Ep72. Defiant Joy with Stasi Eldredge

Coffee Talk Topic: Defiant Joy This episode's coffee talk topic explores the meaning of Defiant Joy as explained by Author, Stasi Eldredge. Stasi says that “joy has nothing to do with happiness because joy is a completely different substance than happiness. Joy is the fruit of the spirit, and God calls us to rejoice, always. So if we’re just singing and skipping around the garden all day, then we're living in denial over the pain that sometimes comes to our lives.” Host Brandee Nielsen says "I am so excited for you to hear the rest of what Stasi has to say! Be sure to fetch a pen and notepad because there are some incredible, quotable nuggets of wisdom offered by Stacy that you do not want to miss! So don’t click away from our stream, but do grab yourself a cup of Joe, or whatever your favorite beverage, while we learn more about the power, hope, and purpose of Christ in everyday life on today’s episode.
