Journal Gently is a Christian podcast for introverted women seeking emotional healing, spiritual growth, and God-centered support after grief, trauma, or hard seasons. Here, you'll find a soft place to land—a sacred, unhurried space to journal with God, process your experiences, and take gentle steps toward wholeness. Healing doesn't have to be loud or fast… just intentional and rooted in God's presence. ------ Kari Bartkus is a spiritual director who walks with women who are hurting to help them recognize God's presence in the midst of their pain—specifically through writing and journaling. She has served in children's ministry, youth ministry, adult Bible studies, and small groups, and her greatest passion is bringing Scripture to life in ways that are relatable, gentle, and deeply rooted in God's heart.
