TMP 219 - Finding Joy by Knowing Jesus: The Joy the World Can’t Take
Dec 25, 2025 Episode 219
Mike Van Pelt

Joy isn’t found by chasing better circumstances, it’s discovered by drawing closer to Jesus. In this episode of the True Man Podcast, I explore how intimacy with Christ, especially in seasons of waiting, loss, and reflection, unlocks a joy the world can’t offer and can’t take away. #truemanpodcast
