Tauren Wells, the Grammy-nominated artist and pastor, just released his first book, “Joy Bomb: Unleash Jesus’s Explosive Joy for an Extraordinary Life.” In it, Wells unpacks what real joy looks like through the lens of Jesus’s teachings — especially the Beatitudes — showing that joy isn’t just about good vibes or easy seasons. “Jesus’ first message was about how to be truly happy,” he says.
The book walks through eight core principles that challenge cultural ideas about happiness, helping readers move from surface-level positivity to a deeper, more rooted joy. Wells mixes biblical insight with his own experiences, making space for practical reflection.
Though he’s known for preaching, Wells makes it clear this book came from a different place: “This wasn’t birthed from a pulpit strategy — it’s a calling that traces all the way back to childhood.”
With a foreword from Steven Furtick and endorsements from Steph Curry and Joel Osteen, “Joy Bomb” feels like an honest, grounded extension of Wells’ creative and spiritual life.
