Mud Stories is a podcast dedicated to bringing you inspiration in your muddiest moments, hope to make it through your mud, and encouragement for you to know, you are not alone.
In today’s episode I’m continuing with part two of my conversation with Christy Johnson–certified life coach, writer, and inspirational speaker, who advocates for each of us to develop healthy souls within our relationships.
After a disastrous first marriage filled with addiction and adultery–and the tragic death of her two-and-a-half year-old son–Christy has found beauty on the other side of brokenness.
Last week, Christy shared part-one of her personal mud story, and if you have not heard her share in that episode 008, I highly encourage you to go back and listen to the insight and wisdom Christy shares, as it will give you a helpful backdrop to understand where she begins in today’s episode.
Christy has written a book–born out of her time in the mud–called Love Junkies
And even if a toxic relationship or relationship addiction is not an issue for you, I promise there will be something for each of us in what Christy shares today!
In this episode we discuss:
- The tragic death of Christy’s two-and-a-half year-old son Jake
- The way to have a peace that defies understanding
- How unforgiveness can destroy our progress and healing
- How to have joy and grace amidst trials
- A QUIZ: Are a “love junkie”?
- A soul assessment TEST
- And 7 steps to take toward soul health

SCRIPTURE:
This is what God says,
the God who builds a road right through the ocean,
who carves a path through pounding waves,
The God who summons horses and chariots and armies—
they lie down and then can’t get up;
they’re snuffed out like so many candles:
“Forget about what’s happened;
don’t keep going over old history.
Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new.
It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it?
There it is! I’m making a road through the desert,
rivers in the badlands. Isaiah 43:16-19 (MSG)
