Sustained Joy with Emelie Pepito

The majority of our life is lived not on the mountain tops or in the harvest, but in the sustained and steadfast toil that tends to the gardens and climbs the mountains. It is in the plodding toil that we are most likely to lose joy, focus, or find our purpose eroded across the grind of every-day reality, decision making, squabbling children, disappointment and loneliness. However, as Christians' steadfast joy is part of our inheritance, if we are willing to lay hold of it. 

"Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."

Nehemiah 8:10

Episode 129 with Emelie Pepito is full of practical ways we can grow our sustained joy. It ranges from learning to keep promises to ourselves so we can ensure a sense of security for ourselves, to prioritising hugs from our husbands, to having the self-discpline to cut things out that steal our joy, and protect our body from dopamine crashes, inflammation, and sleeplessness.
