Have you ever felt a profound joy bubbling up from within, in moments of quiet surrender to something greater than yourself? That's the theme that Dr. Merrill Greene and I, Noah, explore in our latest episode. Merrill, with infectious enthusiasm, recounts his journey from a nominal Christian to a man with an insatiable thirst for Christ. Together, we explore a view of how surrender to God's leading can lead to life-changing joy.
This episode isn't just about joy—it's about the surprising ways that joy intertwines with sacrifice, and how this paradox is at the core of Christian faith. Drawing inspiration from biblical figures like Hannah, to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, we reflect on the profound happiness that comes from giving of oneself. Merrill and I ponder the power of intentionality in our worship and obedience, imagining a spiritual journey enriched by the choice to infuse sacrifice with joy and love. This conversation is full of insight into finding the extraordinary in our ordinary lives, and how embracing our God-given identity can lead us to the deepest wellsprings of joy.
But this isn't even where things got good! Tune in for part 2 next time on the In Rest Podcast.
