JORDAN LEE DOOLEY
About this episode

It can often feel confusing and overwhelming to navigate life with joy and wisdom when facing challenging circumstances, temptations, waiting seasons, and countless opinions and options.

It can be easy to get wrapped up in the world's definition of happiness or decisions you may not be proud of.  

So how can you seek joy and health outside of your circumstances? What can you do to make wiser decisions in your life? And how can you slow down and wait on God's timing?

That's what this episode explores!

In this episode, Jordan talks with YouTuber Jeanine Amapola Ward about how to build a happy and healthy life as a Christian.

Tune in to learn:

  • What happiness looks like from a Christian perspective and how it differs from the world's definition of happiness
  • Habits you can use to prioritize your spiritual, emotional, and physical health
  • How to make wise decisions
  • What to do when you are trying to decide between two good options
  • How to slow down and wait on God’s timing
