Joy | Adam Brewer | Southwest Church
It only takes three seconds for our brains to register a negative memory, but fourteen seconds for a positive one. If fear and anxiety come so easily, how can we ever find lasting peace?
Minister Adam Brewer dives into the Christmas story to show the difference between fleeting happiness and the unshakable joy promised by the Gospel. This message addresses the constant struggle with worry by giving us practical steps to shift our focus from the sorrow of the world to the solid hope found in Jesus—our Savior, Messiah, and Lord.
Key Insights for Choosing Joy:
- Why joy is a choice, not an emotion dependent on circumstances.
- The three simple practices from Philippians 4 that anchor your heart in peace.
- How to lean into Jesus' presence even when you're standing in grief.

If you're tired of anxiety stealing your peace, this episode will help you intentionally train your mind and heart to focus on the goodness of God and experience the warmth of His presence.
