Living a life filled with joy through the spirit of God is like discovering a wellspring of happiness that never runs dry. When we serve the Lord, we find fulfilment beyond measure. Every act of kindness, every moment of service, brings a deep sense of joy, knowing that we are aligning ourselves with God's purpose for our lives. It is not just about what we do but the attitude with which we do it, knowing that we are spreading love and joy in the world.
In this episode, Troy Bravenboer and I discuss the power of living and doing business with the joy of God’s Spirit in us. Troy Bravenboer is the Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and president of Brave Freight. He previously worked as a Marketing rep at Vivint and attended River Bible Institute.
In the episode, you will understand that trusting in God and living for Him extends beyond the walls of our churches and into every facet of our lives, including our businesses. When we prioritise God in our dealings, we find that doors open, opportunities arise, and success follows. This is not just luck or coincidence but a direct result of God's favour and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The joy of the Lord truly becomes our strength, and inner joy springs forth from a life lived in alignment with the spirit of God.
