Episode Synopsis

Joy is an emotion – psychologists list it as one of the six basic innate human emotions. But it’s different from happiness. Happiness is based on what’s happening around you – and joy is based on what’s happening within you. Joy is inner contentment. Joy is a peace and satisfaction and inner delight. Very few of us ever truly get to a place in life where we experience joy; it's so elusive. Actually, it’s our pursuit of happiness that so often keeps us from experiencing joy. We want to be happy! But God wants us to have something that supersedes happiness. God wants us to have joy. And Paul writes to tell us how to have joy.
