What does it look like to have joy in the middle of suffering — not someday in eternity, but right now? In this episode, Jay Ewing sits down with Brody Young, student ministry pastor at Calvary Bible Church's Thornton campus, to work through John 16 and Jesus's farewell words to his disciples. They dig into the difference between happiness and joy, why prayer is the anchor when life feels too hard to navigate alone, and what Jesus actually meant when he told his disciples "I have overcome the world." Along the way, Brody shares the story of Saint Patrick's faith forged in slavery, a moving insight from a friend walking through serious illness, and what it means to grieve — and hope — like a Christian. Whether you're in a hard season or just want to go deeper in John, this is a conversation worth your time.
