Can Joy and Sorrow Live Together?

EPISODE 103

When life brings both heartache and unexpected blessings, it can be difficult to know how to hold them at the same time.

In this episode of  Summer Slowdown, we open with 2 Corinthians 6:10 and discover one of the beautiful paradoxes of the Christian life: being "sorrowful, yet always rejoicing."

Through personal stories, Scripture, and the WRAP practice, you'll be encouraged to trust God's faithfulness, find hope in His Word, and discover that joy isn't the absence of sorrow, but the presence of Christ in the midst of it.
