Some people lose everything—and somehow still praise God.
This episode explores why.

In a world addicted to comfort and terrified of pain, many churches quietly teach that “faith” means life gets better. But that’s not biblical. That’s a lie. What happens when suffering comes anyway? What happens when the storm doesn’t pass?

In this raw episode, I unpack what real joy looks like in the life of a true believer. Not fake joy. Not social-media smiles. Not shallow theology built on clichés. Real, unshakable joy rooted in something eternal.

We’ll also witness one of the most powerful modern examples of Christian endurance I’ve ever seen. It’ll stop you in your tracks.

🔸 Why joy isn’t the same as happiness
🔸 How prosperity theology sets people up to lose their faith
🔸 Where real hope is found—even in grief
🔸 What Jesus actually promised (and didn’t)
🔸 And how the Gospel gives us joy that survives the fire
