E175: Joy Rooted in God's Goodness
Too much? Not enough? Exactly the right amount?
How much joy would you say you experience in your life right now?
“Biblical joy and a life of joy comes about when we sense in our nearness to God that he is good and that that will never change. That his goodness and his loving grace toward us is unceasing and it is constant and it is consistent in the midst of life’s ups and downs.”
On this episode of After IV, we revisit our conversation with Jay Kim, pastor and author of Analog Christian: Cultivating Contentment, Resilience, and Wisdom in the Digital Age. Jon and Andy discuss the fleeting nature of social media-triggered happiness, and the route to joy centered and deeply rooted in God's unchanging goodness.
