Description
Welcome to The Cheer UP! Podcast – Your Journey to Joy Starts Here!
Hosted by Kara R. Hunt and Cheri Swalwell, this is where you'll find real hope, relentless encouragement, and the kind of joy that outlasts the storm.
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
(John 16:33 KJV)
Life’s battles don’t disappear—but neither does Christ’s victory.
Whether you’re wrestling with anxiety, exhaustion, or just need a reminder that joy is your birthright, Kara and Cheri bring Scripture-soaked truth, laughter, and “me too” moments to every episode.
Tune in for:
Stories that prove cheerfulness is warfare against the enemy.
Battle-tested faith tactics for when life feels like a losing fight
Biblical takes on Scriptural truths (because overcomers need ammunition from the Word of God)
Uplifting stories that remind you joy is a choice
Practical faith for real-life challenges
Fresh perspectives on Scripture that make hope unavoidable
New episodes drop weekly. Arm yourself with joy.
