Joy! - Week 3
Often, during the Christmas Season, we are surrounded by those we love the most. And there’s something beautiful about that. But. If love is the highest Christian ethic, and loving everyone is the way that CHrist loved, then that’s a good deal more difficult. Jay Kim speaks about two ends of the spectrum of people who are challenging to love: one because it’s easy to forget about them (namely, the global poor and those in need) and the other because we don’t WANT to love them (our enemies).
Comparison has, perhaps, never been easier In our age of digital apps that allow us to monitor and compare our lives to other people 24/7. But comparison usually doesn’t lead to joy - it robs us both when we compare downward to make ourselves feel better and it robs us when we compare upwards, neglecting to think about the gifts that God has given to us. We explore the way out of this joy-stealing comparison trap and how to cultivate resilient joy.
