In this episode of Radical Radiance, host Rebecca George is joined by Carole Leathem to delve into the topic of joy. This encouraging episode urges us all to create space for God in our lives during the busy-ness of Christmas and seek true joy in Christ.

Carole and her husband, Bill, live in Bakersfield, California, and are the parents of two grown miracle children and grandparents to seven grandchildren.
