I’ve listened to every single episode in 2025 and my relationship with Jesus has never been stronger. Emma, her guests, and the other guest hosts breakdown every passage with clear exegesis and application. Join the Journey is legit!

Watermark Staff and church family: I am not a member but I have listened to YOTW podcast since Sept 8th when you all were in Amos. One of your members told me about this and the app. I was attending one of your ministries on Monday nights that while it was hard I became a Christian on Oct. 30th. Thank you for making this available for even those of us that aren’t members. 5 out of 5 ⭐️’s Can’t wait for Acts in 2026!! Michele

Loved Emma Dotter from the TBR Deep Dive Podcast and I had to see if she’s done other work! I’m glad to find her here! She does so good!

I have been praying for so long that I would find a friend I could learn about the Bible with, ask questions to, and get insightful answers from - daily! I thank God I found Emma and this podcast! No, I cannot personally ask Emma the questions, but she sure is asking them on my behalf! The “prompts” given to the guests in the Podcast are questions I’ve had for years; and the answers Emma or the guests give, have brought me to new revelation knowledge of God’s Word. With the Join the Journey App, I can listen to God’s Word being read (so easy and fulfilling) and/or follow along as needed while listening ( when I need to concentrate). I also like to read the Dig Deeper write-ups. I am growing so much in the Word! Then, I click the Podcast and get “dessert”! The Podcast brings it all in by answering many of my questions and giving me answers to questions I never thought of. The Join the Journey app is the best app I have found! I truly am in “hog heaven” getting my daily Bread!

I love listening to the podcast daily (except Sundays) and appreciate the insight provided in each episode. Emma is an amazing host & I love getting to hear from so many different people in our body who join as guests. I especially loved Wes Butler’s takeover with the Care Team ministries & other themed guests like the worship team & Watermark Health.

This podcast and church have been such a blessing in my life. The way we have been walking through the Bible in a year makes scripture feel approachable and consistent. It’s helped me stay grounded, learn new insights, and develop a steady rhythm of spending time in the word. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to grow in their faith one day at a time!

Helps me so much when reading the Bible!!!!

This podcast has allowed to me dive into a deeper relationship with Jesus. The Bible is not always something I understand fully until I hear an application and explanation & this helps so much. It will truly be an encouragement to you and whoever listens alongside you. :))

I really enjoy how this app helps make the Bible applicable to our lives today, and sometimes even gives background info to help me further understand the reading.

I’m enjoying reading the Bible with watermark. The podcast really helps to reinforce what I’m reading and learning, and also illuminates things I miss.

The Join The Journey podcast has quite literally been life changing! After I read my Bible, I listen to the podcast and gain greater perspective on what I read. Everyone speaking has a love for God that is admirable and like mine, STRONG. It’s an amazing podcast!!! 10 stars!

Great layout and connection with modern problems

As I get ready each day, this podcast leaves me filled with joy and encouragement! I am learning something new each and every day.

I had been following along all this time, Loving the app! Then something happened, when I opened the app the only thing I could see was the verse of the day. While frustrated and troubleshooting, I followed along on my laptop for this past week. Only to realize what would happen if I deleted the app and downloaded it again. It worked wonderfully, and I was happily back to enjoying the app again!

Shortly into this new year, the app started showing me only the January 1 tab/link for reading. Then the app wouldn’t open at all, just a white screen. Since that problem was fixed I can still only see Jan 1 to select. Is it only my phone, or is this happening for everyone?

I love the depth the podcast adds to the passage. The context and questions are helpful every day.

Great teaching, always with freshness and creativity with guest interviews, and the timing easily fits into full schedules we all have!

Really love the questions 😊they make you go ummm!

The perfect way to kick off my day!

I am blessed by this study of God’s - 2025 going through the entire Bible. The thoughts, questions, and related references are so informative and useful. So good! Thank you Watermark and Emma!

I am enjoying and learning so much!! Thank you.

A really helpful resource to dive deeper into the daily scripture reading. Thank you JTJ team!

Fantastic resource, so well done, and much appreciated to help on our walks with Christ.

This is such a great resource. It has become part of my daily life.

I listen to this on my daily commute! It brightens my day! Praise God for His work through you all!

Awesome podcast to help frame and enhance your time with the Lord

If you’re looking for a podcast that is easy to follow to start reading the Bible and learn about God , this is the one!

I look forward to starting my morning every day with God’s word and this insightful teaching. Thank you!

This is such a great complement to the daily Join the Journey devotionals. I love that it gives me a chance to get to know the people from Watermark, while giving me greater insight into each passage. So glad this has become a part of my daily devotional experience!

such a encouraging podcast to listen to everyday!!!💖

I have been reading and listening to Join the Journey for years. I am thankful for this podcast and the teaching of the word from it.

If you’re looking for supplemental info, a companion podcast or motivation and encouragement to start walking through the Bible, look no further. This podcast along with the JTJ app have been excellent resources providing nothing but scripturally sound teaching. I really enjoy hearing from the WM members they have on as guest speakers as well as some of the elders occasionally 👌

I love that this daily summary is done by the members of the church. So blessed by the others of this body. It is a great way to get a daily dose of the scripture that is needed with perspective of others going through the word

Never disappoints! Always glean something new from the perspective of others. If you live in Dallas and are searching for a church home, I highly recommend Watermark! I was a member there for years until we moved outside of Dallas. Love that Church and their emphasis on community and the Bible!

Such a great podcast! Me and my family love listening to all our great insights!

An awesome ministry to grow closer & intimate with the Lord through his Word!

I love having a daily, quick devo like JTJ. Getting into the word every day and hearing intelligent people talk about it on this podcast has given me a structure in my Bible reading life.

JTJ is such a great Podcast!! I love hearing the different perspectives from fellow sojourners. I learn something new or an interesting tidbit to put in my pocket to think on. Continually walk away with how good our God is! So grateful to WM and Emma for providing this resource.

This is my favorite podcast! As a mom of young kids it can be really hard to be in my bible daily but it’s been so much more doable with join the journey and the podcast! Praising God and thanking watermark for this resource!

For someone knew to reading the Bible, it’s a great way to understand the theme or message. I appreciate the real life examples and applications.

I love reading the Scripture each morning and then hearing y’all chat about it more in depth while I pack my kids’ lunches and make breakfast for my family.

Such an easy way to keep up with a reading plan and get a quick (or more in depth) study of what you read. Been loving Proverbs and Ecclesiastes! Thanks WM team!

I enjoy this podcast so much! It helps me deepen my faith! Thank you for your work JTJ team!

Love listening everyday and getting into the word

Great content

So very well done. Continually impressed by the hosts and the quality of the production. Bravo JTJ.

Emma and crew consistently break down God’s word in a way that helps people’s hearts draw near to God. So thankful for this podcast!

Thank you so much for always speaking truth and encouraging others on your podcast. It is truly a blessing to hear y’all every morning as it starts my day off right and points me to Christ!

It’s a great way to start your day!

I love listening to hear how God is speaking to others through the same passage of Scripture. It helps me feel more connected to our church body as we read the selected passage for the day and then hear from Emma and different guests. I love getting more insight into the Scriptures, and I also appreciate hearing all the mini-testimonies of how the various guests came to know the Lord! God is always at work! Thank you for this podcast!
