Nothing Happens for a Reason: Joy & Suffering
Update: 2025-09-21
Description
Bailee and Ashley dive into how evangelical culture taught them to view joy and suffering — from the pressure to “choose joy” in every circumstance to the idea that enduring hardship was proof of true faith. They reflect on how these teachings minimized real emotions, fueled toxic positivity, and made space for shame when life didn’t feel joyful enough.
They also share what it’s looked like to unlearn those patterns and embrace a healthier perspective on both grief and joy — one that makes room for honesty, healing, and freedom.
