In this episode, Jill talks about how joy can exist even in the midst of great sorrow. After the loss of a child, we may feel that joy is something we will never experience again ... and it can certainly be elusive. But when we understand what true joy is ... that it's not based in our circumstances but rather in the person of Jesus Christ ... that makes all the difference. And when we see that its actually biblical for joy and sorrow to co-exist, it frees us to experience both.
