Ep 044 | Count It All Joy

Recovery is a delicate balance. The balance of good and bad. We want to focus on the good but also remember the bad. We can't focus on just one thing and neglect it's opposite. Likewise, we must celebrate the ups but don’t forget to also embrace the downs of your recovery journey. Even the bad days still have lessons to offer us. Join us on this episode of Unashamed Recovery as Josh, Drew, and Palmer sit down and talk about the importances of why having Joy that is rooted in Christ as the cornerstone of our recovery process and not shallow happiness. The guys break down what is biblical joy and why it is not the same as happiness which is purely circumstantial. Mountain top experiences are built in the trials of the valley and it is there that we learn to count it all joy! In todays episode we are looking at James 1:2-4 : "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
