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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
