In this episode, we explore joy not as a fleeting emotion but as a deep, deliberate practice. Drawing from the wisdom of Henri Nouwen, we consider his profound insight:
“Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.”
What does it mean to choose joy in a world marked by pressure, grief, and noise? And how might Christian spiritual formation help us recover joy—not as escape, but as resistance, hope, and trust in God's goodness?
