Life is hard. Work piles up. Responsibilities never end. And if we're not careful, we slip into survival mode—just grinding through, waiting for the next break. Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Today, we're looking at Ecclesiastes 8:15: And I commend joy, for man has nothing better under the sun but to eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun. — Ecclesiastes 8:15 He says, “I commend joy.” That's strong language. He's not just suggesting joy as a nice option—he's urging it. Why? Because in this broken world, we don't control much. Work will always be work. Life will have struggles. But joy? That's something we can choose. Solomon reminds us that eating, drinking, and enjoying life aren't just distractions—they're gifts from God. They fuel us through the toil. They remind us that even in the hard grind of life, God has given us good things. So today, stop waiting for the perfect moment to enjoy life. Laugh a little. Eat with gratitude. Find joy in the little things. Because God is present in them. #ChooseJoy, #BiblicalWisdom, #DailyFaith ASK THIS: What small joys has God placed in your life today? How can you shift your mindset from survival mode to joy? Why do you think Solomon commands joy rather than just suggests it? What's one way you can incorporate gratitude into your daily routine? DO THIS: Be intentional about finding joy today—whether it's a meal, a conversation, or a moment of laughter. Acknowledge it as God's gift. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to see and embrace the joy You have placed in my life. Even in the busyness and struggles, remind me to rejoice in Your gifts. Amen. PLAY THIS: Joy In The Morning.

  There's something magnetic about people who follow joy like it's their inner compass. Anka is one of those people, and when we connected (very recently), I knew this was a conversation I wanted to have. In this episode, I chat with Anka, an ocean swimmer, traveller and German TV reporter who splits her time between Europe and Perth. We talk about what happens when you stop playing it safe and start saying yes to the things that light you up. Inside this conversation: How Anka found instant community through ocean swimming Growing up in rainy Germany and how it shaped her resilience Creating a life that follows the seasons Why you don't need the full plan before you take the leap The joy of movement, connection and shared coffees after a swim A shared love of cookbooks, culture and pomegranates And why “goodbye” isn't in Anka's vocab If you're craving adventure, connection, or just know you need ‘something different', this episode will give you that nudge to trust your curiosity and choose joy - even when it makes no sense on paper. Listen to the end to find out how to dissect a pomegranate (life hack included). And if you're in Perth and want to check out ocean swimming, the Pod Squad meet every day at North Cottesloe near sunrise (DM me for the deets).

In this episode, Hannah is joined by Sophie Cliff, also known as the Joyful Coach. Sophie talks through her journey of leaving her corporate career to become a coach focused on helping people find more joy in everyday life. After experiencing a personal loss, Sophie turned to positive psychology for healing, eventually returning to university to pursue a master's degree. Since then, she has made it her mission to help others focus on joy, even in challenging times. She discusses how workplace culture can impact individual happiness and why it's crucial to integrate joy into both our personal and professional lives. Sophie also dives into the importance of self-care (especially for women who often put others first), the power of gratitude, and how creating space for spontaneity can lead to a more joyful life. Hannah OBVIOUSLY loves all of Sophie's insights, being a fellow positive psychology advocate herself and shares some of her own anecdotes and learnings. Together, they stress the importance of experiencing the full range of emotions and avoiding toxic positivity. Emotional balance is about embracing both the good and the bad, while also modeling joy for future generations. Throughout the conversation, Sophie shares insights on how we can challenge societal pressures, prioritise joy, and create more fulfilling lives.Sophie's journey and work are super inspiring and she is a great role model for mothers and women juggling the projected social pressures of life. Whether you're seeking to lighten your load, find ways to step up your self-care or inject more joy in your work and life, this episode will leave you feeling seen and inspired! You can connect with Sophie on Instagram @Sophiecliff and find her website https://sophiecliff.com/ You can also purchase her book Choose Joy here and her second book The Hustle Cure here - hope you enjoy! This series is sponsored by the magical Cosmic Dealer and you can get 10% off all of their delicious products and wellness goodies using the code wholenesswithhannah - live that cosmic life!You can follow the podcast on instagram at @wholenesswithhannah and email us at podcast@wholenesswithhannah.com and Hannah's website is www.wholeofhannah.com

Pastor Rory Eldridge explains how Paul's steadfast joy in the midst of imprisonment reminds us that true, lasting joy comes from a deep relationship with Christ rather than from the fleeting nature of worldly happiness. His message encourages believers to maintain a spirit of rejoicing regardless of life's hardships, viewing every circumstance as an opportunity to trust in God's greater plan.

· Philippians 4:4 – Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again, Rejoice!· Why should I choose joy?· John 14:1-4 - Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”· Heaven is living in the presence of God.· Heaven is not just a place to go when you die; it is a Kingdom you experience as you follow Jesus.· Isaiah 65: 17For behold, I am the creator of new heavens and a new earth;And the previous things will not be remembered and will come upon the heart.18So then, rejoice and be excited forever for what I create!For behold, I am the creator of a rejoicing Jerusalem and her people of joy!19And I will be excited with Jerusalem and I will rejoice with my people;And in her will not be heard again weeping or crying.· Revelation 21:1-4 - Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from theireyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”· If you do not want a relationship with God on earth, you will not be comfortable in heaven.· We need to live to get ready for heaven.· Do you hate?· Do you lust?· Do you treat marriage as sacred?· Are you trustworthy?· Do you let go of hurt and bitterness?· Do you love your enemies?· Are you generous?· Are you developing a conversational relationship with God?· Do you trust God with your worries and anxieties?· Do you judge others?· Are you building your life on Jesus or on your own wisdom?· 19And I will be excited with Jerusalem and I will rejoice with my people…· Following Jesus means doing life with God right now.· Church is to be a preview of heaven.· Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.· The more the church looks like heaven, the more people want to know what makes us that way.· When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be.· When we all see Jesus, we will sing and shout the victory.LIFE GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONSStarter: Have you ever known someone who lived like they were already in heaven? What were they like?Discussion:1. Read Isaiah 65:17-192. Read Revelation 21:1-43. What are the parallels you see between these two passages, written over 600 years apart?4. A new heaven and a new earth refers to God creating a new reality. What would you like to see in God's new reality?5. What do you think it means when the passages refer to “the previous/former things?” How does it change how we live if no longer let “the previous things” lay on our heart?6. In the Isaiah passage, God is described as “excited” and “rejoicing.” What picture does your mind paint? What does God look like when he is rejoicing?7. The message referred to a “getting ready for heaven” and using the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount as a guide. How did you feel when these questions were asked? Which one pricked your heart most?8. In your opinion, what could we do to make our church more like heaven?

Happiness, it turns out, comes down to a science — even though what makes each of us happy can vary widely. Host Cristina Quinn talks to happiness scientist Emiliana Simon-Thomas, science director at UC-Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, about exactly what makes us happy and how much our sense of joy is within our control. Drawing from the science of happiness, Emiliana explains that happiness isn't about chasing fleeting positive emotions, but rather about fostering an overarching sense of contentment, belonging and resilience. She also lays out how much of happiness is influenced by genetics, external circumstances and the choices we make.This course reminds us that happiness isn't out of reach — it's something we can cultivate every day. Emiliana and her colleagues at the Greater Good Science Center have been collecting data on happiness through the Big Joy Project, a seven-day online study where participants are assigned a micro-act of joy every day. Learn more about the project here. For some extra happiness tips, read about trying new things for joy and embracing “joy snacks.”Subscribe to The Washington Post or connect your subscription in Apple Podcasts.To hear more, check out “Try This” wherever you listen to podcasts.

  With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   In This Episode:  This year has flown by, and as we bid farewell to 2024, it's time to reflect on the lessons, wins, and challenges that shaped our journeys. In this episode, I'm sharing powerful takeaways from coaching clients, my own experiences, and inspirational quotes/insights that can inspire independent retailers to make 2025 their best year yet.    Get ready for mindset shifts, marketing tips, and practical strategies to simplify, amplify, and thrive!    If you are dreading making a plan for your retail shop in 2025, I have something for you: Design Your Best Retail Year Ever is available for purchase as a stand-alone workshop (or free for you if you are a member of The Retailer's Inner Circle program)!    This workshop has been named a favorite by so many of my clients.

Grab it today, or join the Retailer's Inner Circle and it's included in your membership - along with a “pantry” full of other masterclasses and resources for you to grab when you need them.    Some Takeaways: The Power of “How Can I” Energy: Shift from “I can't” to “How can I” and see the shifts.   Simplify and Amplify: Why B+ work and “Done is better than perfect” can help you focus on what truly matters. Give yourself permission to let it be easy - whatever “it” is! “A confused mind never buys.” Mindset Makeover: Embrace the courage to course-correct,  drop words like “busy,” “just,” and “yeah, but…” from your vocabulary and get out of your own head.   Build a Trusted Brand and Use the Power of Invitation: Move beyond selling and yelling.

Choose Joy | The Final Beatitude In this final episode of our series on the Beatitudes, we dive into the profound and often challenging truth of Jesus' words: “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.” What does it mean to choose joy in the face of opposition? Why does Jesus call this the good life? Join us as we unpack how joy isn't just a feeling but a choice—a perspective that allows us to live with hope and purpose no matter the circumstances. Discover how living by the ethics of Jesus transforms not only your life but the world around you. This is the kind of joy that invests in God's new creation, bringing heaven to earth, even when life gets messy. Be encouraged and inspired to choose joy, stand firm in your faith, and see how God's reward is not only eternal but alive in the here and now.

Choose Joy! Advent. Week 2. || Matt Anderson by McDowell Mountain Community Church

Send us a textToday, we're focusing on choosing joy. We've talked about joy before many times, and I would probably talk about choosing joy, but I want to bring it back and remind you to intentionally choose joy. 

For 15 December 2024, The Third Sunday of Advent, based on Zephaniah 3:14–18a (Photo by Senjuti Kundu on Unsplash)

Joy is when you depend on Jesus and not the temporal conditions of this world.

[James 1:1-4] If James can admonish us to “consider it pure joy”, then you and I have the ability to choose joy when times are tough.

There is a lot you can be angry about. But, is being angry the right attitude to take? Rather than being angry, choose to be joyful and rejoice as Tom encourages us today. 00:00 - Intro 01:20 - Psalm 118:24 02:16 - Philippians 4:4 06:49 - Remember what Paul says Share your stories, prayer requests, or your response to this devotional in the comments below.

Choose Joy. This is the motto that today's guests, Jen and David, decided that their family would follow after a prenatal ultrasound showed that their fourth son AJ would be born with not one, but two newborn abnormalities. He had achondroplasia as well as a rare congenital heart defect. They knew that AJ was facing a complex medical future, but they decided that they would face all these struggles with joy-filled hearts. Throughout AJ's 44 days of life, Jen and David chose joy each day. David described AJ as a 'little man with a big purpose.' His life was a roller-coaster of ups and downs, but ultimately AJ's lungs were unable to heal and he lost his life. After AJ's death, you might think Jen and David would have given up their 'Choose Joy' motto, but this has not been the case. Jen knew that she needed to do something to help her broken family grieve and she needed guidance. Jen immediately signed up for several retreats at Luella's Lodge, some for her, some for her and David, and some for their whole family. The peace and comfort that Luella's Lodge offered was truly indescribable. Jen found herself being drawn back again and again. This is the point in the story when Jen's path first crossed my own. Carrie, from Luella's Lodge, and I decided to do a special retreat this past fall for Always Andy's Mom podcast listeners. Although Jen had never heard of me or the podcast, she was the host mom for that retreat. Over the past five years of doing the podcast, I have felt God's presence many times, but I never felt it stronger than during that weekend.  God knew I needed a video editing team to help with the podcast's social media presence. God also knew that Jen and David needed to expand their production company by working with organizations they felt passionate about. As our relationship began that weekend, we both felt that by choosing to work with each other, we were choosing joy. Together, we can help make podcast episodes and meaningful videos for grieving families everywhere. I envision AJ and Andy both grinning down at us from heaven, proud to see their parents choose joy. *If you want to join me next fall at Luella's Lodge, go to luellaslodge.org and sign up for the September 25-28th retreat.

In this podcast, Pastor Justin preaches into how we must choose to get off the roller coasters that try to dictate our emotions to drive our lives, and instead stay connected to Jesus and keep going higher with Him. Support the show
