The Most Punk Rock Thing You Can Do is Have Joy
As the year begins, God is bringing clarity that produces boldness and speed. Guest speaker Travis Aicklen explores the theology of joy, challenging the idea that spiritual life and sensory pleasure are incompatible. Drawing from the life of Blaise Pascal and the teachings of the Apostle Paul, we learn that joy is not just a command to "snap out of it," but a fruit we must cultivate like a farmer—removing barriers like bitterness and anxiety to make room for the "oil of gladness." Main Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:16–22
