But how do we really find steadfast joy, especially when facing struggles and pain in our lives? And, is there a difference between joy and happiness?

Both are a choice. Happiness can be circumstantial, whereas joy is a characteristic of our spirits. As we transition our focus from what the world offers to what God provides, we learn how to root ourselves in true joy, no matter the storms we face.

In this episode of our “Back to the Basics” series, we remember the importance of joy. Salvation through Jesus is the foundation of steadfast and sustaining joy. When we spend time with Him and are secure in Him, nothing can steal our joy. In His presence is fullness of joy!

We aren’t always going to feel happy, but in Jesus, joy is always ours. He fills us with joy! Happiness is me-centered. Joy is Christ-centered.

Spend time in His Word, in His presence, and in prayer and worship to Him. Practice joy! Complete joy is only found in Jesus. See the joy set before you, no matter the trials you face.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:11 NKJV)

We use the word loosely for many of life’s circumstances. But hope is not a mere wish or “finger-crossing” optimism. It’s a confident, joyful, and certain expectation of our good future based on God’s faithfulness.

Hope is rooted in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the assurance that God will fulfill His promises, acting as an anchor for our soul. In this episode, we identify real-life situations that challenge our hope, and we discover how we can hold on to hope despite these situations.

Persistent life struggles, fear and uncertainty, disappointment and regret, emotional and psychological pain, and information overload are a few areas we target in today’s conversation as we dig into scripture to find genuine answers to help us boldly stand in hope.

No matter the unknowns before us and the pressures of the season, we can confidently cling to the hope we have in God. We can silence the noise, guard our hearts, and feed our faith.

Grab your notebook and pen and join us for today’s conversation!
