How are Christians supposed to be joyful when their circumstances are not? Are we supposed to "fake it til we make it"? Many of us can't access joy on a daily basis because there is simply too much pain and heartache. Over time, it becomes easier to focus on keeping it all together rather than to try to live some spiritual ideal of a life that seems just out of reach. Join your hosts, Katherine and Kirsten, as they debunk the myths and troublesome thinking that have kept us from the joy we were meant to experience each and every day.

Join your hosts, Katherine and Kirsten, as they unpack this sometimes touchy subject and give practical ways to begin receiving feedback and counsel well.
