Joy is a feeling one has on the inside that is not based upon what is going on. It is a defined as great pleasure and happiness. Great pleasure is something that we all want to have as part of our everyday life, but for most, hard to achieve. Scott Drew, from Baylor, shares in his new book, The Road To Joy, what road he had to take to achieve joy and how we too can achieve it.

I am sure being a Head Coach, he has seen his fair share of things that will make a person not want to choose joy. Joy is a choice and it is something all of us need to strive for. He said that he learned to live by the principle “J.O.Y” which stands for “Jesus, Others, Yourself.”

It stands for just that, Jesus first, others, and then oneself. I speak for myself when I say that putting Jesus first all the time does not happen. It should, but I can say that I thank God for His grace and mercy because I need it. Trusting Him means trusting that his outcome is perfect. So celebrating wins, even small ones are important.

About The Road to Joy

Nearly seventeen million viewers tuned into the 2021 NCAA National Championship to see the Baylor Bears, led by head coach Scott Drew, beat the top-ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs, who were undefeated heading into the championship game. The win was Baylor’s first National Championship–the culmination of the biggest turnaround in college sports history.  When Drew accepted the head coaching position at Baylor in 2003, the job was arguably the worst in all of college sports. The men’s basketball team had been disgraced by scandal: one player murdered a teammate, and the head coach who lied about the details tried to conceal illegal cash payments to his players, including a false allegation that the murdered player had been dealing drugs. It was an unprecedented story and a national embarrassment. Still, Coach Drew had a confident vision of what the program could be, even in the face of such adversity, and he guided his team to the pinnacle of success while leading with, and living out, his faith.  The Road to Joy helps equips you to lead others intentionally while achieving yourself. Living out your Joy is important, may not be always easy, in fact, I know that it isn’t but it is doable. So what do you think? Want to join me in the pursue the Road to Joy?
