Happiness Is Commanded: The Christian Virtue of Joy

In this episode, Tony Bruin explores the biblical truth that joy is not optional for the Christian—it is commanded. Drawing from both Old and New Testament scriptures, he demonstrates that happiness is not a byproduct of comfort but a virtue rooted in obedience to God. A joyless Christian distorts the gospel message, while gladness reflects trust, redemption, and the indwelling word of Christ. Joy is not seasonal. It is integral to righteousness.
