Surrender the Joy Stealers
Rediscover the Jesus Joy in You
6-week Bible Study
When the struggles of this world drain us dry and wring us out, our desert mentality becomes fertile ground for the enemy’s lies to grow. We place our trust in what we see and feel instead of in the God we know and love.
The enemy may threaten to steal our joy—but the truth is, he can’t crack the code.
This strategic six-session Bible study will help women rediscover the overflowing, ever-present Jesus joy within.
“We’ve lost our joy, friends. Something walked right in, bold as day, and stole it out from underneath us. We are discouraged. We are angry. We are sad. We are confused. We are at odds with each other—and the world is receiving a jaded message about faith. That’s not who we are, and that’s why I’m saying this bold and clear.
It’s time to take our joy back.“
God has infused us with his joy, his Spirit, and his love…
we are soaked in his living water, which cannot be drained dry—and we are filled with his joy that cannot be emptied out.
Surrender the Joy Stealers is a strategic six-session Bible study rooted in John 15, that helps women rediscover the overflowing, ever-present Jesus joy within, that fills them, empowers them, and ripens the fruit God produces in their lives. Using personal stories and Biblical application, women will learn how to identify their joy stealers, surrender them to God, reawaken the joy within them, and share that joy with others.
