(Alternative Title: Mysterious Paintings, Rivers, Togetherness, and Songs... Joy is Harder To Talk About Than We Thought) 10 Profound Questions of Faith | This episode is part of a limited series of The BETWEEN Podcast where we're exploring ten, big, heavy, difficult, profound faith questions. In this episode, we explore JOY from peculiar angles. We try to dip into a joy that flows far deeper than mere happiness. And we wonder if joy is available if it isn't shared. Joy can seem like it's a required feeling at certain times of the year... but maybe there's a different way to understand it spiritually. This episode features Rev. Dani Hillyer and Matt Mattson. 📖While you're here... have you ordered your copy of " ⁠⁠ Cathedrals of Connection ⁠⁠ ," the new book by Matt Mattson, yet?
