What is joy? What is serious joy? The Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller (Pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church and Jesus Deaf Lutheran Church, Austin, TX) joins Andy and Sarah for Part 1 of 3 on “serious joy” to talk about how we define joy, the four quadrants of the human heart, the distinction between joy and happiness, where and how Scripture speaks about joy, how joy is expressed in action and in trial, and whether joy can be serious.
