Call Your Sister with Joy & Jinger

Just Jinger & Joy: A Sister Catch-Up

Call Your Sister with Joy & Jinger

Show Notes

Jeremy's away, so Joy is stepping in as co-host and we might need to make this a regular thing.

In this episode, Jinger and Joy sit down for a raw and real catch-up on life lately, including navigating one of the hardest seasons either of them has faced, finding small pockets of joy in the midst of it, and leaning on faith when things feel impossibly heavy. Joy opens up about how getting outside, staying close to her kids, and the song "Pillars of Praise" have been anchoring her through it all.

If you've been in a hard season, need a good laugh, or just want to feel like you're catching up with two sisters over coffee, this one's for you.

More from Call Your Sister with Joy & Jinger

Oct 21, 2026

This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking about moving out for the first time. Neither of us went to college, so most of our “learning to live on our own” happened inside marriage, and we’re sharing all of it.

Oct 14, 2026

Hey guys, it’s Jinger! This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking about our first heartbreaks. Joy hasn’t had a classic heartbreak story, so she turned the tables and interviewed me. We start with our first crushes and Joy’s story of sitting through Austin’s plans to ask another girl out when she was 16, and how she tried to be supportive while hoping it wouldn’t work out.

Oct 7, 2026

This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking all things learning to drive. We grew up in Arkansas, where you can get your permit at 14 with a quick written test, and our dad taught us to drive long before any of that. We started on the weed eater, worked up to the lawnmower, then moved on to the golf cart and ATV, and eventually got behind the wheel of a car.

Sep 30, 2026

This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking all things weddings — the details nobody remembers but felt huge in the moment, the stuff we'd actually change if we could do it again, and the behind-the-scenes reality of getting married while being filmed for TV.

Sep 23, 2026

This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking all about sibling rivalry and what it was actually like growing up together in a house full of kids. We get into some of our favorite (and funniest) memories — like Joy's infamous fight with our brother over the school computer, and her reputation as the sibling who'd get talked into doing things she probably shouldn't have. Joy also owns up to being the one who body-slammed and pranked our brothers a little too much growing up!
