Cheer UP! Podcast

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.

As dawn breaks and the coffee brews, Kara R. Hunt and Cheri Swalwell are already deep in conversation, exploring how the world’s issues might just be a grand-scale sibling spat. Our whimsical musings suggest that maybe, just maybe, a simple snack and a nap could do the trick for global peace, drawing inspiration from the refreshment Elijah found in the biblical narrative. We invite you into our light-hearted banter that seamlessly weaves through spirituality, the comfort found in the changing seasons, and the notion that our shared humanity might hold the key to understanding each other a little better.
Venture with us as we traverse the lives of Abraham and Sarah, a couple whose story is bound by promises, patience, and faith. Their narrative, stretching from Genesis 12 through Genesis 25, is a rich tapestry highlighting the imperfections of God's chosen and the beauty that unfolds when divine timing takes the lead. It's a journey that speaks to the heart of every listener who has ever waited for a promise to be fulfilled or has doubted their place in God's plan. Through their episodes in Egypt and their long-awaited childbirth, we reflect on the ways fear and frailty are part of our spiritual growth.
We wrap up with an eye towards the horizon, teasing the tale of Isaac and Rebecca for our next episode. The generational dance of challenges and blessings beckons us to ponder the legacies we inherit and the stories we continue. As we close this chapter, we leave you with the reminder that the journey of faith is marked by endurance and 'holy fear'—a reverence for the divine that empowers us to stand steadfast amid life's storms. So, grab a cozy blanket and your favorite morning beverage, and join us for an episode that promises to stir your soul and tickle your funny bone with a divine perspective on the everyday.
