Count It All JOY

Welcome back To The Table. Here we are on Christmas Eve talking about JOY. Don’t worry, this isn’t an episode where we talk about the “most magical season of the year” and how perfectly our plans are unfolding…more like how things seem to be spiraling out of control 🫠 We’ll chat about where the joy comes from, what we have to do to get it, and plenty more joyful mentions. We hope this episode encourages you as you bake those last few cookies or wrap the last few presents. - Show Notes🗒️- John 1:12 - For from His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.
