joy talk
lenguaje de gozo O conducta de gozo


Explanation:
I´m answering this question as a pastor with two seminary degrees, not as a native speaker of Spanish. The difficulty is in how to understand "talk" in this context. The idea is not "charla", "habla" or anything like that. "Talk" in this context refers to the way that WHAT SOMEBODY SAYS REFLECTS THEIR LIFESTYLE. "Conversación" is OK, if by that you mean the old fashioned sense of "lifestyle."
CONDUCTA de gozo also works, especially as you compare the English KJV Bible to Reina Valera 1960 in 1 Peter 3:2, 15; 2 Peter 3:11

Luisa Ramos is right if "Joy Talk" refers only to activity done during the class. However, if the participants are to learn to use their own form of "joy talk," then "lenguaje" works better as a versatile term to describe both the class and the activity of the individual.

Example sentence(s):
  • While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 1 Pt 3:2
  • considerando vuestra conducta casta y respetuosa.

agree  Luisa Ramos, CT: But they are "classes". / Tienes razón, no lo invalida y desde ese punto de vista tu sugerencia es perfecta.

  -> Good point, but I don´t think that invalidates "lenguaje de gozo" as an answer.
