What if the things you don’t have are exactly what God wants to use? In this powerful conversation, Tauren Wells joins The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to share the story behind his new book Joy Bomb: Unleashing Jesus’s Explosive Joy for an Extraordinary Life. Together with host Ginny Yurich, Tauren unpacks the deeper meaning of the Beatitudes—revealing how Jesus' first sermon wasn’t just a list of virtues but a radical invitation to joy for the overlooked, the grieving, the struggling, and the spiritually empty.

They explore how our culture’s obsession with curated happiness leaves us chasing a version of joy that never satisfies. Instead, Tauren offers a bold reframing: lack, mourning, and hardship aren’t roadblocks—they're invitations into a deeper, more explosive joy. With stories from his own life, parenting insights, and biblical truth, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about what it means to live a blessed life.
