076 - The Top 3 Joy Killers

Twenty-seven percent of Americans said they couldn’t remember what it meant to be truly happy (Oracle, 2022). Life has hit a lot of us by storm. The world-wide shortages, conspiracies, and epidemics have left so many fearful and isolated. Our pastor shared this weekend that 1/3 of Christians haven’t returned to church since the pandemic. I have yet to meet someone who has said, “I’m good. I have all the joy I need.” The world needs more joy. I need more joy. You need more joy. The truth is, joy is a weapon that God has given us to live on this earth. It is a fruit of our relationship with the Holy Spirit. There is no wonder why it is attacked and satan tries to steal our joy. Today I’m talking about the top three joy killers. Listen in to learn: How psychology and the bible agree on joy The lifestyle that supports happiness What is trying to steal your joy Favorite Quote: “Happiness is actually a skill that can be developed.” – Tiffany Jo Baker Key Verses: “…for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” – Nehemiah 8:10 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” – Galatians 5:22-23 “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” - Hebrews 10:24-25 Ephesians 4:31-32 * Is it time to walk out and take the next right step in what you've been hearing about in this podcast?
