Episode notes

It's normal to want our kids to be happy...but what if the goal of "happiness" is robbing us and our kids of something better?

Happiness is good, but it's fragile and circumstantial.

Joy, on the other hand, is lasting, and is something that we can choose even when life gets hard.

Join Brian and Katie as they discuss the difference between happiness and joy, and why loving our kids well requires that we aim higher than to simply make them happy.
