About this episode

Paul lived a life of joy—even in prison. How? Dr. Charlie Dates shares that joy is consequential, not circumstantial. Joy is the consequence of Christ being proclaimed, and when we share the Good news and have a relationship with Jesus, joy should follow. There is power in the name of God. You can have real joy when you see your circumstances as catalysts, not constraints, and enemies as encouragers, not impediments. Find the joy that comes in proclaiming the truth of Jesus.
