Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her study on the book of Colossians.

his grace and strength to rise above our circumstances. The book of Colossians is truly a manual for understanding everything we have in Christ.

In this unique Bible study, Joyce will show us how Colossians is our guide to becoming more like him

and reflecting his love, joy, peace, and stability to the world around us.

I was listening to a podcast while I was putting on my makeup in the morning and I was enjoying it.

It was about words that can change your life.

There was just a handful of them, but words that can change your life.
