Summary
SoulWork Notes A Word about Joy — Episode 69: Noise Is Required Welcome to SoulWork Sanctuary , a weekly place to pause with God. We conclude the series A Word about Joy —reflections shaped by what my little cousin Cameron has taught me about joy, the word God gave me for this year. In this episode, we reflect on joy as noise .

What might joy sound like if you stopped worrying about how it was received? SoulWork Practice for the Week This week, make a joyful noise—on purpose. Sing along to a song. Hum while you work.
