ARE YOU FLOURISHING IN YOUR FAITH? THREE YEARS AGO YVETTE WASN’T. She'd been walking around for years believing in God, but with a dead heart.  After hearing God’s calling, she started POSITIVELY JOY as a podcast and ministry about the struggle for everyone to walk in their joy. Her devotional, "Whispering in His Ear," focuses on the quest to talk to and listen to God's message every day.

 Yvette Walker is the founder of Positively Joy Ministries at positivelyjoy.com, and manages a Facebook community group along with other social media related to her ministry. Yvette is a college dean of students, and has been a newspaper editor, a news ombudsman, a reporter, and web manager. She is a native of Chicago and now lives in Oklahoma.

Yvette spoke for our online conference called Encourage. Yvette was wonderful to work with. She was professional and timely. Yvette's speaking is very engaging and full of joy. Her passion and love for the Lord are evident when she speaks. She is relatable as a speaker and easy to listen to. She provided downloads to go along with her topic to enhance her presentation as well. I would highly recommend her as a speaker and hope to be able to work with her again.

Yvette did a short devotional on her book Finding Joy at the 2022 Fall in Love with Jesus Women's Retreat in Broken Bow Oklahoma that I organized. She was great at listening and encouraging us with using the book to help us daily finding joy. She also prepared a Sabbath prayer on our Friday night dinner where we broke bread and took communion together. Yvette helped pull this retreat together with her speaking and I truly valued her time she gave us while she joined us there.

Yvette is a phenomenal communicator and engages her audience accordingly. Yvette prays about what she is to share with others. Last year, Yvette spoke at our monthly Women's Breakfast event and she spoke life into many. We appreciate Yvette and her willingness to help others spiritually and emotionally.

Lyrics From My Faith

Song lyrics are poems at heart. Words that come from a deep discovery of the love of God. These poems are song lyrics – some realized, some needing music – that Yvette wrote at the same time as the devotional, Whispering in His Ear, came to life. We talk to God. Sometimes. But we really don't expect a response. Neither do we look for him in everyday situations. Yvette does, and she tells of her simple but poignant life lessons with God in these lyrics! Yvette Walker's testimony drives this book of poetry: that you can be a believer all your life without fully understanding...
