  • Episode 3: Pursuing Joy in Loving Others

    Welcome to Pursuing Joy! I am so glad you're here!  In this episode, we are looking at how Jesus was sent to be the PERFECT example of God's love. We look at HOW Jesus loved during his earthly ministry, WHO we are called to love, and how spiritual gifts given to us help us carry out God's love.  Your time and your presence hold value and your purpose is not circumstantial. Be encouraged with this message to boldly step out with faith to love and serve others!

          • Episode 2: Pursuing Joy in God's Love

            Welcome to Pursuing Joy! I am so glad you're here!  In this episode, we are diving deep into the word, LOVE. To do so, we need to start with the author and creator of love, God. We'll take a look at what the Bible says about love and how it differs from our worldly view of love. After listening you should be filled with joy knowing that God's love is life-changing, unlike anything we can imagine and that it is not meant to be contained!
