| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Taylor Marshall Show, episode 43, |
| 0:04.3 | rediscovering the joy of your salvation. |
| 0:06.9 | You know, I just took a survey of well over a thousand Catholics |
| 0:10.9 | asking them if their faith made them joyful or joyless. I'm going to share |
| 0:15.7 | with you the results which are surprising and then we'll talk about some advice |
| 0:19.7 | and practical applications and this is part one of a two-part series on Joy, Christian Joy, all |
| 0:27.8 | coming up next. The And the Howdy and thank you for tuning in to the Taylor Marshall Show. This is the |

| 2:13.0 | From a Catholic, you know, I often talk about on the podcast and on my blog in NSTI and in the videos. |
| 2:20.1 | I talk about positive Catholicism. I believe that if we are true Christians and true |
| 2:26.5 | followers of Jesus Christ, we should be optimistic, we should be changing the world, we should |
| 2:32.2 | be making an eternal impact in our culture and we should have joy in our hearts and a smile on our face |
