Praise You In This Storm is a wonderful song!
I agree it's easy to be discouraged by fakeness or hypocrites, but they will always exist. If you are a new Christian I suggest you get into a daily Bible study alone and one with your DH weekly. You should read thru the Bible fully every 2 years. If you read just 3 or 4 chapters a day you can get through the entire New and Old Testaments in 18 months. I would suggest you go in this order at first:
The Gospel of John
Romans
Hebrews
Genesis
Matthew, Mark and Luke, then the rest of the NT you haven't read, then back to Exodus.
Along with this you can do a Proverb each day and go through the Book of Proverbs each month. It's a Book of Wisdom.
I would also suggest some Bible study authors such as Harold Willmington (Wilmington's Guide to the Bible) and Elmer Towns (he has a ton of used books on ebay and amazon). I would also suggest a Spiritual Gifts survey to see where God most likely has bless and equiped you to serve Him:

God bless you as you seek to serve Him and may He comfort you as you seek to be in His Will.
