"Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth."
1 Corinthians 13:6

What if the hardest thing you've been through isn't meant to define you?

In today's episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Christian artist Sean Rodriguez for a powerful conversation about identity, healing, and learning to see ourselves through God's truth rather than our pain.

Together, they unpack 1 Corinthians 13:6 and discuss our tendency to dwell on negative experiences, disappointments, anxiety, failures, and the moments that have hurt us most. While those experiences are real, Sean shares a life-changing revelation he learned through his own struggles:

The bad things that happen to us don't make us special. What makes us special is what God does through us in spite of them.

From anxiety and self-doubt to disappointment and difficult seasons, Ash and Sean explore what it means to process our feelings without allowing them to become our identity. They discuss the freedom that comes when we stop defining ourselves by our wounds and start defining ourselves by God's truth.

If you've ever felt stuck in your past, overwhelmed by your circumstances, or tempted to let your struggles become your identity, this conversation will remind you that your story isn't over and that God can bring beauty from even the hardest chapters.
