Wide Eyed Christianity

Last Sunday was the 3rd Sunday of Advent, and the related theme was joy. Sean and Ben talk about joy, and contrast it with the mere presence of happiness. As Orthodox theologian Alexander Schmemann (1921-1983) said, "In the understanding of the Church, sorrow is not replaced by joy; it is transformed into joy." In the great Ren & Stimpy musical catalog, "Happy Happy Joy Joy" is nowhere near as good a song as "It's Log" Thank you to Rob Mathes for letting us use his song "Wake up Wide-Eyed" off the album Wheelbarrow for our intro and outro.
