In this episode, John and Mark Gansle ponder the profound distinction between happiness and joy through Mark's experience so far a year into his discernment to become a Catholic deacon. They consider the thought that while happiness is a fleeting emotion, joy is a deep-seated state rooted in following God's will and living in communion with Him. They dive into the spiritual nuances of joy, the suffusion of the Holy Spirit in our lives, and responding to God's call in our lives to live out what we're meant for instead of just doing what we want to do.
