They say joy is contagious—so what if you were the carrier?

In this episode of Go, Get a Life, we’re unpacking what it means to choose joy—on purpose. Not when life’s perfect, but right in the middle of the mess. Because joy isn’t a reaction. It’s a choice. A mindset. A ministry. And when you choose it? It multiplies.

This episode is a reminder that your presence sets the tone—and your joy might be the very thing someone else is praying for.

Here’s what we cover:

• What it means to be a “joy carrier” and why your presence matters
• The science behind emotional contagion (and how your energy spreads)
• Why joy doesn’t require perfection—it’s a decision, not a destination
• How to bring light into rooms—without faking, performing, or shrinking
• The spiritual roots of joy (and how scripture calls us to reflect it)
• Practical habits that help you lead with joy daily
• A challenge to intentionally spark light—before the mood strikes

Joy is more than a feeling—it’s a strategy. A way to live, lead, and love from a place of hope.

Dare to Dream. Live with Reckless Faith. Let’s Go, Get a Life.
