This episode is actually a talk given by Noah James Wiebe at Highfield Baptist Church around Christmastime in 2025, but no matter when you're tuning in, this powerful message could be one of the most encouraging things you listen to today.

Sharing from his story of complex loss and ultimate restoration, Noah James Wiebe shares how you, too, can experience a defiant joy that flows even out of pain, preaching a message out of the Gospel of John in the New Testament of the Bible.

Embark on a journey with me, Noah James Wiebe, as we explore the essence of true bravery. In today's episode, we hear a talk from the book of Joshua-- the moment before leading the Israelites to the Promised Land, a story that serves as our guide for confronting fear and making decisions grounded in faith. This isn't just a history lesson; it's a personal invitation to each listener to draw parallels with their own life struggles and to choose courage over comfort, leaning into the transformative strength that comes from unwavering faith.

Share your thoughts and prayer requests on Instagram, and stay tuned for our ongoing conversation about living fully in Christ's rest.

This episode further entwines the threads of faith and joy, with the addition of Dr. Greene's insights on the Christian perspective of true happiness. Together, we ponder the Sermon on the Mount, how pride keeps us from a joy-filled life, and how to trust Jesus with your life, embracing the notion that real joy can emerge from the midst of life's challenges.

Have you ever felt a profound joy bubbling up from within, in moments of quiet surrender to something greater than yourself? That's the theme that Dr. Merrill Greene and I, Noah, explore in our latest episode. Merrill, with infectious enthusiasm, recounts his journey from a nominal Christian to a man with an insatiable thirst for Christ. Together, we explore a view of how surrender to God's leading can lead to life-changing joy.

This episode isn't just about joy—it's about the surprising ways that joy intertwines with sacrifice, and how this paradox is at the core of Christian faith. Drawing inspiration from biblical figures like Hannah, to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, we reflect on the profound happiness that comes from giving of oneself. Merrill and I ponder the power of intentionality in our worship and obedience, imagining a spiritual journey enriched by the choice to infuse sacrifice with joy and love. This conversation is full of insight into finding the extraordinary in our ordinary lives, and how embracing our God-given identity can lead us to the deepest wellsprings of joy.

But this isn't even where things got good! Tune in for part 2 next time on the In Rest Podcast.

Are you tired of the relentless chase for joy that the world promotes, only to find it fleeting and unfulfilling? I trust that this podcast episode will elevate your understanding of true joy, which is found in Christ, and guide you on how to experience it by overcoming the Lust of the Flesh and the Lust of the Eyes. We dissect the underlying issues associated with pride, love, and the comparison game that often robs us of our joy and freedom. We highlight the transformative power of the phrase, “There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”, and its pivotal role in understanding true joy and freedom... AND SO MUCH MORE!

Let's get into it!

Ever pondered why 'choose joy' feels like a vacuous, Instagram slogan rather than a life-changing mantra? Join us as we navigate the sincere essence of choosing joy. Ditching the cliché, we dissect what it genuinely means to choose joy, going beyond fleeting happiness to discover a wellspring of strength, resilience, and integrity. We touch on the constraints of individualism, drawing from the book of Nehemiah, and how it impacts our journey to embody joy in our daily lives. 

Surviving isn't just about gritting our teeth and pushing through, it's about finding joy in the midst of the storm. Amidst the trials of life, we can anchor ourselves in the solid truth that God's intention for us is good. With Noah, we explore how to bravely say 'yes' to God's plans, even when it seems like the hardest choice. 

Remember, Jesus loves you, life is worth living, and your joy is yours to find, choose, and live.
