In this episode of The Debbie Chavez Show, hosts Sarah and Debbie Chavez dive into the art of finding and keeping joy, even when life feels overwhelming. They start by acknowledging that everyone, including themselves, sometimes struggles with maintaining a joyful spirit.
Sarah shares a personal story about a recent bout of melancholy, emphasising that even without obvious reasons, feelings of sadness can creep in. The key takeaway? Joy is not just an emotion but a choice influenced by one's relationship with Jesus Christ and gratitude towards God. The episode explores various Bible verses that highlight the importance of joy as a fruit of the Holy Spirit. Debbie discusses how focusing on serving God and others can help replenish your joy reserves.
From small acts of kindness to engaging in 'kingdom work', these actions can transform your outlook and fill your heart with joy. They also talk about the pitfalls that can drain joy, such as comparing yourself to others or consuming negative media. The hosts encourage listeners to pivot their focus towards what is good, true, and eternal, rather than dwelling on past hurts or current challenges.

By the end of the episode, you'll feel inspired to weed out the 'joy stealers' in your life and embrace a more joyful existence, regardless of your circumstances. Ready to reclaim your joy?
