Our heartfelt and empowering conversation was recorded at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Dallas with Danette Joy Crawford—TV show host, evangelist, author, and international speaker, known for her popular program “Joy with Danette Crawford.” Together, we tackle the timely and important topic of reclaiming a woman’s joy and power.
Danette shares her personal journey of overcoming deep challenges, including the heartbreak of facing single motherhood just days before giving birth. With vulnerability and wisdom, she offers practical, faith-based steps for moving forward, even when life feels overwhelming. From “soul control” and cultivating unshakable joy, to building community and the importance of reaching out for support, Danette’s insights will encourage any woman feeling powerless, isolated, or stuck in a “pit.”
Tune in for uplifting stories of transformation, real talk about mental health, and actionable tips on jump-starting your day with joy and reconnecting with your true purpose. Whether you’re a busy mom, single woman, or simply in need of hope, this conversation will remind you that your current situation is only temporary—and joy can once again be your source of strength.
Here’s a glimpse of what’s inside this episode:
Danette’s Personal Story of Strength Danette shares her powerful testimony of facing abandonment when she was nine months pregnant and how she chose not to “quit in the pit” but to take one step of faith at a time. Her journey reminds us that even in our deepest struggles, our stories are far from over.
The Secret to Soul Control Do you find your emotions running the show? Danette explains the concept of “soul control”—learning to bring your mind, will, and feelings under the authority of your spirit so you can move forward rooted in truth, not tossed by circumstances.
Daily Joy-Boosting Habits Danette suggests kickstarting each morning by proactively choosing joy—spending even five minutes with God, meditating on scripture, and setting positive intentions for the day. Small choices can yield unshakable joy!
The Power of Community Isolation can make struggles feel heavier. Danette emphasizes reaching out—whether to friends, a faith-based group, or a supportive ministry. She reminds us that community is key, especially when we least feel like joining others.
When to Seek Extra Support If you find yourself feeling persistently down, losing (or gaining) significant weight, neglecting self-care, or wanting to withdraw, Danette encourages seeking help, including counseling or prayer support.
Resources to Encourage You Danette’s ministry offers 23 outreach programs focused on helping single moms and at-risk youth. She also has a devotional, “The Power of Joy for Women,” available wherever books are sold. For prayer or support, her ministry’s phone center is open 24/7 at (757) 420-2625.
A Final Word of Hope No matter what you’re facing, “where you’re at is not your final destination.” Your breakthrough can start with a single, faithful step—and your hope might be exactly what someone else needs.
