Start the Year in Joy: Anchored in Christ, Not Circumstance

Hosts Kathie and Spring explore what biblical joy really is — a gift rooted in God’s presence, hope, and the Holy Spirit. They name key scriptures (Psalm 16:11, Nehemiah 8:10, John 15:11, Romans 15:13, James 1:2–3, Galatians 5:22–23) and connect them to songs that reinforce joy in both calm and chaos. The episode offers simple, practical steps to start the year with joy: slow down, declare scripture each morning, invite Jesus’ joy, anchor in hope, create daily joy rhythms (gratitude, journaling, memorizing verses), and intentionally remove what’s covering your joy.
