Episode 4: Where Does Joy Come From?

Where Does Joy Come From? Where does joy come from when life gives us every reason to lose it? Is joy simply a personality trait, or can it be cultivated during suffering? This conversation with Rene Schlaepfer explores joy as a way of seeing, shaped by the story we tell ourselves about God, ourselves, and the future. Rather than denying pain or pretending circumstances are easy, joy grows from a deeper confidence in God’s love and the hope we have in Christ. This episode invites us to look beyond our circumstances and consider what is shaping our inner narrative, and whether the good news of God’s grace is becoming more deeply rooted within us.
