In this episode of Jesus & a Cup of Joe, host Royce Bottoms takes you deep into Acts 16 — the powerful moment when Paul and Silas were beaten, chained, and thrown into a prison cell… yet chose to praise God at midnight.

When life backs you into a dark corner…
When the doors close and the chains feel tight…
When nothing makes sense…

This episode reminds you of a truth straight from Scripture:

Praise is not a reaction — it’s a weapon.

Today we’re talking about something that hits close to home — a message wrapped up in a powerful song by Josiah Queen called “Dust on Our Bibles.”
This song exposes something many of us don’t want to admit: we’re living in a world full of distractions, full of noise, full of screens — yet our Bibles are sitting untouched. We have every spiritual resource at our fingertips, and yet somehow, our faith has become comfortable —even lazy.
Today, we’re digging into what it means to move from a comfortable faith to a committed one. Because faith isn’t meant to sit on a shelf — it’s meant to be lived. Grab your coffee, open your heart, and let’s get into it.

When your job feels more like a battlefield than a blessing, how do you keep your faith intact? In this episode, Royce Bottoms shares how to stand firm in Christ, stay grounded in truth, and walk in peace no matter what the workplace throws your way.

Ministry is often described as a calling, but let’s be honest—it can feel like an extreme sport—highs and lows, victories and wounds, and struggles that rarely get mentioned from the pulpit.

☕ Tune in, be encouraged, and find strength for the journey.

In this week’s episode of Jesus & a Cup of Joe, we pause to reflect on the weight of tragedy and the unshakable hope we have in Christ. Together, we remember the 24th anniversary of September 11th, honor the bold faith of Charlie Kirk in the wake of his shocking assassination, and grieve with the families devastated by the recent Colorado school shooting.

These moments remind us of the fragility of life, the cost of truth, and the relentless reality of evil—but they also point us to something greater: that Jesus Christ remains our refuge, our strength, and our living hope.

Through Scripture, reflection, and encouragement, we’ll walk through what it means to mourn together, stand boldly for truth with love, and hold tightly to the promises of God in the darkest of times. Because no matter what happens in this broken world, nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.

So grab your coffee, lean in, and join me as we discover hope in the midst of tragedy.
