Listen "JOY | Fruit of the Spirit Series "
Episode Synopsis
Today we continue our Fruit of the Spirit study, by taking one characteristic at a time & going in depth on what it looks like to live out that aspect intentionally. And this week, we chat all about JOY!
First off, joy is more than happiness. As I have heard it described before, happiness happens to you. It is circumstantial and can change at the drop of a hat. In contrast to that, joy is everlasting. It isn’t dependent upon what is happening around you or what circumstance you find yourself in. Joy is rooted in what God has done & what He has promised that He will do. & Joy isn’t always accompanied by a smile - I have found that joy is connected to the confidence that we have in God – when we fearlessly believe that what He says is true – then joy naturally flows from that posture of heart because we can’t help but know that He will provide. Listen to learn more about how we can embody joy in our day to day lives!
Scripture read during this episode: Galatians 5:22-23 | Psalm 16:5-11 | John 10:10 | Daniel 3 | Nehemiah 8:10 -- Dig deeper & spend some intentional time this week reading through these slowly! Take notes, ask questions, & pray that God will mold you to love how He does!
