EPISODE 27 WHEN HAPPINESS FADES, JOY REMAINS.

from OnePastor · host Donnie Lafferty

Life is full of ups and downs — and sometimes, it feels like more downs than ups. We chase happiness, but it slips through our fingers. The Bible never promises constant happiness — it promises something deeper. In this episode, Donnie opens up about the difference between happiness and true, lasting joy, and how God uses even sorrow to shape a peace the world can’t steal.With Scripture, real talk, and personal reflection, Donnie explores why joy isn’t a mood — it’s a miracle. He looks at what it means to live with both pain and praise, to grieve yet still trust, and to find that quiet strength that holds steady when everything else falls apart.Teaser Questions:What if joy isn’t something you feel — but something you choose?Why does God let our happiness fade at times?Can peace and pain really live in the same heart?What does it look like to live with joy that can’t be shaken, even when life is?This episode is for the believer who’s tired of pretending everything’s okay — and ready to discover that real joy doesn’t depend on how you feel, but on Who you’re anchored to.Contact OnePastorTweet us at @onepastorhealthFollow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/onepastor/Email us at [email protected]: https://www.facebook.com/onepastorhealthSubscribe at https://onepastor.com/onepastor-podcast/Thanks for listening.  Eyes on Jesus.
