What does it mean to have joy even when life hurts? In this honest and heartfelt message, Michael Bohrer reflects on suffering—from sports heartbreaks and personal setbacks to deep grief and loss—and how the Apostle Paul’s words in Philippians offer a surprising invitation: to find joy not after suffering, but within it. Through personal stories, biblical truth, and a reminder that we’re not meant to walk alone, Michael points us to a kind of joy the world can’t steal—a joy rooted in Jesus, forged in hardship, and shared through community.
