Episode Synopsis

248 | Foster Joy and Happiness in Your LifeRejoice! We're back for a new season with "Happy Days Ahead"! First up, we're untangling the relationship between joy and happiness. Is it okay for Christians to just be happy, or is happiness a shallow goal we should avoid? How can joy be a choice we make, yet also a fruit of the Spirit we receive? And what does it mean to "abide in the vine" to find the full joy that Jesus promises — the kind that can coexist with sadness? Join us as we explore appreciating happiness while building a life on unshakable joy!The Big Idea: We can appreciate happiness as a gift, but we must foster joy to carry us through.This Week's Challenge: This week, instead of chasing a feeling of joy, abide in Christ and gratefully notice his blessings throughout your day.Show NotesWatch Episode 248 (VIDEO)More Geek, More Joy!
