Joy … we think we know what it is, but do we? Is it just a nice, happy feeling?
But what happens when joy is low or absent in homes, in schools, in the churches? How do we recover from feeling disconnected, empty, and even depressed?
With a fresh approach to Life Model’s book, we’ll explore authors E. James Wilder, Ed M. Khouri, Chris M. Coursey, and Shelia D. Sutton findings of what real joy is. By considering brain science, contemplating scripture, and sharing their relatable stories of discovery, we, too, can experience joy that is attainable and learn how to cultivate it.
Every session includes a variety of activities such as quieting, short readings, group discussions, small group sharing, joy-building activities, and spiritual practices such as Immanuel.
So, come! All are invited. There is room at this table for everyone; young and old, weak or strong. Pull up a chair, we’ve been waiting for you.
“I have told you these things so that you can have the same joy I have and so that your joy will be the fullest possible joy.” John 15:11 (EXB)
