THE AFTERWORD: Philippians - Week 1

Title: THE AFTERWORD | Philippians - Week 1

Description:

Joy isn’t just the main character in Pixar’s 2015 animated classic INSIDE OUT. It’s also what we long for, and often, something we feel is deeply missing in our day-to-day life. Can our lives really be infused with joy no matter what our circumstances? How can we get joy? Does it require conditions to be perfect? And why is it so elusive? Jay Kim stops by to talk about Paul’s letter to the Philippians where he uses the word “joy” or “rejoice” 17 times in this short letter. It’s a main theme of the letter, and Paul’s advice on how to “get” joy is shocking and counterintuitive. We also chat about some specific challenges of modern life that fight against joy - and how the 1999 film FIGHT CLUB diagnosed the modern sense of joyless malaise and hopelessness (and even sorta predicted 9/11).

Speakers: David Tieche + Jay Kim
