We kick off this podcast by laying down a foundation for what’s to come on this show. Join us as we introduce you to our two hosts, Kevin Fuqua and Gary Lyons, and explain what true joy is all about.

Before we begin this journey with you, we wanted to take some time to set the table for what’s to come on this show. To do that, we thought it would be best to lay a foundation by explaining the meaning of true joy, how it applies to our lives, and why it’s the focus for this podcast.

This episode will give you some background on the two hosts, Kevin Fuqua and Gary Lyons, and fill you in on the mission to find true joy.

As you listen to this first episode, keep an ear out for these topics:

• What true joy means to each of us.
• Why it’s important to keep a positive outlook on life despite the negativity that surrounds us.
• What we can do differently in our lives to improve the lives of ourselves and others.
• The gifts that God has blessed each of us with.
• Using love more purposefully in our conversations and relationships.
