About this study
Joy is the most counterfeited fruit on the list. The world calls happiness joy. Church culture calls forced positivity joy. The fruit is none of these.
This twelve-part study walks through chara — the deep, supernatural gladness that the New Testament insists can coexist with sorrow. You'll meet Hebrew simchah in the Psalms, watch Paul write joy from a Roman prison, and trace Holy Spirit's role in producing what circumstances cannot manufacture.
For the believer who has been told to "just choose joy" and found it doesn't work that way.
