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.

Where Is Your Hope Really? | When Faith and Expectations Don’t Match (John 20 Easter Reflection)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Where is your hope really?
In this Easter Monday reflection, we take a deeper look at John 20:11–18 and the response of Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb.
Although she followed Jesus, witnessed His miracles, and heard His promises, her expectations in that moment did not reflect hope.
And many of us can relate.
We say we believe God.
We declare His word.
But when faced with delay, disappointment, or opposition, our expectations quietly shift.
This episode explores the gap between faith and expectation—and how Easter reminds us to return to hope.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why expectations reveal the true state of your heart
- How life experiences can quietly reduce your hope
- What the empty tomb teaches us about trusting God fully
- How to realign your expectations with God’s promises
The tomb is empty.
God’s word will come to pass.
