Description

Life doesn’t always give us a choice in what happens — but it does give us a choice in how we respond.


In this Midweek Motivation, we talk about what it really means to choose joy, even when life feels heavy. Not pretending things are easy. Not ignoring pain. But choosing gratitude, perspective, and faith in the middle of hard circumstances.


This message is a reminder that joy isn’t a feeling reserved for perfect seasons. It’s a decision we can make — one step at a time.


As we head into Christmas, this episode also challenges us to slow down, tune out the noise, and focus on what truly matters most.




  • Why joy is a choice, not a mood




  • How gratitude reshapes your mindset




  • What endurance running teaches us about perspective




  • Choosing joy in the middle of uncertainty




  • A Christmas reminder about hope and what really matters




Whether you’re out on a run, driving, or just needing a reset, this episode is here to encourage you to keep showing up — with gratitude and joy.


Merry Christmas, my friends.
