Finding Unexpected Joy in the Heart of Uganda, with Kelly Miller

It might seem hard to believe that a third-world country like Uganda has something vital to teach us about true contentment and joy, but that’s exactly what ministry leader Kelly Miller learned while working with students there. In fact, living and serving in Uganda changed this former software executive’s heart so much that he founded a ministry and wrote a book on his experience—all about how true joy is only found when we embrace a life of surrender to God’s plan. On this special episode of Unapologetic, Julianne sits down with Kelly as he shares his story—from working with high school students in America to answering God’s call to move with his wife to Uganda and starting their ministry, 314 Community. Kelly’s is an inspiring testimony, and through his ministry both in The States and in Uganda, he’s learned gospel truths we can all apply to our lives. Most Importantly he’s learned that joyful obedience to God’s teachings based on grace—not obligation—leads to true transformation. During their time together, Julianne and Kelly also discuss why the prosperity gospel is so detrimental in a country like Uganda, why Americans are unhappier than ever given our material wealth, and Kelly’s advice for pursuing your God-given purpose. At Christmastime especially, it’s so important to embrace the only source of true joy: Jesus. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts! Kelly’s book, Unexpected Joy, is available everywhere now!
