This episode unravels the numerous tests described in James chapter one, highlighting perseverance as a reflection of genuine love and true faith in Christ. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on the nature of trials, alongside examples from scripture, to understand that trials are a divine opportunity from God for our growth and fellowship with Him.

But John isn't your typical tech CEO—he didn't start in Silicon Valley, and he didn't have a blueprint. He built his leadership style in real time, often the hard way, with a deep belief in values-first decision-making, transparency, and good old-fashioned grit.John was StubGroup's first employee, eventually becoming its CEO just months before the pandemic hit. What followed? A massive drop in client ad spend, an existential business threat, and a defining leadership moment. Instead of hiding behind closed doors, John chose candor and connection, rallying his team through open-book leadership and a whole lot of pacing around his office.In this conversation, John shares:How growing up with a mix of blue-collar and corporate jobs shaped his leadership instinctsWhat really happened behind the scenes when StubGroup's revenue collapsed during COVIDHis biggest lessons from hiring—and firingWhy transparent leadership builds long-term trust, even when the news isn't goodWhat it takes to teach digital ads to 100,000+ students and rack up millions of YouTube viewsHow his faith informs his worldview and his favorite phrase: “Count it all joy”Whether you're a founder figuring things out, a leader trying to balance growth with integrity, or just someone wondering how the heck Google Ads actually work, John delivers practical wisdom with a down-to-earth tone and a few laughs along the way.Key Takeaways:Transparency builds trust faster than perfection ever couldThe most resilient teams are led by people willing to be human first, boss secondYou don't need a flashy background to be an effective, values-driven leader in techConnect with John Horn:Website: StubGroup.comYouTube: StubGroup's ChannelLinkedIn: John HornContact Us: Visit www.bravingbusiness.com for more information, episodes, and updates.John's story is a powerful reminder that leadership isn't about having all the answers—it's about showing up, owning the hard stuff, and pacing through it anyway.

Episode Summary: In honor of International Happiness Day, join me as I sit down with Rev. Jessica Van Roekel to explore what it really means to count it all joy. As we reflect on personal experiences and biblical examples, we’ll highlight the distinction between circumstantial happiness and the deep, steadfast joy that comes from trusting God through trials. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how joy can be a deliberate response to life’s challenges, cultivating faith and steadfastness. Whether you’re navigating hardship or seeking a renewed perspective, this conversation offers hope and encouragement to find joy in every circumstance. International Day of Happiness aims to make people around the world realize the importance of happiness within their lives. This day encourages people to spread happiness through a small action. But what happens when actions don’t cut it, and the feeling of happiness lasts mere seconds? What do we do when the idea of happiness seems far off and impossible? Quotables from the episode: I liken joy and happiness, the difference between that is that a river usually has a source. And A river can get filled up with mud and leaves and twigs and even beavers come along and build dams and so further on down the little stream, it's just dried up, rocky, dry bed. But if you follow that stream, you eventually come to the source and the source is where it just bubbles out. And that's how I liken happiness and joy is that joy is the source. My relationship with the Lord is my source of really life. It's my source of source of strength. It's my source of everything. The breath that I breathe comes from God and that is my joy. So, I can have these circumstances like postpartum where it felt like continue on with the analogy that streambed dried up. It's like the depression built this dam between the feelings of happiness and yet that joy, the source was still bubbling and still there. From a neuroscience perspective, happiness and joy engage the brain in distinct but overlapping ways. Both emotions activate reward systems in the brain, but their triggers, durations, and neural pathways differ significantly. Happiness is often a fleeting emotional state triggered by external stimuli or achievements, like eating a favorite meal, receiving a compliment, or reaching a goal. The brain's happiness response is typically short-lived, subsiding once the rewarding experience ends or the novelty wears off. Joy is a deeper, more enduring emotional state that often arises from intrinsic sources, such as gratitude, faith, or connection with others. Unlike happiness, it does not rely solely on external circumstances. Joy is more sustainable than happiness because it is less tied to transient external factors and more rooted in internal states like faith, gratitude, and meaningful relationships. Happiness primarily relies on external stimuli and rewards, triggering immediate but temporary dopamine release Joy emerges from internal processes and deeper reflections, engaging serotonin pathways and regions involved in emotional and existential meaning. Happiness is short-term, as the brain’s reward circuitry adapts quickly to pleasurable stimuli (a phenomenon called hedonic adaptation). Joy is longer-lasting, supported by neural circuits linked to emotional regulation, contentment, and resilience. Happiness can be disrupted by stress, as the brain's focus shifts to managing perceived threats. Joy can coexist with stress, as it often stems from a sense of purpose or faith that provides emotional resilience during trials. Happiness happens to us while joy happens within us—fruit of the Spirit, a choice, endures hardships/sufferings. Happiness is a reaction but joy is a practice and a behavior, deliberate and intentional. In the Bible, happiness appears less than 30 times but joy appears hundreds of times. Counting it all joy when we face trials means we: experience God’s strength, feel the power of faith, hang on God’s powerful arm, and witness God’s work. When we “count it all joy” God proves himself faithful to produce steadfastness in our hearts. Scripture References: James 1:2-4, ESV “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And Let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” Esther 8:16, NIV “For the Jews it was a time of happiness and joy, gladness and honor.” Proverbs 23:25, NLT “So give your father and mother joy! May she who gave you birth be happy.” Psalm 92:4, NET “For you, O Lord, have made me happy by your work. I will sing for joy because of what you have done.” Isaiah 52:7, ESV and NASB “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” Psalm 32:1-2 NLT “Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty! 2 Corinthians 12:10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Listen to the second message from our series through James. Pastor Derrick teaches from James 1:2-4.

Listen in as Pastor Nate discusses how we can have joy even in the midst of trials in life.

Send us a textWe got a big snow dump again, and the kids wanted to go outside and play in it. This was the best kind of snow, the kind that packs tight so you can make snowballs and snowmen. The kids asked me to teach them how, and I explained you have to apply pressure and press the snow in your hands - that's what makes it stronger. Life works the same way with our faith. We've got to recognize that difficulties are not necessarily something to be avoided, they have the potential to test our faith and make us stronger. Sometimes a little pressure is what keeps you from falling to pieces. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

In Week 1 of The Book of James: Count It All Joy, Pastor Travis unpacks the power and wisdom of James 1, a letter written by Jesus' own brother—a man who didn't believe until he encountered the resurrected Christ. Just like James, we all have an until moment—when God meets us in our struggles and changes everything. Pastor Travis shares his own until moment, recounting his near-death experience from a massive stroke, where the only words he could speak were, "Count it all joy." This chapter of James reminds us that trials aren't setbacks; they're setups for God's greater purpose. It challenges us to embrace joy in the fire, resist temptation with God's strength, and move from just hearing His Word to living it out. This message is a powerful reminder that God is refining us, strengthening us, and leading us to victory. When we trust Him and walk in obedience, we're not just surviving—we're stepping into His blessing.

We'll start today looking at the book of Ruth. This is a wonderful book, one of my very favorites, because it teaches us the power of redemptive kindness. We need some of that redemptive kindness in the world today, don't we? We all hope the New Year will be better, but we look a few days in and realize everything is the same as it has always been. We will have hard times this year, as we do each year. Don't hope for a perfect year. But live this year knowing that God is with us, no matter what!

Patience. It's a fruit of the spirit, and one that most of us would say we don't operate in very often. In our culture of now, with fear of missing out at an all time high, patience can seem to be unattainable. However, the Word promises that our patience will grow as our faith is tested. When the storms of life come, are we placing our trust in God and responding only how and when He wants us to?! If we choose to WAIT with confident trust in our great God, our patience will grow and we will find ourselves able to navigate the tough times of life with joy and peace unaffected!!!!!

Count It All Joy

This sermon was a Prayer Meeting devotional preached at Joe's home church--Morningside Baptist in Greenville, SC (www.morningside.org).

It's hard to find the freedom Jesus offers in a culture steeped in religion, especially when the book of James keeps getting thrown around like a spiritual hammer. Too often, James is used to turn faith into a tool for validating our salvation instead of the lens that lets us see it. No wonder anyone who's caught the message of grace might get twitchy around a book in the New Testament that is all about law. But what if our fear of James comes from years of misrepresentation? Welcome to our new podcast series on James—the book everyone loves to quote but few want to deal with! It's time to strip away the misconceptions and see that James isn't questioning our foundation, he's showing us what it looks like to dance on it!______________________________________________________________________Helping You Learn To Live Loved...Become a Lark Supporter: https://larksite.com/donateWeb: https://larksite.comLarkcast: https://larksite.com/larkcastBook: Reclaim (Available on Amazon) https://larksite.com/reclaimInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lark_social/

We meet something at almost every turn that we think ought to be different. If we have high ideals, we may not feel satisfied to permit those conditions to remain as they are; we may even complain or antagonize. On the other hand, if our ideals be low, we may feel wholly indifferent, but then we find that those things go from bad to worse. What we seek, however, is our present comfort on the one hand and the betterment of everything about us on the other hand, and we wish to know how this may be brought about in the midst of the confusion, the ignorance and the ills that we find in the world. When we are indifferent to the wrong it becomes worse; therefore, even for our own good we must do something with those adverse conditions that exist in the home, in society, or in the state. We must meet all those things and meet them properly, but the problem is, how? To antagonize, criticise or condemn never helps matters in the least; besides, such states of mind are a detriment to one's own peace and health. The critical mind wears itself out while thinking about the wrong, but the wrong in the meantime goes on becoming worse. To feel disappointed because the universe does not move according to our fancy will not change the universe, but it will produce weakness in our own mind and body. That person who lives constantly in the world of despondency will soon lose all hold upon life; he consequently does nothing in the world but bring about the end of his own personal life. The usual way of dealing with the problems of life solves nothing. The ordinary way of meeting temptation gives the tempter greater power, while the person who tries to resist is usually entrapped in adversity and trouble. But St. Paul has told us what to do under all such circumstances. Count it all joy. That is the secret. Count it all joy no matter what may come, agreeing with all adversity at once, antagonizing nothing, condemning no one, leaving criticism alone. Never be disappointed or discouraged, and have nothing whatever to do with worry. Whatever comes, count it all joy.
