God is our Father and we are His children, an invitation to enjoy intimacy and connection.

Your physical/emotional health is more than just about diet, nutrition, exercise and sleep. Our inner world/joyful mind/rejoicing heart has the capacity to prevent and treat bring health to our body, to cure, to heal.

God is happy within himself. God’s joy is not conditional on anything external. He invites us into His reality.

“I have permission to be hopeless about anything God is hopeless about. But since He is the God of all hope, as we are told in Romans 15:3, that narrows the opportunity for hopelessness down quite a bit." -Wendy Backlund.

How to get joy and hope.

How we see the church will shape how we interact and engage with it. If we don’t see it properly we will engage with it wrong. The church is not a business supplying a service but a family.

Jesus does not want disappointment, discouragement, and disillusionment to cause us to retreat from the adventure of a faith walk with Him. So He pursues us to bring us into his freedom.

Grace empowers us to do what God loves, we are not commanded to give....his grace is at work in us.

Paul says he learnt the secret, the recipe of contentment. Totally satisfied. Freedom from a wrong kind of hankering that can exhaust. (Philippians 4:12)

Paul one of the most visionary people in scripture, he was unstoppable. Paul could say I'll succeed in jail, I'll succeed as a millionaire. I'll succeed if people think I'm great and succeed if people don't think I'm great and don't even like me. I will succeed in everything I do. Nothing can make me respond negatively. I am not a victim to delay or success.
