Hey everybody. Welcome to the Mir Christians podcast. I'm Jordan Rayner. How does the Gospel

influence the work of mere Christians? Those of us who aren't

pastors or religious professionals but who work as biologists and butchers and

legal clerks? That's the question we explore every week and today I'm posing it to my friend

Neil Somudre. He's the CEO and co-founder of Enjoy Co and Emotional Health and Wellness Company, and the author of a great new book that I was honored to endorse called Start from Joy.

It's the perfect topic to kick off this new year.

Neil and I talk on this episode about how practically

you can find joy in a job regardless of your circumstances. We talked about the five

options of a joyful purpose that aligns with God's word for your work.

And Neil shared his number one tip right at the top of this episode

for finding peace in your work amidst the chaos.

I loved this episode.

I think it's going to be super helpful to you. Please enjoy this conversation

with Neil Sumudre. Neil, my friend, finally, welcome to the podcast. I am so stoked to be here, Jordan.

to come on this show and talk about joy.

All right, so we are gonna talk about joy today.

How do you find joy when your children give you

hand foot in mouth?

Let's get like real nitty gritty practical. Are you joyful this morning?
