Send us some LOVE!

Have you ever stumbled across joy in the most unexpected of places, like amidst the sharp edges of grief? This episode welcomes Ross Palfreyman, a seasoned attorney turned author, who shares his profound insights on finding "Joy in the Brambles." Together, we unravel the complexities of grief that arise from life's various challenges, including family squabbles, health scares, and career shifts. Ross offers a compelling approach to embracing joy even when faced with life's prickliest obstacles, as well as a look into our spiritual understanding of joy as a covenant with a higher power.

The concept of charity within the Christian faith takes center stage as we contemplate how acts of kindness and service to others can lead to a deeper experience of joy. I recount a heartwarming story of inclusion involving a young boy in our church and discuss the legal nuances of contracts to illustrate how committing to compassionate actions can be seen as a promise, a bilateral agreement, with the divine. We consider the idea that joy from service is a gift, not a penalty, filled with acts of love and care for others, however small they might seem.
