Jola Speaks
Jola Speaks is a daily Podcast intended to grow and equip its listeners in their trust walk with God. The current focus is on obtaining clarity as we go through our individual processes with God - drop our own will, answering His calling, trusting Him and submitting to His Will. Why me? Why am I here? Why don’t I feel content with my achievements? What is happening to me? Why does my heart feel so heavy? What is wrong? Yes! we have so many questions, I have been there, I understand what you are going through, and you are not alone. I am by no means an expert and every episode is inspired by the Holy Spirit. Let us all learn together under the leading of the Holy Spirit. The podcast unexpectedly started in December 2022 Please listen to the first podcast titled My Podcast Testimony for the full story. I know you will be enlightened as you listen. Got questions? Please let me know.
