✨ Episode Notes

People often assume I carry joy because of my name, Holli. But joy wasn’t born from an easy life or perfect circumstances. It came from the exact opposite. In 2003, my world went so dark I barely remember seeing color. I was functioning on the outside but drowning inside. What shifted everything wasn’t time, therapy, or even support, though those helped. It was joy — not the fake, pasted-on kind, but the supernatural kind that comes from heaven.

In this episode, I share how joy became my rebellion against despair and why Scripture calls it both medicine and strength. We’ll unpack why joy is not something we wait for after the storm but a weapon we can wield in the storm.

This episode also dives into the prophetic picture behind the Joy Over Infirmity design from Threads That Heal and offers you practical tools to partner with joy when life feels heavy.

In this episode you’ll discover:

• Why joy is more than an emotion — it is medicine and strength
• How joy disrupts heaviness and hopelessness
• The prophetic meaning behind the Joy Over Infirmity design
• Five declarations to anchor your heart when despair creeps in
• Reflection questions to help you partner with joy as a weapon
