Not just a conference, an entire experience!
We launched our first conference all the way back in 2014. It was still the wild west of online teaching and we did something no one else was: we provided a Christian homemaking conference that brought tons of Titus 2 women together to teach and learn together.
For the past decade, our online conferences have stood out of the pack as one of a kind, original, and insanely fun! And now, in 2024 we are shaking up the online space once again by taking these online conferences to the next level.
Prior to this year, we charged a one time fee to attend our online conference. Typically about $60-99 per conference (and we usually host 1-2 conferences per year). The overhead cost of running an online business is astronomical (plus this is my husbands full time job and the only way we can pull off these events is with him at the helm full time).
But this year, it's all about to change. And for the better!
This year, you can join our brand new Recession Resistance Online Conference for just under $11. That's right! $10.39 will give you full access to the conference, just like your $60-99 ticket would in years past.
What's the catch?
Well the catch is, that $10.39 is not just purchasing a ticket to this year's conference, it's actually giving you access to our ENTIRE brand new Joyful Home App/Website Experience.
Okay, so it's not really a catch so much as a HUGE GIANT perk.
Use coupon code: RESISTANCE to get 20% off your Joyful Home App Subscription, making it just $10.39 per month (this early bird offer expires Wednesday October 2nd)!. And hint hint: You can sign up for just one month and then cancel if you don't want to stick around after the conference...but once you see what is in this app, you will definitely want to stick around ;)
Join the Joyful Home App Today! And get full access to the conference 💕

Hi, I'm Jami Balmet if we haven't met already. My husband Jason and I have been running our online business since 2015 (I started my blog way back in 2009)! But in 2015, we took the leap to have Jason quit his corporate job (that was killing him) and come home to be the CEO of our fledgling business.
Throughout the years God has been so kind to allow this small business to be our family's full time income (although the amount of work that goes into running a small business IS staggering 😂), while also growing our family with 8 wonderful children.
We've launched our extremely popular podcasts, hosted 10 years of online conferences, written books, produced audiobooks, and so much more.
Throughout the years, as our interests and the needs of our audience has grown, we spread ourselves thin with many different projects. While it was an exhausting time, the result is hundreds of hours of online training videos, a children's book series about the National Parks, and countless other incredible resources.
We decided it was finally time to simplify this all and take our content creation to the next level. BUT the key piece missing was the technology.
We've had the dream for years about building our own REAL app. But the tech was either beyond us (we are not coders) or it cost a good $30k to get started. This has all changed this year with access to some incredible new technology which has made our dream come true.
The Joyful Home App is the result of more than a decade of hard work producing Biblical, Gospel Centered resources for families. Our emphasis is on thoroughly Biblical resources that are practical and can be put into real action in your home.
Finally you can find absolutely everything we do online all in one place. All of our digital resources will be here (keep checking back because Jason is working hard getting everything uploaded over the next couple of months. New things will be popping up weekly)!
Wait, that's not all!!
You can sign up for less than $11 to join us for the 2024 Recession Resistance Online Conference. The conference will go live October 16-18th and you will get full access to it.
But what about the rest of September and October? How will you wait the time away until the new conference airs? With your Joyful Home App, you can go through all of our past online conferences for FREE!!
We've got several of our more recent past online conferences already on the app. But Jason's working hard all month getting the rest uploaded (and don't worry, there's hundreds of hours of amazing content already there for you to go through)!
Just use coupon code: RESISTANCE to get 20% off your app subscription! This applies to the monthly subscription as well as the annual subscription (which already includes 2 free months)!
You can totally just join for this next month and then cancel before it renews in 30 days ❤️ You are never locked into anything with the app!
Join us today - Here's what you get:
- Access to the full online conference October 16-18th
- A printable conference notebook to put your new plans into immediate action!
- A community of like minded women all going through this conference together!
- PLUS access to the ENTIRE Joyful Home App library which contains 14 past online conferences, courses, audiobooks, and so much more!
And you get ALL of this with your app subscription! Sign up by Wednesday October 2nd for 20% off the app! Use coupon code: RESISTANCE at checkout!

With the conference, you are also going to get this 4 part How to Make Kombucha Series! You can dive into it right away on the App.
Learn how to brew kombucha with Jami Balmet
This has been one of my MOST requested topics. I love brewing Kombucha and Jun Tea (we will cover what that is). And in this mini course, I teach you everything you need to know to make your own kombucha including: sourcing the tea and scoby, getting started, flavorings and second ferment, and more!
Lesson #1: Getting Started Brewing Kombucha 101!
Are you ready to brew Kombucha? Are you overwhelmed with the basics? Do you want to know the difference between kombucha and Jun tea? This first lesson covers all of that and more.
Lesson #2: Gathering All the Tools You'll Need
The quality of the tea you use to brew kombucha matters and you'll need just a couple of extra things like a glass ajar and a scoby. Thankfully, it's very easy to pull together what you need to make kombucha (and very inexpensive)! In this lesson, Jami shares her favorite place to buy tea and tools for kombucha!
Lesson #3: Starting your scoby
Now it's time to dive in and start your own kombucha. This begins with starting your scoby. What is a scoby, how do you get it started and how do you keep it alive? It's all way more doable and simple than you think. In this lesson, Jami walks you through it all!
Lesson #4: Flavoring your kombucha
This is the final stage in your kombucha process and it's the most rewarding! We are going to learn what a second ferment is and how to flavor your kombucha. Once you work through this lesson, you'll be able to brew kombucha for years to come!
