In this powerful message, we are reminded of the central theme of faith and how it intersects with our human experiences of doubt and disbelief. The sermon centers around the story of Abraham and Sarah from Genesis 18, where God promises the seemingly impossible—a child in their old age. This biblical narrative challenges us to confront and transform our skepticism into a vibrant joy that stems from trusting in God's boundless capabilities. As we navigate our lives, we're called to ask ourselves, 'Is anything too hard for the Lord?' Embracing this inquiry invites us to experience God's transformative power personally and uniquely, as He meets each of us where we are. The message draws parallels between Sarah's laughter of disbelief turning into a laughter of joy, encouraging us to see our own skepticism morph into awe and wonder at God's miraculous works. It's a call to relinquish our past burdens, free ourselves from others' opinions, and open up to God's call, allowing Him to reorient every facet of our lives.

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. ** Get your copy of Joy Bomb here Learn more about Tauren and all he has to offer here Learn more about your ad choices.
