Joy is one of the most familiar words of the Christmas season, yet many of us enter Advent feeling anything but joyful. In this episode, Scott Sauls explores why joy can seem out of reach and how the Bible offers a deeper, Christ centered joy that can live alongside grief, anxiety, and disappointment. Drawing from Luke 2, John 15, Habakkuk, and the story of blind hymn writer Fanny Crosby, we consider how Jesus meets us in our lowest places and plants a resilient joy that circumstances cannot uproot.
