Why Some Christians Don’t Break After Tragedy

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 things will go well for you. 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.
