Summary
When life is hard or sad, it can feel like joy is out of reach. And when we’re in a really difficult season, the “overflowing joy” spoken of in Scripture can seem impossible to experience. But it’s not true, my friend! We can experience joy in any circumstance and experience it in full.
Today’s guest, author and Bible teacher Tara Dew, explains that if you’re willing to take Jesus up on His word, you’ll find that God’s pruning, God’s presence, and God’s commands have the power to deliver a ton of joy to your life.
As we look at Jesus’ instructions in John chapter 15, Tara will point out three surprising paths to a truly joy-filled life, as well as reveal the paths we often think lead us to joy but are actually dead ends.

| 0:21.6 | and they're trying to find it in all the wrong ways and these pathways that will lead to dead |
| 0:26.4 | ends. And I think that's why we're seeing people with outstanding amounts of anxiety or depression |
| 0:33.1 | or these feelings of just being overwhelmed with life. |
