Could choosing joy really be up to us?

In today's episode, Richelle Alessi invites us to explore the idea that joy is more than a fleeting feeling, it is a daily choice, even when life feels overwhelming or our circumstances fall short. Together, we'll reflect on James 1:2-3, discuss the difference between happiness and true, rooted joy, and learn how our response to trials can be transformed by understanding who God is.

Gather with our community as we pray for the strength to find joy in every situation and encourage one another to start our day with faith and gratitude. Let's choose joy and walk in it, together.
