Carroll reminds us that joy is not just a Christmas carol — it’s a fruit of the Spirit meant to live in our homes. Rooted in Nehemiah 8:10, this episode explores how joy doesn’t require perfect moments, perfect families, or perfect conditions. Joy shows up in laughter, connection, and God’s presence — even in imperfect, everyday moments.
