The Reality Is
Restoring Joy
In this episode, Pastors Joey and Richard explore the key reasons why many believers struggle to experience the joy God intends for them. They identify several "joy killers," including unresolved conflict, difficult relationships, misplaced priorities, and a lack of involvement in others’ lives for the sake of the gospel. Drawing from biblical passages like Ephesians 4:31-32 and Romans 12:18, they offer practical, faith-based steps to resolve conflict, forgive others, and refocus on God’s priorities. They also reflect on the beauty of God’s creation, using it as a metaphor for how God brings beauty even in difficult circumstances. The pastors encourage listeners to seek true joy through loving God, loving others, and living with an eternal perspective.
