Episode 132: Indestructible Joy
Wednesday, 26 November, 2025
On this week’s episode of Further, Brenton Grimm sits down with Clay Baker to talk about what biblical joy really is and how it’s different from simple happiness. They unpack how joy can coexist with sorrow and suffering, looking at passages like Nehemiah, Philippians 4, Habakkuk 3, and John 16 to show that our joy is rooted in Christ’s person, work, and presence, not in our circumstances. Clay shares personally about negative thought patterns, music, and habits, and how filling our minds with gospel truth and good rhythms of prayer, Scripture, and fellowship shapes our experience of joy. They also talk about how God uses our suffering for our good, for the good of others, and for His glory, even when we’re impatient for relief or for Jesus’ return. Finally, they connect Harmony’s “remember, rehearse, respond” framework for corporate worship to everyday life, encouraging listeners to carry those same gospel-centered patterns into their week so that their joy may be full.Email us at further@harmonybiblechurch.orgIf you have a question that you'd like to be discussed on Further, send us an email at: ask@furtherpodcast.comListen to last week's Sermon:Apple PodcastsSpotifyVisit our church website at:harmonybiblechurch.orgfurtherpodcast.com
