SHOW NOTES: TRANSCRIPT: In honor of my 20th year of podcasting on The Book of Life, I'm bringing you another episode from the archives: Summer Coolness, released in June 2007. The episode featured a now-defunct website called ReaderGirlz, and the website Nextbook that morphed into Tablet Magazine in 2009. There were also many mentions of MySpace. I interviewed Melissa Schorr, author of Goy Crazy, who, according to her website, seems to have mostly moved on from kidlit to journalism. I must say, her most recent book from 2017, Shame Nation: Choosing Kindness and Compassion in an Age of Cruelty and Trolling, looks extremely on point. And the episode featured the band Sababa, which happily is still in existence, and in fact, they've recently released their fourth album called When We Rise.

Title: Joy Comes in the MorningSpeaker: Matt KehlerText: Psalm 40Overview: Continuing our study through the Psalms this Summer, our Family Pastor Matt Kehler teaches on Psalm 30.
Joy Comes with the MorningA Psalm of David. A song at the dedication ofthe temple.1I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me upand have not let my foes rejoice over me.2O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,and you have healed me.3O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.4Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,and give thanks to his holy name.5 For his anger is but for a moment,and his favor is for a lifetime.Weeping may tarry for the night,but joy comes with the morning.6As for me, I said in my prosperity,“I shall never be moved.”7By your favor, O Lord,you made my mountain stand strong;you hid your face;I was dismayed.8To you, O Lord, I cry,and to the Lord I plead for mercy:9“What profit is there in my death,if I go down to the pit?Will the dust praise you?Will it tell of your faithfulness?10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!O Lord, be my helper!”11You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;you have loosed my sackclothand clothed me with gladness,12that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

If you've ever cried yourself to sleep or wondered if things would ever feel okay again, this episode is for you. God's Word promises that the night won't last forever, and joy is on the way. And, Dannah Gresh has a very special surprise to share.
In this message from Philippians 1, we discover that true joy doesn't come from circumstances but from allegiance to Jesus. Paul is in prison, telling this church that every time he thinks about them he is thankful and prays for them with such joy. Joy was not a by-product. Joy was their form of resistance and strength. That same joy is available to us today.

Joy Comes in the Morning
The most joyful people in the world are unselfish people.
This is a deeply thoughtful and inspiring reflection on Living with Joy, and you've beautifully woven together personal experience, Scripture, and practical spiritual insight. It offers a powerful challenge to choose joy, not as a denial of reality, but as a deeply rooted act of faith and alignment with God's purpose. A few key themes stand out strongly: 1. Joy as a Command, Not Just a Feeling You've made a compelling case that joy isn't just a mood we stumble into, but a spiritual discipline. Repeated Scriptural commands—“Rejoice in the Lord always,” “Be glad,” “Shout for joy”—show that joy is something God calls us to decide to embrace, even when circumstances are hard. That's not shallow cheerfulness; it's deep resilience rooted in trust. 2. Joy Comes from Knowing God's Big Plan This theme is central. You highlighted how Jesus tells His disciples to take heart in the face of trouble because He has already overcome the world. That same promise is offered to us. True joy isn't rooted in everything going well—but in knowing that, whatever happens, God is in control and His plan includes us. 3. Joy is a Product of Gratitude and Worship You noted that joy flows when we spend time in the Word, when we worship, when we recall God's goodness. That practical invitation—to read, to sing, to reflect on blessings—is so simple, but powerful. When we lift our eyes to the eternal, we stop being ruled by the temporary. 4. Joy Is Strength Nehemiah 8:10 might be one of the most hopeful verses in Scripture: “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” That's the kind of power we all need—especially when life is discouraging or overwhelming. It's not joy after we're strong, it's joy that makes us strong. 5. Joy is a Choice We Make in Faith From Mary to the Israelites rebuilding Jerusalem, to the early church under persecution, the examples you gave show that joy often shows up in hard, even confusing times. Not because of denial—but because of belief. Your reflection also brings a very honest voice to the struggle of living joyfully. It's not always easy, and those who pretend it is may come off as naïve or tone-deaf. But you've acknowledged the struggle and pointed to the source of strength that allows us to rise above it—not by willpower, but by anchoring our hearts in God. Would you like help turning this into a spoken message, devotional, or small group study? When life feels heavy, choosing joy can seem impossible. But what if joy isn't just a feeling—what if it's a command and a source of strength? In this encouraging message, we explore how Scripture calls us to live with joy, not by ignoring pain, but by trusting in God's Big Plan. Discover how worship, gratitude, and time in God's Word can help shift your perspective, renew your hope, and give you the strength to keep going—no matter what you're facing. Whether you're walking through hardship or just feeling spiritually dry, this video will remind you that joy is possible, joy is powerful, and joy is a gift from God.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Psalm 37:25 - God Will Never Abandon His Children Psalm 84:11 - The Lord is Your Sun and Shield 2 Corinthians 5:17 – Made New in Christ Deuteronomy 1:30-31 - God Goes Before You and Fights for You Psalm 30:5 - Joy Comes in the Morning
Today's Promise: Psalm 30:5 You may be going through a season of sorrow, pain, or uncertainty, and you think the dark night of your soul may never end. In the middle of your difficulty, it's easy to get so focused on the problem that you think things will never change. Weeping lasts for the night but not forever. It is just for a season, not a lifetime. We all face problems, but they don't last. The only thing that lasts forever is God's love. As a child of God, you have God's favor, which lasts a lifetime. His love brings a new day and joy in the morning.
