In this episode of Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, Asheritah Ciuciu sits down to share how believers can rediscover joy in their relationship with Christ—even after deep wounds, burnout, and seasons of spiritual dryness. Drawing from her personal story of family heartbreak, church hurt, and emotional exhaustion, Asheritah explains how Jesus met her in those painful moments and gently restored her delight in Him.

Through Scripture, honest reflection, and practical rhythms, Asheritah invites us to move beyond merely doing spiritual disciplines and instead learn how to truly delight in Jesus as a friend and shepherd. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, discouraged, or disconnected from God, this conversation will remind you that Christ is still present—and His joy is still available.
