Why does it sometimes seem like people who ignore God are prospering while those trying to follow Him are struggling?

On this Fun Friday edition of The Steve Marston Show, Steve introduces us to one of the most relatable people in the Bible: Asaph, the worship leader who wrote Psalm 73. Asaph loved God, served Him faithfully, and still found himself looking at the lives of the ungodly and wondering, Why am I doing all of this?

Everything changed when Asaph stopped looking at the temporary and began looking at life from the perspective of eternity. His struggle is a powerful reminder that following God isn't about comparing our circumstances with someone else's—it is about trusting where God is ultimately taking us.

Steve also welcomes Paul Asay from Plugged In, a ministry of Focus on the Family, for a look at the latest movies, music, streaming entertainment, technology, and the messages our families are consuming. They discuss The Magic Faraway Tree, Ariana Grande's new album, Camp Rock 3, screen time, entertainment worldviews, and Plugged In's free Parents Guide to Technology.
Plus, it's Fun Friday, so Steve dives into the Babylon Bee, covers some Christian and entertainment stories you may have missed, delivers the Dad Joke of the Day, and wraps up this week's Faith Between Our Ears with 1 Corinthians 2:9:

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Your Next Step: Find someone in the Bible you relate to—positively or negatively—and spend some time studying their life. What can God teach you through their successes, failures, doubts, and faith?

The Steve Marston Show is a daily Christian radio show and podcast helping you live more like Jesus through biblical teaching, Christian discipleship, faith and culture conversations, interviews, encouragement—and a little fun along the way.

Listen on 99.5 The Word in Little Rock, AM 630 The Word in San Antonio, and wherever you listen to podcasts.
