ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Everyone wants happiness, comfort, and good days—but could too much ease actually keep us from becoming who we are meant to be?
In this episode, Josh explores the powerful truth behind the phrase, “Sunshine all the time just makes a desert.” Just as plants need both sunlight and rain to grow, our lives need both joy and adversity. Through lessons from Pinocchio, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, scripture, and the natural world, Josh explains why difficult days are not always evidence that life is going wrong.
The rain will not last forever, but while it is here, it may be strengthening your roots, deepening your faith, and helping something important grow beneath the surface.
