In this keynote from the Proximity Conference 2026, Sam Ward explores the joy at the heart of God's plan of salvation. Reflecting on Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane and the words of Hebrews 12, Sam shows how the joy set before Christ strengthened Him to endure the cross. This rich and compelling message reminds us that joy is rooted in God's redemptive purposes and invites us to join in His mission to reach the lost.
