Why do so many of us chase happiness and still feel empty? In this powerful message, Rev. Martin Preston explores the crucial difference between happiness (externally triggered and short-lived) and joy (cultivated within and steady). You’ll hear stories—from “Happy, Happy, Happy” to George Mallory’s Everest quest—plus practical spiritual tools you can use today.
Rev. Martin shares 10 Ways to Experience Joy now: 10) Do what brings you joy 9) Count your blessings (gratitude) 8) Give up gloom & negativity 7) Affirm joy 6) Receive joy (accept the gift) 5) Let it be (release & allow) 4) Be childlike (wonder) 3) Bless life 2) Give joy (share yourself)

Expect joy (“the emotion excited by the expectancy of good” — Science of Mind)
You’ll also enjoy a guided affirmative prayer—grounded in Ernest Holmes’ teaching—inviting peace, faith, and right order in every area of life. Joy isn’t “someday.” Joy is now.
