How do you find joy when life feels overwhelming? In this episode of the Jaime Luce Podcast, we dive into the book of James to uncover the powerful truth that trials are not meant to break us but to build steadfast faith.

James urges believers to “count it all joy when you meet trials of various kinds” because the testing of faith produces endurance and maturity. Drawing from her own experiences and the Word of God, Jaime shows how joy is not a denial of pain but a choice to trust in God’s promises.

Through scripture, personal stories, and encouragement, you’ll learn:

- Why trials strengthen and refine your faith

- How asking God for wisdom brings direction in times of uncertainty

- Why joy is a powerful source of spiritual strength

- What it means to live out your faith with action, not just words

- How Jesus Himself endured suffering “for the joy set before Him” (Hebrews 12:2)

If you are weary, discouraged, or facing challenges, this message will remind you that God is faithful. Sorrow is temporary, but His joy is eternal.
