John 15:11 | Joylessness Is a Signal, Not a Moral Failure

Jesus says the purpose of everything he has been teaching is joy. Not guilt. Not duty. His joy in you. Your joy made full.

If the fruit of abiding is joy, then joylessness is not a moral failure. It is a signal. It is not asking what is wrong with you. It is asking where you stopped abiding.

This episode is for anyone in ministry who has quietly lost their joy and does not know how to name it.
