Different with Steve Chalke and Jill Rowe

Resisting with joy!

Different with Steve Chalke and Jill Rowe

Show Notes

In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe talks with Steve Chalke about joy as an act of resistance. When things feel despairing, we can still seek out joy.

Being able to dwell in joy takes planning and intention, and in time, what we do deliberately becomes second nature to us. Even when surrounded by despair, whether it’s eating together, singing together or serving together, joy can be the outcome from which everyone benefits. In these acts, we declare that a different way is possible.

We pray this episode helps you to see all the joy that does exist in the world, even amongst chaos and uncertainty.
