What about Suffering? - North Oak
February 19, 2023 • Matt Fulmer
Life can sometimes deal us the biggest blows, making it difficult to feel content, at peace, or even happy. Suffering is one of the biggest robbers of joy. And yet, there are really helpful practices for when suffering strikes that help us navigate the pain of those moments. And through those practices, we can experience joy even in the midst of suffering.

Joy Grows When it's Shared - North Oak

Because we live in a highly individualistic society, we might assume that joy is something that we experience on our own. And at its worst, we might have trouble being happy when we see others being happy. But when we learn to share the moments of celebration with others, we experience a greater sense of joy.

Taking Control of the Narrative - North Oak
February 5, 2023 • Matt Fulmer • Philippians 4:10–13
In psychology, there's a term called "locus of control." We can either have an external locus of control, where we outsource our sense of agency to circumstances outside of us. Or an internal locus of control, where we recognize the things that we can change, and we let go of the things that we can't. Reframing situations based on what we can control changes everything.
