Choosing Joy in Hard Times: Lessons from Job, Faith, and Family


Listen Later

Suffering is inevitable—but how we respond to it shapes our faith, our family, and our future. In this episode of Real Talk with Ben and Kimi, we dive into the story of Job, one of the Bible’s most powerful examples of enduring hardship with faith. From losing everything to still declaring, “Blessed be the name of the Lord,” Job’s life reminds us that joy isn’t about circumstances—it’s about trusting God’s promises.

We also share personal reflections on choosing joy in busy seasons of parenting, building resilience in marriage, and leaning on God when life feels overwhelming. Plus, some fun banter with our Overrated/Underrated game (spoiler: soup, flat bill hats, cats, and spontaneous dining out all make the list).

Whether you’re walking through a tough season or simply want to strengthen your foundation before storms come, this conversation will encourage you to keep your eyes on Christ and find joy—even in the struggle.

🔑 What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why suffering is inevitable for believers (John 16:33)

  • How Job’s story teaches us to trust God in trials

  • Practical ways to choose joy in marriage and parenting

  • How to support your spouse when they’re struggling

  • Why faith gives families strength that circumstances can’t shake

👉 Subscribe to Real Talk with Ben and Kimi for weekly encouragement in faith, family, and fun.
