Joy can heal you. Misery can kill you. This is not motivation — it is medicine. And Bishop Socrates Charos has scripture to back it up.

In Episode 67 of Good News with Socrates, Socrates delivers a pure, joyful message straight from the Psalms. He teaches from Psalms 100, 149, and 150, walks through the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22, and shows you exactly how to enter the presence of God through thanksgiving, praise, singing, and joy. He also shares the song he wrote at 30,000 feet that he gave to President Ronald Reagan to mark 200 years of America — and why he still sings it today.

The message is simple. Stop being miserable. The Holy Spirit is love, joy, and peace. Holiness is not moodiness. Come before God with a joyful heart and watch what He does.

In this episode:

• Joy of the Lord is your strength: Nehemiah 8:10 and why your body heals itself through joy

• Psalms 100: enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise

• Psalms 149: let the saints be joyful in glory and sing aloud on their beds

• Psalms 150: let everything that has breath praise the Lord

• Galatians 5:22: the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, and peace

• Singing to the Lord: Psalms 57, 92, 95, 98, and 149 on music and praise

• The song Socrates wrote for President Reagan at 30,000 feet over America

• A travel blessing: go to Greece, Israel, Patmos, Italy, the Philippines, and see what God created

• Why holiness is not moodiness and why moody Christians are missing the point
