​In this Episode, I interview special guest and former guest, Kathy Joy! Kathy is the author of the “Breath of Joy” book series showcasing God’s provision after the sudden loss of her husband, Roger. Formerly a radio girl, she now has found her voice in blogging, speaking, writing and leaning into meaningful conversations. She also has two grown daughters and is “Oma” to two adorable grandchildren. In our authentic conversation, Kathy shares her “Bread for Today-How God Met Me in the Wilderness” God Story and tells her God glorifying story of being a victim of a phishing scam, and her victorious recovery. She also shares encouraging and ministering words to those who are in need of encouragement or support and have been a victim of scammers.

This Episode includes a mental health tip from our ministry partner and licensed mental health counselor, Sherrie Pucket.

Video Version

In This Episode:

 

  • Kathy is an author, blogger, speaker, and writer leaning into meaningful conversations. 
  • She loves being a grandma to her two grandchildren. She is also a wild bird enthusiast.
  • Kathy shares her “Bread for Today-How God Met Me in the Wilderness” God story.
  • She was in a scary wilderness of financial devastation. Everything in her bank was wiped clean because she answered an email. 
  • After what happened, she entered into a shame spiral. The Lord brought her from a place of shame to a place of expectation.
  • It is when we are real that we can walk together towards the kingdom. God can get us through anything. 
  • Day by day, I had what I needed. He didn’t give me the three-month plan, but he gave me bread for tomorrow. 
  • Check out your texts and emails. Run any suspicious emails or texts by other trusted advisors. Be alert and aware. 
  • Our identity is in Christ. Because we live in a broken world, things will happen to us. Until we are restored to our real home in heaven, we are subject to sin and the corruption of sin. 
  • God put me in a wilderness to show me his provision. 
  • God propels us to tell our God story to encourage others. 
  • There will be bread for us tomorrow in our wilderness. 
  • If you are a victim of a cybercrime, reach out to your financial institution’s fraud department, the local police, and employ your prayer warriors.
