45: The Joy of The Lord

As Christmas steadily approaches, you might find yourself feeling anything but joy. And maybe in search of that feeling, you've found yourself over doing it all and caught up in the busy factor of this season. But let me remind you, our level of joy will not come from how many presents we have under the tree, how festive our house is decorated, how many Christmas events we go to, whether we sent out Christmas cards or not or how our holiday itself turns out.

REAL, lasting joy comes from God alone. This season and every season, joy is found in God and because of His perfect work, not ours. In this episode we break down what the joy of the Lord means and why making  it a priority is a must.
