Episode Details

Monday, 27 November: Join us on The Daily Grind Podcast as we explore the profound wisdom of Saint Augustine's words, "The Christian should be an alleluia from head to foot." In this episode, we delve into the spiritual discipline of celebration and how it leads us into a perpetual jubilee of the Spirit. Discover the transformative power of cultivating "holy habits" that shape our character, fostering love, joy, peace, and more. Richard Foster guides us through the central role of celebration in all spiritual disciplines and offers practical steps to infuse authentic joy into our lives. Learn how embracing childlike joy, laughter, imagination, family events, and cultural celebrations can bring healing and wholeness to our communities. Celebrate the goodness of God with us!
