Today, we explore how to start the year with a strong spiritual foundation by reconnecting with faith and purpose. We sit down with Pastor Ro and Pastor Sue Thompson of Deeper Church in Dallas, Georgia. We cover practical steps, how to discern goal alignment with your God-given purpose, what role community plays in maintaining your spiritual momentum, and some scriptures to help you find clarity.

Tonia D Benas is the founder of The Journey of You. The Journey of You is YOUR Journey. Your path from birth to expiration and the dash in the middle that is totally yours to own! That dash is your story, your journey, along this path of life - and how you spend it matters.

Tonia empowers Christian women to overcome self-limiting beliefs in order to think, act & live their purpose, one mindset shift at a time.

She continually reminds us that our story matters, and that we all have one. How we view that story colors our viewpoint of ourselves and dictates everything that we do or don't do. It's important to notate what lens we are viewing our story through and adjusting that lens if we need to.

If you need help adjusting your lens and viewpoint of your own story, visit Your Story Matters Lead Magnet to begin rewriting your story now!

This is YOUR journey; it's where YOUR life begins! (Life on your terms!)

About the Podcast

The Journey of You
YOUR Story. YOUR Journey. YOUR Life. Where testimony meets transformation.
Real stories. Raw healing. Redemptive truth. This is a space for women who are ready to stop performing and start becoming. Hosted by Tonia—a transformational coach, author, and woman in restoration—each episode invites you into honest conversations about faith, identity, emotional healing, and the sacred messiness of growth.

We talk about what it means to rebuild after burnout, to lead while healing, and to trust God in the in-between. Whether you’re navigating marriage, ministry, motherhood, or a major life pivot, this podcast is here to remind you: Your story still matters. Your healing is holy. And your journey is not wasted.

What You’ll Hear:
Testimonies that stir your spirit and speak to your season
Coaching moments that offer clarity, strategy, and soul care
Guest interviews with women walking out purpose in real time
Scriptural reflections that anchor you in truth
Behind-the-scenes glimpses into rebuilding, rebranding, and restoring what matters most.

This isn’t just a podcast—it’s a movement of women who are choosing wholeness over hustle, legacy over likes, and truth over trends.
