/13

If you lead long enough, leadership will eventually bring you to the end of yourself. Leaders grow tired. Leaders get wounded. And sometimes performance quietly replaces authenticity. In this episode, Greg Faulls talks with Dr. Nathan Joyce about what happens when the person accustomed to helping everyone else realizes, “I need help too.” Discover how weariness, misplaced loves, performance, and even ministry itself can affect the soul – and why healthy leadership begins with allowing God to heal the leader.

2026/10/06

How is your soul – really? In the busyness of life, we can become so focused on responsibilities, relationships, and productivity that we lose touch with what is happening inside us. In this episode, Greg Faulls talks with Dr. Nathan Joyce about four powerful questions for caring for yourself spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Discover a practical approach to becoming more attentive to God and your soul.

How do you see yourself – and how does God see you? Our self-image can be wounded by rejection, criticism, failure, and shame. In this episode, Greg Faulls talks with Dr. Nathan Joyce, author of Worthless?: Gospel Healing for Our Injured Self-Image. Discover the beautiful tension between the truth of God that humbles us and the love of God that values us – and learn how to see yourself more clearly through the eyes of God.

Trust God with Your Story [JTW Podcast Ep. 46]

2026/09/23

You don’t need a perfect life to experience a peaceful one. In the final episode of Receiving Serenity, Greg Faulls concludes this study of the “Serenity Prayer” as he explores being “reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.” Mature faith makes room for joy and sorrow, gratitude and grief, all at once. Discover how eternity changes the way we understand today – and how trusting God with the ending of our story frees us to receive His serenity right now.

Surrender Control [JTW Podcast Ep. 45]

2026/09/16

What if peace comes not from finally getting control of your life, but from surrendering it to God? In Part Five of Receiving Serenity, Greg Faulls explores the Serenity Prayer, “trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will.” Christian acceptance is never hopeless resignation. We face reality while believing God is still writing the story. Learn how releasing control and trusting God can loosen fear’s grip and open your life to genuine serenity.

Walk Through, Not Away from Pain [JTW Podcast Ep. 44]

2026/09/09

Our instinct is to escape pain – but what if constantly running from it actually keeps us from healing? In Part Four of Receiving Serenity, Greg Faulls explores “accepting hardship as a pathway to peace.” Scripture doesn’t teach that suffering itself is good, but it does reveal that God can use what wounds us to form us. Grief must be grieved, fear faced, and loss mourned. Sometimes the doorway to healing isn’t around our pain. It’s through it – with Christ.

Live in the Present [JTW Podcast Ep. 43]

2026/09/01

How much of today are you losing to yesterday and tomorrow? We ruminate over a past we cannot change and worry about a future that hasn’t happened. In Part Three of Receiving Serenity, Greg Faulls explores the wisdom of living one day at a time, while enjoying one moment at a time. Discover how Jesus calls us back to today – to receive today’s grace, notice today’s gifts, and experience God’s presence in the only moment we actually possess: right now.

Take Responsibility [JTW Podcast Ep. 42]

2026/08/26

You can’t change other people – but there is someone you can begin to change: yourself. In Part Two of Receiving Serenity, Greg Faulls explores the courage to change the things one can. Discover the powerful difference between control and responsibility, why asking “What part of this belongs to me?” can transform relationships, and how taking faithful action – without demanding perfection – can move you toward greater freedom, maturity, and the serenity God desires for your life.

Accept Your Reality [JTW Podcast Ep. 41]

2026/08/19

What if some of the stress stealing your peace comes from fighting realities you simply cannot change? In Part One of our new Receiving Serenity series, Greg Faulls explores the opening words of the Serenity Prayer: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.” Discover why acceptance isn’t giving up – it’s learning to stop fighting reality, trust God in the midst of it, and open your life to the peace He gives.

Drawing from the example of the Sycamore Group, a cohort led by Scott Sauls, and even the relational nature of God, this conversation is deeply timely and encouraging.
