I’ve been with you on the journey of Joy99 for almost 26 years (gasp, I CANNOT believe its been that long) and I love sharing short tidbits of hope and encouragement every day on the radio show, but every now and again I just want to go deeper and explore the topics just a little bit longer…

I’ve had chicken chili before, but was always too intimidated because I thought it was really difficult to make. That was before I tried THIS recipe. Easy and YUMMY!…

Here’s a GREAT and EASY recipe to serve on the first day of school. (it’s healthy, too…but no one needs to tell the kids!) PLUS…it can be made with ANY cake mix you choose!…

We’ve all said it when we encounter a grieving person, “Let me know if you need anything”. We actually mean it too—we would do anything to offload the burden of grief if we just knew what would actually help that person…

I was at an event recently at the Van Andel arena and decided to buy a bottle of water. I knew it would be expensive, but my jaw dropped when I saw it was $8…

You may have made my Super Simple Sloppy Joes before, but there’s a way you can make them be “not-so-sloppy” Joes! This is SO GREAT!…

My FAVORITE Sloppy Joe recipe!!! It makes enough to share and it freezes well! The flavor is seriously unmatched (and it is kid-friendly and can be made without large pieces of stuff they think they don’t like!)…

Lent is a season of preparation. Here at Joy99, we are carving out time to prepare our hearts for Easter and we’d love you to join us!…

Winter comes every single year and winter seasons in our life are inevitable too, but the good news is that Spring also comes…

1. John 16:33: These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world…

This is the recipe that inspired the “Cookin With Brooke” section when I passed it along several years ago. (got the recipe from my mom in 1997!)…

First of all…thank you SO MUCH for praying for my daughter’s wedding day! There were so many ways we saw God show up, and I know it was because so many people were praying!…

Our hearts are heavy this morning over the news of the passing of Mandisa. We were introduced to Mandisa when she first appeared on American Idol…

“Goodness Of God” is one of our most requested songs on JOY99. Did you know it came from Jenn Johnson singing it into her phone?…

Isaiah 35:4  say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.”…
