35: How To Have Joy Back In Your Life Again
Episode Summary
After loss, betrayal, or a major life transition, enjoying life again can feel almost impossible. In this episode, Tom and Paul talk honestly about what joy really looks like after everything has fallen apart. This is not about forcing happiness or pretending the pain never happened. It’s about discovering how God gently restores joy through healing, worship, mindset renewal, and learning to live again with purpose.
Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and insights from Starting Over | Life 2.0 With God, this conversation reminds listeners that joy doesn’t return all at once. It comes quietly, moment by moment, as God rebuilds what was broken.
What You’ll Hear
- Why joy feels foreign after deep pain and why that’s normal
- The difference between temporary happiness and biblical joy
- How worship and gratitude help reopen the door to joy
- Why guilt often blocks joy and how to release it
- How daily rhythms and mindset shifts support emotional healing
- Why joy is part of healing, not a reward for being healed
- How helping others can unexpectedly restore your own joy
- The connection between hope, peace, and joy in Scripture
- Why joy doesn’t erase the past but changes how you carry it
- How God restores joy without rushing the healing process
Why You Should Listen
If you’ve survived something painful but feel emotionally flat, disconnected, or unsure whether joy is even possible again, this episode speaks directly to where you are. Tom and Paul don’t offer clichés or quick fixes. They offer real encouragement, grounded in faith and lived experience, for anyone who wants more than survival. This episode helps listeners understand that enjoying life again isn’t a betrayal of their pain. It’s part of God’s restoration.
Why This Episode Matters
Many people rebuild their lives outwardly but remain stuck internally, believing joy is no longer meant for them. This episode challenges that belief with biblical truth, compassion, and hope. It reframes joy as something God desires for His people, even after heartbreak, and shows how joy can return gently, honestly, and without denial. For anyone starting over, this conversation reminds them that God never intended them to just survive life. He created them to live it.
Share this episode with someone who may need a reminder that they’re not alone. Let’s inspire hope and show that with God’s grace, even the most broken seasons can lead to a beautiful new beginning.
