Ever notice how the way you start or end your day sets the tone for everything else? When the day begins in a rush or ends in chaos, it’s no wonder we feel off balance, anxious, or exhausted. The truth is, those first and last hours of the day matter more than we think. They’re quiet, powerful moments that can either drain us—or fill us up. And when we treat them with intention, our Morning and Evening Routines become more than habits—they become sacred. This episode unpacks why Morning and Evening Habits are the foundation of peace, purpose, and how mindset works.
In this episode of Faith on the Journey, we’re keeping it real about what it takes to shift your daily rhythm. Join Rev. Jocelyn Jones as she opens up about the small changes that made a big difference in her life—and how they can change yours too. Whether your routine needs a full reset or just a little love, this is your invitation to slow down, refocus, and reconnect. Remember: how you spend these sacred hours shapes your days, your weeks, your months, and ultimately, your entire life journey.
