Are you longing for more joy in your everyday life? In this episode of Generate Joy in Midlife, we turn to John 15 where Jesus says, “Abide in me…and my joy may be in you, and your joy may be full.”
We’ll explore what it means to truly abide in Christ and why this connection is the key to a joy-filled life—even in the midst of midlife struggles, disappointments, and transitions. You’ll discover how pruning seasons can actually produce more fruit, how neuroscience confirms the need for deep connection, and how you can practically remain rooted in God’s love throughout your week.
Whether you’re feeling weary, disconnected, or simply hungry for more of God’s presence, this episode will remind you that joy isn’t found in striving—it’s found in abiding.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- The powerful truth of John 15 and what it means to abide in Christ
- Why pruning in life is painful but ultimately leads to more fruit and joy
- How your brain is wired for connection and how that relates to abiding in Jesus
- Practical ways to cultivate daily rhythms of abiding, even in the cracks of a busy day
