Swallowing Sunshine: Finding Joy with Brenda Savanhu and Marti Darcangelo

Send me a text and let me know your thoughts! What does it feel like to truly encounter God's joy?  In this episode of Just Talking About Jesus, Jan Johnson, Marti Darcangelo, and Brenda Savanhu gather around a powerful quote from Methodist missionary E. Stanley Jones —  "When I met Christ, I felt that I had swallowed sunshine" —  and let it spark a rich, honest conversation about choosing joy even in the darkest seasons.  From King Jehoshaphat's battle cry to Moses glowing on the mountain, from Paul writing from prison to personal stories of desert seasons and breakthrough moments, this episode is a reminder that joy isn't just a feeling — it's a choice, a gift, and a witness to the world.  Come swallow some sunshine with us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA3RVuyf_3w&list=RDlA3RVuyf_3w&start_radio=1 Welcome to Just Talkin' About Jesus.
