Joy That The Darkness Cannot Steal

May 23, 2026

Chad Roberts: Is it possible to have real joy even when life feels overwhelming? Hi, I'm Chad Roberts. After becoming blind, I had to discover a joy that doesn't depend on my circumstances.

In my new book, Blind Faith: Seeing God Through Darkness, I share how I learned that joy isn't the absence of pain or darkness; it's the presence of Jesus. He gives a deep, steady joy that the darkness cannot steal.

If you're walking through sorrow or difficulty, ask Jesus to fill you with His joy today. It's not fake positivity; it's real resilience, and it's available to you right where you are.

I share more about my journey in my brand new book, Blind Faith: Seeing God Through Darkness. I've poured my heart into this new book, and I hope you enjoy it. Order your copy today at blindfaith.life. That's blindfaith.life.
