Choosing Joy - Finding God’s Goodness
from God’s Plan Hosted by Stefanie Benitez Polanco
This episode teaches that joy isn’t a mood — it’s a strength God gives us to keep going even when life feels messy. Stefanie explains that joy often shows up in small moments: a laugh, a song, a peaceful pause, or a friend checking in. These little reminders shift our perspective and help us see God’s goodness in places we didn’t expect. She shares Pastor Andrew Gard’s story about being stuck on a roof, afraid to step down without feeling the rung — a picture of how we often wait for certainty before trusting God. Joy helps us move anyway. When we notice God’s goodness, our faith grows, and when our faith grows, our joy grows. Stefanie encourages listeners to look for one real moment of joy each day, reminding them that joy becomes stronger the more we notice it. She closes by inviting everyone to share what God is showing them and to keep choosing joy as their strength.
