Lately, we’ve all been quoting this verse: “Count it all joy.” Whether it’s been during incredible moments—or while dealing with a flat tire—we’ve said it, posted it, and prayed it. But what does James really mean when he says, “Count it all joy when you face trials…”?

In this episode, Matthew Wright takes a deeper dive into James 1:2–4 and unpacks the real context behind the scripture. Is it just for hard times? Are we supposed to count everything joy—even the annoying, frustrating, or heartbreaking stuff? What does Jesus say about this kind of mindset?

We’ll talk about how joy isn’t about ignoring reality—it’s about shifting your perspective to see what God is producing in you through it. We’ll also look at how Jesus Himself endured the cross “for the joy set before Him” and how we can apply that same lens to our lives today.

Whether you’re in a trial or just trying to grow through the ordinary chaos of life, this episode will challenge and encourage you to live with deep-rooted, Spirit-filled joy—even when it’s not easy.

🎧 Listen now and be reminded: God’s not just getting you through—He’s growing you through.
