Chris Coursey, author of The Joy Switch is with Perry and Shawna today.  Chris helps us better understand why sometimes we feel more relational than others:  It’s like we have a switch in our brain.  When The Joy Switch is on, we’re happy to be with each other.  When it’s OFF, we’re not: We’re grumpy, disconnected, we feel like enemies.  The good news is that we can learn to turn the JOY switch on and thrive in our relationships!  First, Chris shares about a married couple that felt only pain being around each other and even thinking about each other caused pain.  We talk about the tools they learned to find joy again in marriage.  Then, Chris’s friend Mason confronted Chris one morning in anger.  Find out how Chris was able to move Mason from enemy to friend in just a few minutes and how you can do the same.  Next, find out how to move *yourself* from enemy mode to relationship mode.  Then, Chris used to see God as angry with him.  The Joy Switch helped Chris see God as he really is:  The Father running to embrace him!  Next a listener, Josh, shares how breaking his leg helped him see that God loves him apart from his performance.  Next Chris shares about his friends Tim and Janet who only felt pain being around each other and how learning The Joy Switch tools restored their love.  Then, The Joy Switch can help us experience God’s love.  And finally a story of a woman who felt abandoned by Jesus for forty years and how God used Chris to help her connect with the love God had always had for her.
