Some of us are limping into December, wondering how we’re supposed to sing about joy when this year has felt like loss, anxiety, or just straight survival mode. Others of us are actually… good. We like our job, we like our people, we’re low-key excited about the holidays. But whether you’re barely hanging on or genuinely thriving, this Advent episode is for you.

In Week Three of our Advent series, Pastor Tim unpacks what the Bible means by “good news of great joy”—a joy that isn’t fragile like a mood, but rooted in a Savior who stepped into a broken world on purpose. We’ll talk about the difference between happiness and joy, why joy is for the hurting and the happy, and how to practice a joy that doesn’t depend on your season going according to your script.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for not being okay or guilty for actually being okay this conversation will help you breathe. Jesus doesn’t just offer a holiday vibe; He offers a joy no one can take away.
