Is joy really possible when life feels heavy? In this episode, we dig into the difference between happiness and true joy—the kind that lasts even when circumstances don’t. Bethany and her cousins talk about what it means to choose joy every day, how to find it when you’re struggling, and how to fight for it when life tries to steal it away.

We open up about real-life tools that help us protect our joy, from therapy and medication to prayer and Scripture. Together, we unpack powerful verses like Acts 16, James 1:2–4, Galatians 5, Psalm 23, and John 10:10, and talk about how to hold onto God’s peace in the middle of chaos.

And if you want to dive deeper into Psalm 23, check out the study happening at Restoration Christian Church.

This one’s a reminder that joy isn’t a feeling—it’s a choice we make with God’s help every single day.
