Aubrey will address the paradox that often the harder we try to be happy in life, the farther we seem to be from achieving the goal of joy. Real joy is found in Jesus. The Bible rejoices in the upside-down, inside-out mysteries that lead us to find the joy the world cannot give and cannot take away.
