Often God calls us to trust Him as we step into an unknown future. Like Jesus we can enter into difficult and uncertain circumstances knowing that the hope of resurrection lies beyond death and suffering.

In this episode we talk about the importance of taking a posture of celebration in a world that is increasingly cynical, negative, and pessimistic. We look at how the pursuit of happiness in our society has increasingly become feelings driven. If we are not feeling good then we assume something must be wrong with us. God wants to help us resist the cynicism and negativity by intentionally celebrating who God is and what God is doing in our lives and world. Jesus' coming has ushered in an age of God's favor and redemption.
