Hi! I’m Bethany Joy, though some call me Beth, Aunt Bessie, or even Bertha. I’m thrilled to start a new ministry at this stage in my life and to share the journey that’s shaped me over the years. It’s been a journey marked by wrestling with God, moments of stubbornness, and profound growth, leading me to where I am today.

In my desperate attempts to earn God’s love and escape the shame of my past, I found myself wandering and wrestling. Through that struggle, I discovered the joy and freedom that comes from integrating body, soul, and spirit—learning to connect meaningfully with myself, God, and others.

Today, I’m a mother of two amazing kids, a seasoned entrepreneur, and a devoted guide for others on their spiritual journeys. I spent over 20 years running my own business, balancing the demands of entrepreneurship, ministry, motherhood, and, yes, multiple marriages. Despite the successes, I often felt burdened by the daily grind and the grief that life can bring.

My story begins with accepting Christ at a young age, and experiencing trauma that left deep marks. For much of my life, I struggled with despair and discontent, often turning to people-pleasing, peacekeeping, and even alcohol to cope. Yet, I found myself repeatedly drawn back to God, only to feel shame and start the cycle again. Over time, I learned that ignoring my true feelings and desires in favor of following the “right” path doesn’t lead to true fulfillment.

My journey began to transform when I started to confront and understand my past pain. This shift led me from despair to a deep sense of freedom and joy. Now, my passion is to help others on a similar journey with God, to find their own freedom and purpose. I believe it’s okay to question, doubt, and even wrestle with God—these are the moments where we grow closer to Him.

I still wrestle with God, and I still have questions and doubts. But I’ve come to see that in these struggles, God meets me, revealing new ways to worship Him. My darkest season—a time when I felt like lifeless prey, barely escaping the grip of despair—taught me the importance of raw, honest communion with Him.
