Episode 254 How We Find JoySensers! I a firm believer that we have at least one song that we can identify with the emotion behind the record. The artist and songwriter knew exactly what to say to get to your current situation through Melody and lyrics. Many songs have identified with what I was going through at that particular time and held a close connection to me each time I would hear them. I share a few of those records in this topic. What things take you back to that childhood joyous feeling we once had? I was a major music head and loved a dope music video to go along with it to give my imagination some confirmation of the song I was playing often in my room. I also loved to get lost in the world of wrestling (“wrasslin” let my Pop tell it). Whether it was Hogan, Sting, Yokozuna, Ric Flair…the list goes on, but come Saturday and Sunday in the 90s, we were glued to the set to see WCW Saturday night main event and all American wrestling on USA. These are some of the joys of childhood that I would like to share with you. So…what do you think about a woman who sets the date with the person of interest? Is it customary to do so for you? Do you prefer the woman to make the plans? Does that constitute as her leading to you? All in all, it's perspective to me, but I believe it makes a great talking point for the Sensers! May God and His Universe remove any negative energy you may have stored from reading this. If you dig the episode, click, like, and share on your page. Help build the tribe of healing

Every night, join Father Joseph Matlak as he ends the day with prayer and reflection. In a few short minutes, and using the Douay-Rheims psalter for his reflections, Father Matlak guides you in prayer and shares a brief reflection and a thorough examination of conscience providing you with the encouragement necessary to go forward with peace and strength. ________________

When life feels mundane or unfulfilling, it’s easy to seek joy and satisfaction in circumstances, possessions, or people. But as our daily prayer and reflection on Psalm 37:4 reminds us, true joy is found not in what we have, but in who we have — the Lord Himself. In this reflective devotional, Emily Rose Massey explores what it really means to “delight” in the Lord. The original Hebrew conveys the idea of being soft, pliable, and dependent — a heart that takes pleasure in God alone and trusts His ways above all else. To delight in the Lord is not a suggestion, but a command — one that calls us to find our ultimate satisfaction in Him. As we do, something beautiful happens: our desires begin to change. The more we enjoy and depend on God, the more our hearts align with His. Our ambitions, affections, and prayers begin to reflect His will instead of our own. When we take joy in God for who He is — not just what He can do for us — He fills our lives with peace, contentment, and purpose. Even in seasons of waiting or monotony, delighting in the Lord draws us into deeper intimacy with Him and reshapes our hearts to desire what truly matters. Today's Bible Reading:“Delight yourself also in the Lord,and He shall give you the desires of your heart.” – Psalm 37:4, NKJV

In this episode of 'Spiritual Leadership,' Landon Schott discusses the concept of joy-based warfare.

He also answers questions about the difference between happiness and joy, the impact of joy on leadership burnout, and how to maintain joy around pessimistic individuals. The episode concludes with a prayer and practical steps to integrate joy into daily spiritual practices.

Listen Ad-free & Get PDF, Infographic and Animated Summary / Free Audiobook / What if the secret to thriving in the face of adversity lies not in simply bouncing back, but in evolving into a stronger version of yourself? Join us as we explore the transformative insights from "Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy" by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant. In this enlightening episode of Best Book Summaries by StoryShots, we dive deep into the essential themes that illuminate the path to resilience, a crucial skill for navigating life's unpredictable challenges. Sheryl Sandberg's poignant personal journey following the sudden loss of her husband serves as a powerful backdrop for our discussion. We tackle the misconception that resilience is an innate trait, revealing instead that it can be cultivated like a muscle. Our hosts unpack the three Ps—personalization, pervasiveness, and permanence—that often hinder recovery, providing listeners with actionable strategies to overcome these hurdles. Discover how embracing post-traumatic growth can lead to profound personal transformation, and why building a strong community and support system is vital in the rebuilding process. Throughout this episode, we share practical tips for enhancing emotional resilience, from the significance of establishing rituals to the importance of fostering realistic optimism. We believe that resilience is not just about enduring hardship but thriving in the aftermath. Listeners will gain invaluable insights into self-improvement, as we discuss how to leverage the lessons from bestsellers like "Atomic Habits" and "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" to foster personal growth.

Work doesn’t always look or feel the way we imagined. Sometimes, the job we prayed for ends up feeling draining, and we struggle to find joy in our daily tasks. Yet, as our daily prayer and devotional on Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, our work is not about our comfort—it’s about trusting God with the assignment He’s given us. When we shift our focus from ourselves to God’s purpose, even the most ordinary or frustrating responsibilities can become opportunities to glorify Him. Our workplace becomes a mission field, where conversations, attitudes, and actions can shine Christ’s light into the lives of coworkers and clients. The key is to acknowledge God in all our ways—to invite Him into our tasks, our meetings, and even our frustrations. As we lean on Him instead of our own understanding, He gives us peace, perspective, and joy to serve faithfully each day. Today's Bible Reading: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." – Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV) Key Takeaways God places us in our workplaces for a greater purpose. Our jobs become a mission field when we focus on serving Him first. Choosing joy and gratitude can transform frustration into fruitful ministry. Trusting God with our workday aligns us with His greater plan. Let’s Pray Together Lord, thank You for my job and the opportunities it provides. Help me see my workplace as a mission field and my tasks as ways to glorify You. Guard me from complaining or discouragement, and instead fill me with Your peace, focus, and joy. Use me today to shine Your light to those around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

What does it mean to see work not as a curse but as part of God's original design? In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey is joined by board member Mark Van Drunen to welcome David L. Bahnsen for a rich conversation about his new book, Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life. Bahnsen is the founder, Managing Partner, and Chief Investment Officer of The Bahnsen Group, a private wealth management firm managing more than $4.5 billion in client assets. David is the author of Crisis of Responsibility: Our Cultural Addiction to Blame and How You Can Cure It, The Case for Dividend Growth: Investing in a Post-Crisis World, and There's No Free Lunch, 250 Economic Truths. Mark Van Drunen works in finance and is a ruling elder at Redeemer PCA in Hudson, Ohio. He serves on the Reformed Forum Board of Directors. Together, they explore how a robustly Reformed view of vocation challenges the sacred–secular divide, recovers the dignity of labor, and reorients our understanding of productivity and flourishing. Drawing from Genesis 1, Reformed anthropology, and the legacy of Kuyper, Bahnsen argues that work is not a mere means to consumption or status, but an essential expression of our identity as image-bearers of God. The discussion also addresses pressing contemporary questions—from the pitfalls of “work–life balance” and “follow your passion” mantras, to the theological problems with universal basic income and the cultural obsession with consumption. Listeners will be encouraged to see their daily labor as an act of worship, anticipating the greater work of the new creation secured in Christ. This is a conversation at the intersection of theology, economics, and discipleship—aimed at helping Christians recover a biblically grounded vision for work that fosters maturity in Christ and glorifies God in every sphere of life.
