Joy is closer than you think because God is better than you may believe!
We live in a culture that either tries to connect feelings of joy to empty and broken pleasures, or else it makes us feel guilty for feeling joyful at all. But both extremes are corruptions of the call to gladness that God gave us.
With infectious humor, delight, and unfaltering wisdom, Candace Payne (aka "Chewbacca Mom") reveals biblical insights that lead to unshakable joy and freedom in every circumstance. Dispel the myths that joy is frivolous, laughter immature, and happiness unbiblical or undeserved; and open your heart to receive the freedom and joy that God created you to live in.
John 15:11 says, "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete."
In this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), learn what it is to live a life expressed by the joy of knowing how much you are loved by God!
