Podcasts about defiant joy

Cynicism forms slowly--through disappointments, delays, and prayers God answers differently than we expected. But what do you do when your heart starts to harden? When hope feels risky? When expecting less from God feels safer than trusting Him again? In this message, you'll discover how Paul found defiant joy in a prison cell...and how you can fight back when cynicism tries to take over your heart.

"These are the words that we need in our own despondency and our sadness and the hard reality of living in the world that we live in. We need a defiant, 'Yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will be joyful in God my Savior.'"— Natalie AbbottToday's episode: Join Dwell Differently cofounders and sisters Natalie Abbott and Vera Schmitz as they talk about finding joy even in the toughest situations—in the Bible and in their own lives. They help us understand Habakkuk's struggle for defiant joy in spite of his fear and his complete lack. They also talk about the gritty daily reality of choosing joy every day—especially when life feels bleak. They are compassionate and compelling. It's a message you won't want to miss.This month's memory verse: "Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior." — Habakkuk 3:18Memorize Scripture with us: Find out more about the easy button for Scripture memory, Dwell Differently's monthly membership!Support our show: It's really just as simple as leaving us a review!Links from today's show: Get your copy of How to Remember, by Andrew Osenga.Check out Qava to help you study the Bible (use code DWELL50 for 50% off).Get The Biggest Story Holy Bible here for 30% off with a free Crossway Plus account.Support the showFollow Natalie & Vera at DwellDifferently.com and @dwelldifferenly.

What do we do when the needs around us feel too overwhelming to make a difference? In this final message from our Defiant Joy series in Philippians, we explore how cynicism, fear, and scarcity can shrink our capacity to live generously. Drawing from Paul's gratitude to the Philippian church, we consider how generosity is not only about meeting practical needs but about the inner transformation that happens as we loosen our grip on time, money, and comfort. Through Scripture, cultural reflection, and honest confession, we're invited to rediscover the freedom that comes from trusting in God's abundance.

Psalm 98 wasn't written from comfort or ease—it was forged in the real pressures of ancient life: instability, loss, empire, exhaustion. Yet the Psalmist calls God's people to shout, sing, and rejoice. Why? Because joy isn't denial. It isn't pretending things are fine. It's defiance. It's a deliberate act of re-centering on a God who keeps covenant even when circumstances fall apart.

How do you find joy when the diagnosis feels devastating? How can you become the joyful person God calls you to be—even in the midst of your deepest pain?Author Margaret Feinberg was nearing the completion of a book on joy when she received a life-altering diagnosis: aggressive cancer. What followed was a profound season of wrestling—an honest, raw search to understand what joy truly means when suffering feels overwhelming. Through that journey, Margaret discovered a deeper, more authentic belief about joy: that it can be a defiant act of worship in the darkest valleys. And when we choose to give joy away—even when we don't feel it—our own joy can begin to grow.In the midst of her pain, Margaret encountered the transformative power and presence of the Holy Spirit. Her latest book, **The God You Need to Know: Experience the Holy Spirit's Power and Presence Today**, invites readers to experience that same presence no matter what they're walking through.In this uplifting conversation, Davey and Margaret discuss how to truly show up for others in ways that heal rather than hurt, where joy can be found in suffering, and how to navigate the lingering fear that often follows hardship.If you're in a season where joy feels distant, this episode will encourage you to see that even small acts of sharing joy with others can help awaken it in your own heart as you walk through suffering.

"Attach to Jesus and access joy." Pastor Josh Shideler continues preaching through the book of Habakkuk.

How do you become the kind of person who can say, “It is well with my soul” in the midst of devastation? In this message, Matt Murphy walks us through Habakkuk 3, showing how the prophet moves from raw complaint to resolute worship—not through easy answers, but by encountering the living God in His glory and power. Like Horatio Spafford, who penned those famous hymn lyrics after heartbreaking loss, Habakkuk teaches us a gritty, resilient faith that learns to sing even in the dark. Join us as Matt unpacks this powerful picture of hope that holds, even when everything else shakes.

The renewal of the church's reputation begins with a posture of humility and service, not with image management or self-promotion. Paul introduces himself to the Philippians not as an apostle, but as a servant—a “slave of Christ”—modeling the self-emptying humility of Jesus. Our identity must be rooted in serving others, not in status or recognition.

Paul is in prison, unable to do the very thing he was called to—yet his thoughts are soaked in joy. Writing to the church in Philippi, he shows that joy begins not in circumstances but in the mind—with gratitude—deepening in the heart and maturing through prayer as we see that the God who began a good work will carry it through. From Phil. 1:1-11. 

In the midst of her young daughters battle with cancer, Kate Merrick shut down her social media and hasn't looked back. She has written two books on her personal journey through grief and wrestling with God while embracing the good gift of life away from the distractions online. Kate has a raw and honest way of conveying truth and I just loved our conversation. We laugh hard and go deep. This last episode of the season is absolutely one to listen to and share!
