"Weeping may stay overnight, but there is joy in the morning."
Psalm 30:5

What if the reason so many of us feel disappointed in our faith is because we've confused happiness with joy?

In this thought-provoking conversation, Ash Couchman and Jacquie Scott unpack one of the biggest misconceptions Christians often wrestle with: the difference between happiness and true joy. Reflecting on Psalm 30:5, they explore why joy isn't the absence of pain, hardship, or unanswered questions, but a deep confidence in God's goodness that remains even when life feels difficult.

Together, they discuss what it means to find joy in salvation, why life's circumstances can never fully satisfy us, and how a deeper relationship with Jesus becomes the foundation for lasting hope. If you've ever wondered why the Bible talks so much about joy when life can be so hard, this episode offers a perspective that might change the way you think about faith altogether.
