Joy Never Fails | Behind the Scenes with Relentless Joy Jun 09, 2023

Show notes

This week:

Listen in as Rachel talks about an incident that took place on her honeymoon, and how someone who was "a noticer" saved her life. Being someone who notices details, who sees more than the surface, who is invested in others is part of living a joy-filled life.

She also reads an excerpt from chapter 3, a story about a red bird chasing her car, and explains the significance of the red bird.

In Relentless Joy, she says, "This book is your invitation from this moment forward to never miss the opportunity to savor the joy in your life. If you did an audit on the worst times of your life and got down to the granular details, I'm willing to bet there was something beautiful. Even in the midst of that pain, I can count all I've lost and it is a lot. Or I can count my joy. The choice is up to me."
