The Hyssongs are taking another leap of faith as Joy for the Journey with Dell Hyssong joins the GEB TV Network family of programs beginning Saturday, October 14, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern and on Sunday, October 15, 2023, at 5:30 p.m. Eastern. GEB is found on DIRECTV channel 363.

Joy for the Journey began as a Facebook video post during the 2020 pandemic. The Hyssongs felt the need to put a quick message out on Facebook to encourage their supporters. What they intended as a one time only message spiraled into a weekly Facebook event. “I read some scripture,” Dell recounted, “and told them there was hope – just look to the Lord. So many people watched that Facebook message, we thought this can’t be a one time thing; we had to keep doing it. It was incredible how many were watching it every week.”

Richard Hyssong, Dell’s son and producer of Joy for the Journey, added, “So we kept on doing it week after week. And even though it felt like we needed to be encouraged, we knew we needed to be an encouragement to other people. We serve such a mighty and powerful God. And we started to hear from neighbors and folks who were not going to church who were literally watching those devotions every week.”

 

In February of 2021, that transitioned into a television show, Joy For the Journey, which began airing on the Now Television Network. After saying no three times, they stepped out in faith with nothing but a Facebook message series. “You could see God putting the right people in our path. We started seeing God open doors we could have never opened for ourselves,” Richard stated.

Joy for the Journey also began airing on Sirius XM 131 Family Talk in June of 2021 and has now expanded to include multiple networks, most notably GEB. “I am excited to join the GEB family. It is my desire to share the Word and give practical illustrations that can be applied to people’s everyday lives,” Dell explained.

“From the moment Dell and Richard talked to me about their idea, I was excited and felt that I needed to be a part of this team,” states Rob Patz, CEO of Coastal Media. “I’ve been thrilled to represent Joy for the Journey in their television growth. I truly believe that this is just the beginning of a great God expansion for their ministry.”
