The way we view our lives matters. Often times when I talk with Christians, they can tell me they have a beautiful testimony--a moment in time where they truly felt and experienced God. But pain, challenge, and trails have a way of shaping the story we tell ourselves about our lives, about who we are, and even about God. This lesson is designed to help you recast the pain you may have experienced in your life and begin reauthoring a life you were meant to life: a life of joy. This lesson is an excerpt of my Made for Joy Series, which is a 7-week study designed to help you embrace and live a life of true, sustainable joy. So, when you are finished with this lesson and want more, let me know, and I'll help you get the whole series!
