(Advent Series: Part 3 of 4) A guided time with God through prayer and reflection on Scripture. In this episode, explore the theme of joy. We all need joy, not just some fleeting happiness. In this upside down season, how can we find moments and glimpses of joy? We can only find real joy in light of the relational reality of God's coming near. Take some time to soak in the nearness of God, so you may be a source of joy to others around you. To learn more about Spiritual Growth, visit saddleback.com/grow .
