Secrets of a Happy Soul with Katie Orr

Every time I hear the word “happy,” I have a flashback of myself in high school working the front counter of McDonalds and singing along to “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” The song brought joy back in the 80s. Everyone needed the reminder not to worry so much.

Then, as the years passed, and I got more involved in church, my “happy” thoughts turned to ones of joy. I learned through preaching and books that joy could be found even during difficult times, and somehow I came to believe that “happy” wasn’t something I should pursue. I’m so glad to discover I was wrong about that. It’s okay to seek happiness. In fact, talking with my friend Katie Orr, God encourages us to do so!

In her new book Secrets of the Happy Soul, Katie Orr shares how Psalms 1-2 are a gateway to the rest of the Psalms. They sum up what will follow … and much of it is about being happy! In fact, this is how those psalms begin and end:

How happy is the one … Psalm 1:1
… all who take refuge in him are happy. Psalm 2:12

About the Book:

How do some people do it? They rise above the circumstances and distractions of life and remain consistently happy. Even in tough times, they have a quiet sense of peace about them. Examining the Bible and her own life, Katie Orr has discovered that deep happiness and satisfaction are only possible when we are rooted in God and pursuing his good and specific purpose for each of us.

Secrets of the Happy Soul is your invitation into a deeper, more fruitful relationship with God and his Word. As Katie walks you through key teachings from the book of Psalms, you will recognize how the world’s definition of happiness pales compared to the daily delights God has in store for you. Draw closer to him, and your soul will go from lonely to connected, from overwhelmed to level and led, from aimless to commissioned and unique. God doesn’t promise a storm-free life, but he is the anchor every happy soul needs.

    We have a terrible toilet. Five minutes into plunging, I realised I was going to be there for a good twenty minutes, so I might as well listen to a podcast. So what do I pick except a podcast on being HAPPY and you guys start by giggling about POOP!
