Ep 8: A Girl & Joy vs. Worldly Happiness

In this episode of the podcast, we’re going to dive into the topic of joy vs. worldly happiness.
We know that God's joy looks to the eternal, endures through hardships, and comes unconditionally. In this episode, you'll learn all about what Biblical joy looks like and how we are given this gift, from God, as we follow Christ.
That's not to say that our Christian walk won't have trials & suffering, but we are to have joy in the midst of them because our suffering brings us closer to Christ.
A few things you can expect: 

• Biblical references throughout  
• A description of biblical joy 
• A brief look at worldly happiness 
• The attributes of biblical joy 
• and much more! 

I pray that you'll give it a listen and be open to what the Holy Spirit may be trying to tell you through it.  Whether you're a new Christ-follower or you're not really sure about this whole thing, I think you'll learn something new today.
